KNOW YOUR FIGURES
You may think you want to
achieve a wedding-on-a-
budget but you don't actually
have a 'figure' for your
wedding items on the top of
your head or written in your
planner or journal. Knowing
your budget for each item
would help you negotiate
when interacting with vendors;
and it's not a bad idea to get a
quote lower than your budget-
you could use the money
towards other things like your
honeymoon!

USE A GUEST LIST, BE STRICT
WITH IT AND COLLECT RSVPS
Yes, you might be tempted to
send invites to everyone you
know, old and new friends and
maybe even acquaintances! But
that isn't always a great idea
when you are trying to save
money on your wedding. Create
a minimal guest list and ask them
to RSVP; so that you can know
who is coming. Bear in mind that
with each guest you add on your
list, you're adding extra costs
while also making your wedding
less intimate.
