Wedding is definitely a pleasing event. However, the cost involved to arrange a wedding is quite high and unmanageable. But if you think intelligently, you can have a cheap but very beautiful wedding. Here are top 10 ways to save money on your wedding.

1. Fewer Guests
   With every name you add in your guest list, you are increasing the budget considerably. It’s not just food cost, but you also spend more on rentals, centerpiece, favors, etc. It’s not really important to invite people whom you haven’t talked since last 3-4 years. And don’t compel people to bring a date, if they are single.
2. Save Postage cost
   Avoid having a blotted paper or inner envelopes in your invitation. Get a cheap but decent envelope instead of an expensive one. It’s really unnecessary to have a reply card. Instead ask people to send replies online or on telephone. By doing this, you save printing as well as postage cost.
3. Use internet to buy cheap wedding dress
   Generally, people buy very expensive clothes for their wedding. And I don’t deny; they should. However, they don’t spend time to get the best deal. They don’t conduct much research to get discounts and coupons for wedding attires. Many websites like ebay.com or craigslist.com can also prove to be very useful. Also, cleaning cost of very intricately designed dress is quite expensive. Buy simple but beautiful clothes.
4. Not on Saturday or Sunday
   Having a wedding on Sunday will always prove to be an expensive deal. On a weekend, it’s every likely that many people will attend your wedding. Moreover, demand for wedding on these days is very high. Hence, vendors too charge high.
5. Save money on decoration
   It’s quite worthless to spend much on decoration because people wouldn’t remember much after few years. They will remember that you are married even if you don’t spend much on decoration.
6. Ask for help
   It’s not a disgrace if you ask your relative to play music on your wedding, or ask creative people to make frugal decorations. In fact, your relatives will really like if you ask them for help. Moreover, you can ask your friends on ways to save money for your wedding. Or visit websites like frugalbride.com or wedfrugal.com.
7. Be Creative
   This is the best among top 10 ways to save money. Many decorations can be done by you, if you decide to be a bit creative. Ask your friends to help you. If you include homemade articles, it would look artful instead of cheap. However, make sure it’s made properly.
8. Get cheap weeding food and drink

9. Use Ebay
