Sometimes Less Is More

A nice wedding should not be judged based on the amount of money spent. We don’t have the same pocket sizes and thus cannot spend the same on our weddings. Some good, homemade food; a few drinks and much love is all we need to celebrate that important day. That less money would be more than enough for those who love us.

Easy On The Budget

simple wedding menuWhen one is thinking of preparing for a wedding ceremony, the first thing that comes to their mind is the budget. Not everyone has the ability to host an expensive wedding. Do you have a low budget for your upcoming wedding? This shouldn’t be a thing to worry about when proper measures are taken.

Wedding menu occupies a central part when it comes to wedding budgets. Much effort needs to be focused on this to save on expenses.

Thinking of buying food or hiring outside caterers? Why not seek the help of family and friends to help you with preparing the appetizers. These people can also help you do a clean-up after the wedding is over.

Have a daytime wedding so as to spend less to host your guests. This is because hosting your guests for dinner would be more costly than breakfast and lunch. By doing this, you will end up having a wedding of a lifetime with an unexpected budget. Continue reading to learn more tips to keep your wedding simple.

Simple Wedding Menu Ideas

However, with the help of professionals, a simple wedding can be arranged and still be one of the best. A simple wedding can be arranged and still look elegant. Here are some tips to help you organize a simple but beautiful wedding.

  • Appetizers- Rather than buying appetizers, you can choose to prepare your own to save on the budget. This can be prepared before the wedding and stored in a refrigerator. Your guests would also not mind serving themselves; saving you the expense of hiring serving staff.
  • Meals– You don’t have to spend a lot of money on meals for you to have the best wedding. It is important that the venue you choose for your wedding to be a place where outside caterers can be allowed. The food could even be prepared by your own family which would cost less as opposed to buying food. Also, rather than ordering food separately for each individual, like in hotels, you can order a large chunk of food which would be served to everyone in the table.
  • Drinks- A better way to spend less on drinks is to encourage your guests to bring their own drinks. Having an open bar would also lead to big expenses, as such, this should be limited. To add to these, serving non-alcoholic drinks would also go a long way in saving you lots of money and still have a good wedding.
  • Desserts- Spend less on desserts by ensuring you have just a simple cake. This cake should also be split into smaller slices to ensure all the wedding guests have a piece.

Other than the above tips to save on meals at your wedding, you should also look out for other costs that could be avoided. It would also be recommended that you only invite people that matter to you and your spouse so that you won’t have a huge number of people to feed.
