Planning a wedding can be an extremely stressful and costly endeavor. Weddings generate billions of dollars each year in revenue, with the average wedding costing over $20,000. But a wedding doesn?t have to be expensive to provide a wonderful experience. You can still have your dream wedding at a fraction of the cost. There are many ways to make your wedding less stressful on your finances so that you and your future spouse have more money to spend on things to start your lives together. Here are a few suggestions on how to cuts costs and still have a beautiful wedding.

General

Set a Budget: The first step to keeping your wedding spending under control is to create a budget. Decide how much you can spend and don?t overspend, not even for the delightful themed extras. A few dollars here and there can add up over time.
Prioritize Spending: There are some things that might be more important to you and your finance/e than others. Prioritize to spend more on things to truly matter to you and cut costs on things that aren?t as important.

Keep It Simple: One way to save money and your sanity is to simplify your wedding. Sometimes less really is more. Do you really need every one of those five-course dinners to enjoy your special day?

Give Yourself Time: By giving yourself ample time to plan, you won?t feel rushed at the last minute and forced into using services and products that are more expensive. By having more time you?ll be able to shop around for the best deals, and not get stuck with what?s available at the last minute. Plus, if you have a credit card that accumulates airline miles or points for travel, you?ll have time to use this card so you can use the rewards to cut prices on your honeymoon travel.

Clothing

Shop Second Hand: If you?re not dead set on having a new dress, you can often find great dresses at consignment shops, on eBay, or in the classifieds. These dresses, in all but the most extraordinary cases, have only been worn once and a second-hand dress can provide a great money saving alternative. Or, if you?re looking for something more meaningful, ask a family member if they have a dress you can wear. It will be sentimental and help you save some money.

Rent Your Dress: For those who aren?t hung up on keeping their wedding dress for future generations, renting can also be an option.

Consider Evening Gowns: Who says a wedding dress has to be one that was made especially for that purpose? Often an evening gown purchased off the rack in a department store (especially on sale!) can be just as elegant and considerably less expensive.

Shop for Samples: It?s commonplace for bridal shops to have sales to clear out their remaining stock of each year?s wedding dresses in a sample sale. Get out your phone book and call your local bridal shops to see if and when they hold sales. It might take a little more planning, but you can get great deals on designer dresses this way.

Singapore’s wedding favors are really dull and the common ones that you see are either pastries or bears with keychains.

I wonder how many years have the hotels been using them. I remembered the styles of the wedding favors have not really changed in the Singapore’s wedding arena.

Even if wedding couples don’t like them, they have no choice but to keep within their budget and choose the least worst out of the choices hotels give.

I have been browsing through reputable websites such Amazon.com and found some really interesting wedding favors. You know as well as I know is that the first thing guests see on their tables are the wedding favors and the quality and uniqueness of it set the mood they have for the rest of the wedding night.

Interestingly, guests such as relatives and real friends do not judge the quality of your wedding. They really want to bring their blessings.

These are some wedding favors I got and hope they can give you a better idea of what kind of the wedding favors to get for your perfect wedding.

Do you know what to get for your wedding? I’m sure you may be already overwhelmed by the endless list of wedding items you need to get them, not forgetting you still have an endless list of things to do.

As for me, I even forgot about getting my Ang Pow Box till the week before my wedding. There are just too many things on my mind.

I will be doing a few posts on the wedding items wedding couples need to get or make.

Yes, some wedding couples I know make their very own wedding items.

For me, I had to learnt what are the things to do-it-yourself or buy. If you are talking about the wedding items in large quantity, please spend some money to get them. Imagine having already spent a few thousands of dollars on your honey moon trip, wedding gows and photohsoot, what is another tens of dollars for a nicer wedding item say wedding favors or an ang pow box and the ring pillow?

Here are first 5 items you need for your wedding:

Flower basket:
Do you have flower girls to sprinkle rose petals as you are walking down the aisle with your dear one? These flower girls need a flower basket to put their flowers. I know some brides actually knitted the baskets themselves. Yes, you can do it only if you have time.

Corsages:
Just in case you do not know what a corsage is, it is a flower accessory tied around the wrist of bridesmaids during wedding. Please get corsages that suit your wedding theme and let your bridesmaids know the color theme too. A color contrast of the flowers and the dresses could make the bridesmaids feel awkward.
