2. Cut Down Your Guest List Like Your Life Depends On It
Inviting too many people to your wedding day can double (or even triple or quadruple) your costs. Why would you want to pay for people that you haven’t seen for years and probably won’t see ever again?
Start cutting down that list like your life depends on it! Aim to only have your close friends and family there on the day. Don’t worry about inviting extended family, work colleagues, or anybody else.
3. Look For Free Wedding Invitation Templates
Your wedding invitations can set the tone for the day, but that doesn’t mean they have to cost you a fortune either. You could make them yourself, although that will likely take a long time. Instead, why not look for free wedding invitation templates? You can find some pretty templates and have them inexpensively printed, instead of worrying about forking over for pricy invitations.

4. Avoid Old Fashioned Traditions
Some couples find that getting rid of some of the older traditions helps them to save a fortune, too. For example, things like favors, champagne toast, and even a wedding cake. You don’t have to have them, and there are far cheaper alternatives, such as doing cupcakes and bite sized desserts.
Use your imagination!
5. Be Smart About Your Wedding Outfits
Wedding outfits should look amazing, but again, that doesn’t mean you have to spend thousands. Look at high street wedding dresses, and you might be surprised at some of the beautiful options you see. You could also let your bridesmaids wear dresses they already own, or buy their own and mix them up, Sex and The City Style. There are no hard and fast rules that must be adhered to, and this is your big day, so make sure you do what you’re comfortable with.
There you have it: 5 money saving tips you can do to immediately save a fortune on your wedding day. You will still have a wonderful time with the people you love, but you’ll have some money in the bank after it’s all said and done too!
