Affordable Charm Could Be Yours: Inexpensive, Classy Weddings and Receptions

By Davina Messer


The cost of a wedding can add up very quickly, and if you are on a tight budget you will need some low cost wedding ideas that still add up to the perfect day. Fortunately, there are ways to cut costs without giving up the wedding of your dreams. Here are some low cost wedding ideas to save money.

Backyard weddings or at-home ceremonies with outdoor wedding receptions are very popular depending on where you live, the climate and the season. If you or a family member or close friend don't really have the room to set up and accommodate your guests and a buffet and eating area, check with local parks to see about renting a pavilion and space for an afternoon.

Planning a cheap wedding reception on a small scale is easy if you keep it casual. Check with local caterers to see if they offer a lunch or picnic setup at a lower cost than the traditional "wedding" meal. Sometimes just adding the word "wedding" to anything will drive up the price. But if you don't tell the caterer that it's for a wedding and you're just looking for the standard meal for X amount of people, you save on the price.

There are plenty of low cost wedding ideas for things you can do yourself rather than hiring someone to do them. Make your own centerpieces and decorations, even wedding favours! Low cost wedding ideas for the favours include things like small decorative pouches of candy or a candle that you have decorated yourself with ribbon. You can also print your own invitations, place cards and thank you cards at home using affordable kits available at stationary stores. There are many do it yourself low cost wedding ideas that can save your budget while still making your wedding beautiful!

Small wedding ideas for favors lean a lot toward homemade wedding favors, like candies or nuts neatly placed into boxes. These make nice little decorations around the tables set up for your guests. So whether you're planning a small-scale wedding due to financial reasons, the economy or you just like simplicity, these small wedding ideas should help you springboard more ideas to get the planning in gear for your wedding day.
