Have you set your wedding budget? Is it more than you were planning on spending? Many couples are faced with the struggle of having the wedding they want, but not having the means to make it happen.<\/p>\n

Here are 5 ways to cut wedding costs:<\/h2>\n

Entertainment Bundles<\/a><\/h3>\n

When booking multiple services with the same company, discounts are typically offered. Services that Complete KC offers are DJs, Photography, Videography, Photobooth, and Up-lighting. We can help you build your custom package to fit your needs and budget.<\/p>\n

DIY Decor<\/h3>\n

Consider creating your own DIY vases. Many restaurants give away wine bottles for free, which can be painted or embellished to suit your theme. There are plenty of inexpensive gift ideas for your guests, such as seed bombs, homemade chocolates, DIY cups, or cookies.<\/p>\n

Go Paperless<\/h3>\n

Save money on your wedding by going paperless for invitations, RSVPs, and thank you cards. Consider using digital platforms like Evite<\/a>, Punchbowl<\/a>, Minted<\/a>, Facebook Events, and many others.<\/p>\n

The Less, the Merrier<\/h3>\n

Consider having a smaller crowd. Reducing your guest list can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Costs for dinner and alcohol are calculated per head, and these expenses can add up quickly.<\/p>\n

The Gown<\/h3>\n

Aside from big-ticket vendors, another big cost can be a wedding dress. Consider looking at department stores for elegant white dresses that aren’t labeled as wedding gowns. You can elevate your wedding look with a dress and the right accessories like shoes, veil, belts, and earrings.\u00a0Websites like Stillwhite offer a wide selection of pre-owned gowns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are SO many ways to cut wedding costs. Be careful to not buy things that you don\u2019t necessarily need, such as customized napkins, huge floral centerpieces, or expensive guest gifts. Most businesses will negotiate cost with you because they want your business. Don\u2019t forget the most important part of this all, ENJOY IT! \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
