Did you know?...

The average wedding in the UK is approximately £18,000.

That is a lot of money anytime, but in these times of economic uncertainties people are looking more and more to be able to save money wherever possible, and are realising more and more that trying to budget your wedding more and saving money where you can doesn't have to mean compromising on how special your day is!

While not everyone has £18,000 to spend on their wedding, even if your budget is only half this at £9,000, if you are able to shave 20% off your budget by following some of these tips, then you have saved yourselves just under £2,000, which is a considerable sum of money to put towards something like your honeymoon or even a sum to put towards your matrimonial home.

6 Quick Tips for A Cheaper Wedding

More detailed information including web links to sites are in the relevant section of this site.

1 - Have your wedding on a friday. All the costs of having your wedding on a saturday will be reduced substantially if you do this. Plus it makes it more of an occasion for those travelling from afar as they can have the full weekend visiting!

2 - Buy your wine online way ahead of your wedding allowing you to take advantage of any sales or deals as they come along . The money you will pay in corkage at your venue will be saved many times over if you do this well. See the 'Reception' Page of this site.

3 - Hire an expensive car from a hire company and get a friend or the best man to drive you from the church to your reception. Or if you want to have a hired driver, don't mention that you are booking for a wedding until after you have arranged the price. Many companies know people pay more for weddings so may charge you more.

4 - If you are on a very tight budget, cut back as much as possible on the amount of people at your reception. Do you really need to invite every distant cousin and auntie. 

5 - Use every opportunity you can do do little things yourself, as these are often the things which soon add up. These include invitations, wedding favours on tables at your reception, flower and your wedding cake. Every little bit saved, soon add up. Also use cashback sites for online purchases, a percentage back from retailers soon adds up and could soon be into the hundreds of pounds!!

 6 - Rather than having bridesmaids dresses made to order for each one, base the outfits on a specific colour and get separate off the peg dresses in this colour. This will save you lots of money and also means that each bridesmaid can get a dress in a stlye which suits her figure individually! By getting a matching set of jewellery for each bridesmaid for a few pounds each will easily offset the difference in styles.

Get Cash Back On All You Online Purchases

As well as using the internet to get the best deals and bargains, if you use cashback sites, then for every purchase you make you will get a percentage back from the ratailer. For day to day purchases this may not add up to much, but when making purchases for weddings, this could soon turn into hundreds of pounds!!
