There's no doubt about it, weddings can be expensive and as the average cost of a wedding today is 20 to 25 thousand dollars; the wedding industry is estimated at 25.3 billion dollars per year. However, it is possible to plan a cheap wedding if you cannot manage something that requires expensive stationery, photographers, caterers and dresses. All you need is few ideas to point you in the right direction and you can have a wedding to be proud of at a fraction of the cost.

Firstly, do you really need a hand-made wedding dress with beads and diamantes because this is where the big cost is and there are several options open to cutting the cost so why not opt for a second-hand wedding dress? Men do not feel uncomfortable hiring a tuxedo for the day so why should a woman feel badly about buying a quality wedding dress for a fraction of the cost or hiring one herself?

Of course it is planning the cheap wedding reception where the real savings can be made and with an average of just under two hundred guests attending every wedding reception it is easy to see how you can reduced the financial outlay. Firstly is don't invite everyone you know, in particular relatives you may not have seen since you were a child and as far as the meal is concerned why opt for a buffet instead of a full three course meal. Other reductions can be made in where the wedding reception is held which can easily be in a friend's house or a local club and to save money on drink, why not only supply beer, wine, soft drinks and bottled water.

The obvious choice is to shop around for the best rates, but consider hiring a photographer for the ceremony only and ask a family member or friend to take snap photos of the reception. Although you may not like the idea, there is no reason why you couldn't have all the wedding day photos taken by your guests and you will find yourself saving many hundreds of dollars.

Other areas where you can be assured of saving money for your cheap wedding is on things like wedding invitations and place settings for example which can easily be produced to a very high standard on a home computer. With the quality of printers available now and the sophistication of the programs it is not surprising that very professional looking results can be achieved at home.

Cost cutting measures can also be found in the area of flowers which can be bout in large quantities fro the wholesalers or even from your own garden if you have the capacity. If you have one of your friends make the wedding cake and reduce the number of tiers and buy your own wedding favors (candy is best) then you will save money here as well. Your cheap wedding planning should also include asking a friend if their car can be used to take you to the ceremony so saving more money which you should be able to put towards something that you need for your home.
