Share
The dream of a wedding party can turn into days of great anxiety for the couple who don't want to spend a lot, but don't want to give up on realizing their dream of celebrating love .
And there's no need to stop living in the moment, as long as you follow some precious tips to throw a simple but beautiful wedding party !
First of all, you need to know: the fewer guests, the less expenses. So, think carefully about who you are going to invite.
So, are we going to have five days to have a wedding party without breaking the bank?
- Planning
Throwing a cheap party in just a few months will be very difficult. So, the first tip is to prepare for at least a year or more.
This will allow you to save money, pay for more things upfront (with a discount) and take advantage of many promotions for a long period of time. Ideally, you should walk down the aisle with everything paid for.
Have a good conversation with your loved one about your marriage priorities and define what is essential to have and what is completely dispensable.
Consider hiring a consultant. You may be doing this for the first time, but they already know everything and will have some great tips.
- Choosing the place
If your dream is to get married in a church , look for less famous, smaller ones.
In addition to being cheaper, they can also make your wedding much more charming if you have few guests.
One tip is to choose a place where you can celebrate the ceremony and the party in the same environment.
And you can even get married for free! In some public park, at home, at your uncle's farm...
Also remember that the simpler the place, the simpler the decoration can be.
Another important point is to ensure a less popular date: Saturday nights are very popular.
- Who to invite
The more guests, the more expenses. It's not an easy calculation, but it's a fact. On average, a buffet currently charges around R$150 per person.
So, the tip is to choose who to invite carefully. Have you spoken to this person in the last six months? If this person invited you to dinner next week, would you really go?
Think about these and other important points when inviting someone for what could be the most important day of your life.
- What to serve
Well, what to serve these special people? The tip here is to do a lot of research! In general, if you book the buffet and the venue in the same place, you end up getting a discount.
But if you are getting married in another venue, try a simple menu, with “starter” style meals.
Smaller, taller cakes tend to cost less. And you can go all out with a dessert table.
When it comes to drinks, avoid spirits, as they are much more expensive. Invest in three items that you can't go wrong with: beer, wine and a drink like a caipirinha.
- Sustainability
Have you ever thought about renovating your mother's wedding dress? Or using your grandmother's classic furniture for the ceremony?
In addition to representing the family at the ceremony, this can generate a lot of savings and you will still be able to use it later.
Make the most of “ do it yourself ” ideas, such as decorative items, souvenirs, bouquets and accessories for the bridesmaids. There are lots of great tutorials on the internet!
For invitations: everything is online. Printed invitations are beautiful, but almost no one keeps them.
In addition to spending less, you will generate much less waste with your party, spending on what really matters to make your dream party!
