Walk Down the Aisle for Less

Walk Down the Aisle for Less

Beginning life as a married couple with significant debt can place a strain on your finances and relationship. Wedding costs can be exorbitant, but you can find ways to control them. In addition to setting a wedding budget, consider these ideas for trimming costs.


Invite fewer people. Trimming the guest list means the food, drinks and venue will cost less. Consider hosting a special brunch later at your home for people you left off the list.


Choose a different time and place. Wedding venues typically cost more on weekends. Having your wedding during the week may save you money. Winter months (January through March) are considered off-season for weddings, so you may find low-cost venue options then. Holding the ceremony and reception in an attractive backyard is also something to consider, as is getting married at town hall, followed by dinner at a restaurant.


Save on wedding clothes. Shop sample sales and trunk shows for a wedding gown and bridesmaids’ dresses. Check thrift stores for nearly new tuxes.


Let flowers do double duty. Bridesmaid’s bouquets and flowers from the ceremony can be used to adorn tables at the venue.


Forgo travel. You’ll save a bundle by sticking close to home.
