Wedding Finances - What Happens When the Money is Gone?
You have planned your wedding and thought the budget was going according to plan - but then there is an unexpected hitch and you need more money! What can you do?
Cut the reception. The reception costs more than the wedding. Instead of having plated meals, ask about the buffet option. If money is really tight, ask about snacks.
Take the alcohol away. If you have an open bar or a sponsored bar - make the guests pay for the alcohol. This will save a TON of money.
Go to a local alterations business. The alterations completed by the wedding dress store will cost nearly as much as the dress. Instead, find a local seamstress to complete the work.
Nix the honeymoon. Lots of couples get married and never leave the house. This could be a good thing. Get rid of the plane tickets and order pizza in bed! YEAH!
