It is a rough time to be falling in love. With the economy failing dating, engagements, and weddings have all got to be reinvestigated. You have to find creative solutions to everything, but worst of all you need to save money on your special day without looking cheap. Well, it is possible; there are plenty of ways to save money on your wedding. Who knows maybe 2010 will mark the end to the $20,000 wedding.

First of all decide who is the most important to you and you fianc. Those are the people you invite. It doesnt matter who is important to you mother, cousin, or cousins bestfriends roommate. This wedding is for you two. Limiting your guest list is the best way to give you more bang for your buck. It is also a good way to spend more on the important stuff, like food and your honeymoon.

Get help for where you need it, and dont for where you dont. You will need help with setting up the reception site, unless you can do it the night before. You can hire planners and their team to come and set it up for you, so your friends and family can simply enjoy their day with you. If you are really crafty there are ways around paying florists for full service. Rethink centerpieces and try to find an idea that doesnt revolve around 900 different types of flowers. For your favors, you can opt to make them yourself. There are hundreds of ideas available online.

Finally, be reasonable. If you cant afford a very expensive wedding you arent alone. Caterers and other vendors might scoff at your meager budget, but that is because they think you are holding out on them. The smaller budgets are more common that you would think. Take a deep breath, calm down, and love every part of this! You are getting married!
