Cheap Wedding Ideas

By PJ Easton

You are short on money at the moment? You wish to have a cheap weeding party?

Here are some ideas for your unique cheap wedding party:

1. Find a nice big room in your location for hire. Sometimes bars and restaurants are offering their locations for private functions. You will find also Community halls for hire, which normally belong to the council or to a club or church. Occasionally you can hire it for a small donation only.

Normally the locations have everything you need for a big cheap wedding party: tables, chairs, a bar and kitchen, bathroom and toilets. (First big saving)

Make sure that the location allows music and it should be not restricted on time. Please consider when your party is going, it can be difficult when your guests are enjoying themselves, so you will need to allow for where the location is and the houses located around it.

2. Get your friends involved in your wedding party planning. Very often they have already some experience in weddings and special skills, so they can help you with the work and also contacts, which can help borrow other items you might need.

May be you are lucky and some of your friend are chefs (or at the least good cooks) and they will help prepare your wedding dinner. You may only need to buy the ingredients and this may count as a gift from them.

Other friends might be helping you during the party, because they could experience in serving people or they are just talented and want to help you out. Make a plan and the people, which are helping at the wedding party, so they are able to enjoy your party, too.

Ask your friends, how to get a cheap music band, entertainer or sound system. May be someone knows, someone who is not a professional, but it is his hobby or he wants' to play records/CD's and entertain the group. (Second big saving)

3. If you do not want help from your friend another idea of a cheap wedding is: Hire a bar or restaurant for private function and let your friends pay the bill for drinks and food. It is not so funny and you still have to look for a band or DJ, who is entertaining your guests, but it is a cheap wedding idea.

4. Another suggestion for cheap wedding party is: Invite your friends and tell them to bring something to eat or drink. (Instead or additional to the wedding gift). Make a plan. Tell your friends what they should bring with: drinks, something to eat, fun and themselves.

Look out for a big BBQ. Without a plan you will have plenty of beer and other drinks, but no steaks. Make a plan. It is necessary.

5. If you want to save also the hire costs of a room, use your garden, your neighbors' garden, a public park, or do it on the beach. (Best savings)

If you are not feeling comfortable with my cheap wedding ideas and the big savings, ask your Dad to sponsor your wedding party or wait till later to get married.

Save some money, it will be a good test of the relationship and could help you to learn more about your partner and how he/she deals with money. This could be valuable.

You can have a very good cheap wedding, but it takes a lot of thinking and preparation to make all the parts work together and is much better than starting of a marriage in debt, which creates unneeded stress from the start. You don't need that starting your married life together.
