Why expensive weddings are a waste of money

My wedding cost over £ 2000. This included the wedding ceremony, wedding reception, evening reception, a hotel stay during the night, my wedding dress, cake and wedding rings. How does my husband to be-and I do it? Very smart we think and what people say.
Weddings are a pompous affair these days. The recession could cost the average wedding'm pushed by £ 20,273 in 2008 to 15,500 pounds in 2011, but remains a potential reservoir of the house lying on a single day, is it really worth it?

Think about the weddings of family break-budget of my youth (around 1980), were a jumble of gray taffeta fishing, nightclubs and seedy flight. They were no less memorable than the elaborate and expensive ceremonies of this decade? No, to be honest, and were much more fun!
You see, no matter where you are, you get married or get married where you want the people that there are three things that come to do at a wedding: the dress-up drink and dance. Whether you need to get sorted and your wedding a memorable affair for all the right reasons.
Determine your budget and stick to it!
Once you have decided to spend what they are willing to take, do not go a penny over. Be prepared to shop around, no barter for the best deal, commitment, and maybe even some pieces of their own.
I managed to rope most of the family in preparing for my wedding. My mother made my beautiful bouquet and buttonholes, my father and his slick "up" car came as a driver and my talents soon-to-man and unsung heroes of local cuisine that our wedding cake. It was difficult, but the great part was that everyone really feels part of the wedding, which made it possible.
Marrying off-season
From May to October are the peak months for weddings. Stretch between November and April, and could save some serious money. The sites are prone to special offers and discounts running throughout the winter (except Christmas), so shop around for the best deal you can get. Getting married in January meant that most of the places I checked on selected dates and cuts had to choose.
Married created midweek
To save even more for marriage between Monday and Thursday. This may mean that less of your customers can do (which means fewer mouths to things), but it took a case of the wedding in mid-week can reduce a heavy amount of money in the end marriage bill.
Take advantage of social networks
Why spend money on expensive wedding invitations, if the email with all available information for free? Or better yet, social media by storm and invite your Facebook friends and Twitter! Your invitations are not lost in the mail (or behind the sofa) and you can keep track of what is coming to celebrate. Of course, Aunt Meg needs a great invitation document, but the less able, the better!
Never mention your wedding ... ever!
If you want a hundred more kilos to beat your own, then why not the world I always say, are married. If not, keep Stum! Wedding venues and reception aside, bakers, florists and caterers are likely to give you a better price if you do not know that you are shopping for your wedding. He can say a little porky pies, but was left with more books in your pocket.
Not at all, show that vanishes
What is the difference between £ 30 and £ 130 bouquet of flowers and bouquet of flowers? A wedding! And that's before jumping into the table decorations ... A friend of mine, in a refined and exclusive jurisdiction to marry a few weeks later confessed, and was going to spend almost £ 1,000 on flowers. That is correct. Thousands of pounds on the table, the Greens was covered with wine and cakes. Well done, your nose is not withering away within days of their marriage. Oh, wait ...
Stop wasting money on things that are irrelevant
I have my other half, to give thanks. If I remember correctly, was his reaction to my "wish list Wedding", something like: "You do not have to marry in a castle, or the West Wing, Mr. Pemberley We can not, and is likely to be lost. halls anyway. Neither you need to give your bridesmaids some memories Tiffany to thank, they are there because I love you. And by the way, you do not release some fire eaters, a horse or a those people who are deaf. "
The problem is that he was right, especially pigeons. Face it, if you're lucky you did not catch the photographer's face strangely attracted to unleash his friend Flappy, with feathers in the air when you're out of luck ...
And on that note I wish you a happy anniversary, happy and very cheap
