Cheap Wedding Ideas for Small Weddings

9 May 2019 Weddings

Utilizing cheap wedding ideas for small weddings can be a great way to cut down on costs and stress. At InStyle Floor Wraps, they want to help you get the wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank. That is why their team has put together a list of some simple cheap wedding ideas that are perfect for small weddings.

1. Get Married in the Off-Season

While summer is the most popular time of year for weddings because the weather is nice and it tends to be a more convenient time for families to attend, consider having your wedding in an off-season month, such as November or January, to cut down on costs. If you have your heart set on getting married in the summer, then you can still cut down on costs by not having your wedding on a Saturday. Having your wedding on a Friday or a Sunday could potentially save you 50%.

2. Consider Using a Non-Traditional Venue

When it comes to booking a venue for your wedding, do not be afraid to get a little creative. Consider using a bed and breakfast, a public park, or an art gallery for your reception. Places that do not usually host weddings may be cheaper to book with than places that are well-known for being wedding venues.

3. Ask if You Can Get a Discount for Paying in Full

Most venues will require you to provide them with a down payment when you book with them for your wedding, allowing you to pay the rest later. Consider asking if you can get a discount if you pay the full amount when you book; however, make sure that you get a contract with a reimbursement plan to protect yourself in case something goes wrong.

4. Consider Having a Small Reception

One of the most affordable options for small weddings is to keep the wedding and reception to about 50 people or less. Having a smaller guest list can save you a lot of money. Plus, you can always have a casual party later on to celebrate with the rest of your friends and family.

5. Shorten the Reception

Since some venues charge by the hour, shortening the reception by one or two hours can help cut down on costs. Chances are that no one will even notice the shortened reception since most guests tend to leave receptions early. Shortening the reception can also help you save money in other areas, such as with the photographer, DJ, or band.
