10 TIPS TO KEEP A WEDDING CHEAP AND WITHIN YOUR BUDGET

A wedding is one of life's "big ticket" items like a house or a retirement account or a car. Whether we want a quick garden wedding or a fairy tale wedding, we all look for ways to cut expenses. Sometimes we do it out of sheer necessity and other times we do it so that we can afford other important things like a nice home or car after the wedding. Whatever your reason may be for scouting out budget-minded wedding tips, the following list may be able to help you keep a few pesos in your pocket after your big day.


TIP NUMBER 1
* Ask any of your friends or relatives who has been married. One of the biggest expenses, if not THE biggest expense, is your photographer. And rightly so. You will not be able to save a piece of your cake for decades or be able to squeeze into your wedding dress forty years later, but you will ALWAYS have your photos to remind you of that blissful day. So, of course, you want tons of photos. Instead of paying a thousand or more pesos hiring a photographer who will make you stop in the midst of biting down on your wedding cake to turn to the camera and pose, see if anyone in your family or in your circle of friends know someone who offers affordable photography services. Contact us for some pieces of advise.
