Getweded Magazine, April 2019 | 65 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! 4 3 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.
