Plan a Wedding within Budget

Everyone dreams of a lavish wedding, but few can afford it. To have a wonderful wedding, there is no need to break the bank. It just requires good planning within your budget.

Wedding experts from Colonial Inn in NJ suggest ways to plan your wedding and save money.

Budget

• Get a clear understanding about whether your family, your partner and partner’s family are willing to contribute to the wedding.

• Sit with them and discuss how much you can afford. • Divide all the elements of the wedding, like wedding venue in

NJ, dresses, flowers, and gifts to decide how much to spend on each.

Guest List

• Make a guest list, and consider inviting only immediate family and close friends.

Invitations

• Instead of professionally designed and printed invitations, send emails or design and print your own invitations.

• If you opt for printed invitations, then choose a simple design and avoid multi-layers and bulk.

Dresses

• A bridal salon is not your only option for a dress. There are several alternatives to finding a beautiful gown, even a designer gown.

• eBay, Craigslist and second-hand stores have beautiful designer gowns at a fraction of the cost.

Wedding Venues, NJ

• For wedding event venues in NJ, you can choose a non-traditional venue, such as a garden, vineyard, community center, or home of a friend or family member.

• These locations are free or very low cost.

Flowers

• Use fake flowers. • If you want to use real flowers, then order blooms that are in-

season. You can also order loose stems and make the arrangements.

Music

• Make a playlist of songs for your special day, and play it on your iPod, iPhone or other system.

• For live music, ask a musician friend or hire musicians from a music school to play at your ceremony.
