šÆ How to Plan a Wedding on a Budget
Planning a wedding on a budget can feel daunting, but a clear plan makes all the difference. Here are some tried-and-tested ways to stay on track:
1ļøā£ Set Clear Priorities
Decide what matters most ā the venue, food, photography, or entertainment. Spend wisely on what means the most to you.
2ļøā£ Keep the Guest List Intimate
Fewer guests means lower catering and seating costs, but a more personal atmosphere.
3ļøā£ Choose Off-Peak or Mid-Week Dates
Getting married during the off-season or on a weekday can save thousands on venue hire.
4ļøā£ Embrace DIY Touches
Handmade dƩcor, stationery, or favours add personality while saving money.
