You were dating for a few years and sometimes heard comments from friends talking about marriage, until one day “pa”: he knelt (or not, lol!) and asked you to marry him. That indescribable emotion happened, photos of you together posted on Instagram, in addition to official communication to the family.
Unexpectedly, you stop and think, “Wow, I’m getting married! But and now?” Organizing a wedding is not an easy task. There are many things to think about, from the budget to be made available to simple details, such as where guests can park their vehicles while they are at the ceremony and/or party.
Despite so many details and concerns to make the couple’s dream wedding come true, this is one of the most pleasurable tasks, which if planned with reasonable time and all the affection in the world, will be one of the memories that will be missed most after the wedding.
If you’ve read this far and are still unsure how to plan “that” dream wedding, we’ve prepared a series of tips that will help you know exactly where to start. Come on?
How to Plan a Simple Wedding
If you have a limited budget and need to organize a simple wedding, the best way is to plan ahead. In addition, getting your hands dirty and having the patience to negotiate with suppliers will be essential.
See our tips below for planning a simple wedding:
- Start at least a year in advance: the more time you have to negotiate, the more bargains will be won;
- Choose a day other than the weekend: normally, off-axis days Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning are usually cheaper;
- Choose open places: you’ll save on decoration and if you go until sunset, you’ll have beautiful photos;
- Perform the ceremony at the same place as the party;
- Use a nice set cake: you can serve a more economical dessert and still make it nice on the main table;
- Select your guests well: invite only those people who make a difference in your life. In addition to saving money, the ceremony will have an even more special meaning;
- Go for second rent: buying a wedding dress is throwing money away. The first rent is usually very expensive. It is possible to find beautiful dresses and with much more affordable prices on the second rent;
- bet on finger foods;
- DIY – do it yourself: the “do it yourself” is an alternative for decoration, party favors and other items. There are many inspirations on Google and social media;
- Be the DJ of the party yourself: you and your future husband can make a playlist with the songs they like the most. Today, with programmed computers, it is possible to dispense with the expense of DJing;
- And for honeymoons, travel in low season! You saved a lot…
How to plan a wedding on a shoestring
Unfortunately, the couple’s income is compromised with essential expenses and you cannot count on anyone’s financial help. However, be aware that it is possible to plan a wedding on a shoestring.
The tips below are exactly as big as your pocket will allow!
- Analyze all the couple’s expenses and after that, see what amount you actually have;
- You must ask yourselves: what can’t be missing from my marriage? This is the time to go back to the tip above and prioritize what is allowed with the budget;
- Book the registry office and church: in the case of the registry office, you can request free of charge, just check available dates and prerequisites;
- Make a short guest list: invite those who are really part of the couple’s life;
- Ask a friend to take the photos;
- Decide whether there will be a reception or a party;
- Choose outfits: remember pocket versus priority;
- Try to decide the details: party favors, invitations, among others. Remember there are things you can do yourself!
