Your wedding is probably the biggest party you\u2019ll ever throw (except maybe for your silver or gold anniversary!). You want it to be perfect, of course \u2013 but smart couples also don\u2019t want to break the bank. At Birkat Elyon<\/a>, we\u2019ve worked with hundreds of couples, providing them with dazzling, high-quality (and affordable) cubic zirconia wedding rings<\/a>. Being part of the \u201cbridal business\u201d for all these years, we\u2019ve picked up some helpful tips on how to save money and still have a memorable ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KEEP THE GUEST LIST SMALL-ISH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we know this can be a tough one. But trimming your\nguest list is the simplest way to keep costs under control, from the catering\nto invitations to the size of the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SINGLE PAGE INVITES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll save on postage by using smaller, flat single-page invitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AVOID SATURDAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday is THE most popular day for a wedding reception and\nthe competition for venues is fierce \u2013 thus, more expensive. Consider a Friday\nor a Sunday \u2013 or any other day, for that matter. It may be a little less\nconvenient for some guests, but you\u2019ll save big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DO A COCKTAIL HOUR RECEPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More brides are finding that a longer cocktail hour reception\nwith passed appetizers goes over better than a sit-down dinner. And the added\nsavings makes it even more delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SIMPLIFY THE BAR MENU<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cash bar is tacky, but it\u2019s totally fine to limit what you offer. Beer and wine, with one or two signature cocktails, is simple, saves money, and keeps everyone in the party spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CHOOSE GREENERY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garlands of lush greens are popular right now. Draping them\nover the altar and your tables, etc. makes an elegant statement and is far less\nexpensive than using flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USE LOCAL, SEASONAL FLOWERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want something like tulips in December, you\u2019re gonna\npay a fortune. Instead, work with what\u2019s readily available. You can still have\ngorgeous (and fresher) floral accents, and the added \u201cgreen\u201d you\u2019re saving will\nmake them even more beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STICK TO ONE VENUE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having both your ceremony and reception in one place saves\nmoney on travel costs for vendors who typically charge by the hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ORDER A SMALL CAKE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a gorgeous cake with only one or two tiers for the all-important\n\u201ccutting of\u201d ceremony but supplement it with a large sheet cake hidden in the\nkitchen for your guests. Another note: the more complicated the embellishments\non your cake, the more expensive it will be. Keep it simple and elegant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
