101 Ways to Save on Your Wedding: 1-25
——————————————————
26. Sew your own veil with tulle from the fabric store
27. Create your own hairpiece from silk flowers and feathers from the craft store
28. Send postcards as Save the Dates and save on postage and paper costs
29. Avoid letterpress printing for your invitations. Although it might be one of the nicest printing methods, it’s also one of the priciest.
30. Use construction paper as one element of your DIY invitations. It will add lots of texture, with only a little expense
31. Avoid hiring a calligrapher and use a computerized script font instead
32. Limit the number of pieces in your invitation suite and save on postage, since it’s based on weight
33. Use flowers that are locally grown and in-season and avoid the cost of flying them in during the off-season
34. Use a storage or organization box or basket for your card box that you can re-use in your home after the wedding for storage
35. Befriend someone in the event planning industry. They often have access to discounts to wholesalers and rental vendors
36. Do your own makeup, hair and/or nails
37. Have your hair, makeup and nails done at a cosmetology school like Aveda. The cost is lower and the results are usually just as good
38. Design your invitations yourself and have them printed by a company like gotprint.com. Once you get them, add a little interest yourself either with embossing or a similar technique
39. Serve cupcakes instead of cake. Cupcakes are often cheaper and can help you avoid a cake cutting fee that most caterers will charge
40. Depending on your décor, you may be able to find some things at a site like Oriental Trading Company. While most of the items aren’t necessarily for a wedding, you might find a diamond in the rough
41. Watch sites like craigslist.com and freecycle.org for free and inexpensive items that people are just looking to get rid of.
42. Repurpose mason jars as candleholders
43. Shop the brick and mortar outlet versions of your favorite stores like Crate and Barrel, Pier 1, and Pottery Barn
44. Get your wedding shoes from the clearance section. This is easiest to do when they’re off-season, but make sure you check the clearance area often as the selection often dwindles quickly
45. Support local business. They are often more flexible and willing to work with you to achieve your goals
46. Barter services. If you happen to be a talented computer progammer, offer to create or update a website for a vendor in return for their services
47. Let vendors know when you’re dissatisfied. They’re often willing to accommodate you and knockdown the cost, rather than risk a bad review or unhappy client
48. Look for your honeymoon travel on sites like priceline.com, cheapcaribbean.com, travelzoo.com, and farecast.com
49. Travel during the offseason for your honeymoon, even if it’s months after your wedding. Rates will be cheaper on airfare and your hotel
50. Dafont.com and 1001freefonts.com offer a range of free fonts that you can use for your invitations and any other paper projects
