A wedding day is such a festive event. It has a special importance as one of the happiest moments in our lives. Of course, every newlywed couple wants it to be their brightest and most joyful memory. But the more luxurious the wedding, the more expenses it requires. If you have a modest wedding budget or simply do not see any sense in spending a fortune, read these tips. They will help you reduce your wedding expenses without turning your special day into an average, cheap party.

1. Guest list. Think twice before inviting each guest. Is it really a person you would like to see at your wedding? A wish to share your happiness with the entire world is quite understandable. Reduce the guest list to the people that are the most loved and dear ones to both of your families.

2. Location. Is the most fashionable city hall really that important? Will you live happier if you spend much more on a luxurious place to celebrate the wedding? There are always plenty of nice and cozy places for a much smaller sum. The quality of service in such places can often be even better.

3. Decoration. A good idea is to do them yourself and avoid having to hire and pay someone else to do this. Surf the Internet and you will surely find many interesting ideas that will make your wedding really special.

4. A wedding limousine looks gorgeous but it doesn t come cheap. Think of other possible options of a fancy car you can rent. Mind that in the wedding salons they usually wind up the prices.

5. Wedding menu. It is quite normal to have a desire to serve an abundance of the best food in the world, but let us be honest. How much can one person eat? Usually, there are plenty of leftovers from the wedding table. Mind that when you plan a menu and the amount of food to cook.

Still, there are things inappropriate to save on.

1. A wedding dress. It is a bride s day; she is the queen. The only thing where you can spend less is going to a good tailor instead of a wedding salon. But remember that a worthy tailor is not cheap either.

2. Bridal photography. It is a memory for the entire life and it must be done by a professional.

3. Wedding rings. This is another area you shouldn t try to save on. Since this is something that you will have to live with for the rest of your life.
