Between everything, the average wedding is usually about \u00a320k, not including the honeymoon\u2026 Ouch!<\/p>\n<p>If spending too much money on your wedding day is a major cause of stress for you, here are some surprising tips for Saving Money on Your Wedding Day.<\/p>\n<h2>Marry Off-Season<\/h2>\n<p>Popular wedding venues and destinations generally will have lower prices for off peak wedding seasons. This is especially true if your destination is dependent on good weather. You may have a better chance of skimming something off an off peak season of week wedding.<\/p>\n<h2>Find out if Your Venue Has Any Dates They Want to Get Rid of<\/h2>\n<p>Again, many venues will have sales targets they need to reach by an end of month or quarter and will more than likely have at least one date that is still lingering. Be (somewhat) upfront and ask them if there are any dates that they are hoping to sell soon. You never know, it may lead to a deal\/special offer!<\/p>\n<h2>Decide on Where You Want Your Budget to Go<\/h2>\n<p>As with any budgeting, you need to decide what is most important to you on the day, and want can you scrimp\/save on. Knowing where you will want to spend your money and where you really don\u2019t want to splash out on will keep your mind in check as you spend<\/p>\n<h2>Bulk Buys<\/h2>\n<p>Bulk buying an item will usually lead to discounts. When it comes to stationery, sweeties or d\u00e9cor, it\u2019s usually best to buy 5-10% than you expect. There may be someone who will be added to your invite list last minute or someone who even RSVPs last minute. Sometimes, it\u2019s also worth paying for an extra few heads at you wedding, just in case.<\/p>\n<h2>Transport<\/h2>\n<p>Depending on if you want a church wedding, having your reception and ceremony in the same venue could mean you have saved a lot on transport costs. For example, your ceremony could be outdoor and the reception could be indoor.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ralphandjenny\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\">ralph and jenny<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s face it, when it comes to spending and weddings, it can be a very costly affair.
