6 tips to Save $10,000
In this article, Kiplingers gives you six tips to help you save $10,000 on your wedding. Here is a summary of the savings:
- When comparing venues, make sure that you are comparing apples for apples when comparing the cost. One location may quote you a price including taxes and service charges while another may not and those fees could drive up the cost substantially.
- You can add to your savings by ordering your invitations and save the date cards online. May I suggest you can further add to your savings by considering a Youtube style Save the Date and if you dare invitation as mentioned in these post.
- Save on postage and printing by setting up a website. The article lists 3 companies who will host your website for you. They include: MyWedding.com, TheKnot.com and Wedding Windows While there is a charge for weddingwindow, I think the templates are better and easier to use on weddingwindow than the others. If you are really looking for a cheap way to host a wedding website, why not create a blogger or wordpress account?
- The article discusses how to save money on your dress as well. If you are are on a tight budget, then you could also consider a used dress, try a consignment shop or even craigslist. Also, some dress shops have discontinued dresses at a discount.
- For photography, the article mentions renting a Kedai console, which allows you to have your guest download their cameras onto the device and then you can review the pictures. If your on a budget, drop me an email and ask about the budget friendly package.
- In lieu of merchandise gifts, you could open a MatriMoney account at a bank or credit union. This account would allow gift givers to make a deposit instead of spending money on something you may or may not need.
