How To Afford A Dream Wedding

Plan ahead. Most couples begin planning their wedding one year, or more, in advance. The general rule is that the more time you have, the better off you will be. The reason is because you will have more time to get your plans in order, the finances together and be able to plan the perfect honeymoon without feeling rushed.

Layaway your dress. The bride?s wedding gown is often one of the most expensive factors of a wedding, which means that some women are forced to go from wearing the gown of the dreams to one that they can learn to love. Some gowns are simply unaffordable, but others may be well within your budget if you are willing to get a little creative. You can place a bridal gown on layaway with many boutiques across America and it doesn?t matter whether they are local or not. You can order a gown from any state and have it shipped directly to your door by most bridal boutiques and, since most offer a layaway option, you can make affordable monthly payments toward the dress of your dreams. Pick a designer, choose a dress and find a boutique that carries the style with a layaway option.

Layaway your honeymoon. This sounds like a joke, right? Wrong. WalMart's website allows customers to reserve their stateroom on a cruise, choose an itinerary and even purchase travel insurance. The best thing about this option, however, is that you don?t have to pay for everything all at once thanks to a rare layaway option that allows you to make monthly payments toward your trip. A down payment is required to hold your reservation and stateroom selection which, followed by monthly payments, will make your honeymoon in the Bahamas, Hawaii or Disney?s own private island an affordable option.

Customize and order invitations online. Due to the number of competitors, the internet is the ideal place for discount pricing. You may live in a small town with only one or two printers, but what if you lived in a town with hundreds of printers? Do you think the pricing would be different if there were more competitors to compete for your business? Sure it would and the same rules apply to the internet, which offers you the option of customizing, previewing and ordering your wedding invitations at prices that should save you a bundle.

Create your own reception favors (i.e., bags or rice, kissing bells, bubble makers, etc.) with products from your local retailer?s craft section or purchase them from wholesalers, such as Oriental Trading Company. You can create your own bags of rice, tiny bottles of bubbles or even small bells that guests can ring whenever they would like to see the bride and groom share a kiss.
