Reception:
-Cut the guest list. This will slash your catering costs and save on invitations and even the number of centerpieces.
-Hold your ceremony and reception in one spot -- it will cut travel time for vendors you pay by the hour.
-Have bigger tables so you need fewer centerpieces and tablecloths.
Flowers:
-Use more greenery than flowers
-Swap out costly flowers -- did you know peonies can be five times more expensive than roses?
-Stick to just one or two kinds of flowers.
-Buy flowers that are in season
Food & Drink:
-Skip the main course -- apps and drinks are fine too
-Offer beer, wine, and a signature cocktail instead of a full bar.
Cake:
-Order a small one or two-tiered cake and then supplement cake with a larger sheet cake (hidden back in the kitchen).
-Use fresh flowers, not sugar ones.
Stationary & Favors:
-Get single-page invites to save on postage.
- Email your save-the-dates.
