Stretching your wedding budget
Choose a weeknight to get married at your favorite wedding chapel, church or
even destination. Rates are much lower for weekday weddings (and this includes
not only the location, but also the vendors rates) and you get to enjoy the
weekend for your honeymoon.

Plan for the Reception When Considering Your Wedding Budget
Fifty percent of your wedding costs will be invested in the reception.
Receptions are where the couple cut their cake, take their first dance and
generally celebrate their nuptials. The venue, food, drinks, music, flowers and
photography are all just facets of the reception. So sit down with your lists
and get ready to mark all the things you absolutely want to have at your wedding
and then pay attention to these rules to trim back the cost.
