How to Have a Beautiful Cheap Wedding
Getting married is undoubtedly the most important event in anybody’s life, and no one can ever forget their wedding day. However, that celebration and festivity comes at a hefty price, and having a decent budget chalked out before you arrange a wedding is necessary.
The event requires you to spend on several things like food, dresses, entertainment etc. If you are on a tight budget, you might think you need to skip all these things just to save some money. However, a tight budget does not mean you should give up any hope of having a good wedding. The key is to plan everything carefully, to make this a memorable day even if you cannot spend too much. A couple of simple tips can help you plan for an economical yet beautiful wedding function.

How much you can spend:
The first and foremost thing you should do is know your budget. There is no doubt that everybody wants to make this event memorable by throwing an impressive party. However, it is important to keep from getting carried away; draw a line and spare a specific amount to make the required arrangements. An estimation of expenditures can help you in finalising the budget for this wedding. -

Decide the guests:
The next important thing is to decide the number of guests. As you want to save money, do not invite every single person you know or have ever met. Just make it a family gathering and invite a few close friends. More people mean more arrangements, and ultimately it will be a burden on your pocket. Make a guest list while keeping your budget and the venue of the function in mind. -

Select a venue:
Though you can arrange this function anywhere, the best venue for a budget-friendly wedding is the backyard or lawn of your house (or your parents' house, if your backyard isn't big enough). Do not worry; the simplicity and small scale of this function will not lessen the impact. Rather, it will make your guests feel that they are important in your life. You can decorate the venue by selecting a theme from internet. There are many websites that can help you in decorating the place on a budget. -

Decide the menu:
Remember, food is one of the most important things you need to consider on your wedding day. Draw up your own menu, selecting dishes that are delicious and economical at the same time - if possible, cook the food at home (ask friends and relatives to help) rather than hiring a catering service. This way, you will be able to save money while entertaining your guests with great food at the same time. -

Seek help from friends to make arrangements:
Though you can hire an event manager to make all the arrangements, involving friends in this process can be a great way to save money and have a beautiful cheap wedding. Request their help in decorating the venue, preparing and serving food, and arranging music etc.
