budgets. Couples can save thousands of
dollars by hosting weeknight weddings
instead of weekend affairs. Book the
venue from Monday through Friday, as
even Sunday prices have escalated. The
further away from the weekend, the
lower the prices tend to be.
4. Fake the cake
The Knot indicates a wedding cake
runs roughly $530. Consider displaying
a mock cake for photos and then serve a
sheet cake during dessert hour. Decorat-
ing foam tiers to look like an extravagant
cake can save a few hundred dollars, and
guests won’t know the difference when
they’re biting into a delicious, less costly
dessert.
5. Skip the extras
Reception venues may upcharge for
all the little details, such as linens in
custom colors or chair covers. If you can
live without these extras, do so. Ask for
a list of itemized extras so you can assess
what you want to pay for and what you’d
prefer to avoid.
Wedding receptions are costly, but
there are many ways to save money and
still enjoy a memorable evening.
