•Save Money on Drinks and
Beverages: In order to have a
lavish wedding people tend to have
alcoholic party. In case you are also
planning for one then do not go for
open bar instead limit the number of
drinks. Also, if possible avoid
alcoholic parties and go for non-
alcoholic ones in which you can
serve mochas and fruit smoothies.
These are very much cheaper as
well as better than alcohol.

know what that means, family style
serving or catering is a method of
having food in which an entire table
orders food as a single group and
the food is passed around just as
that at home. This will definitely
save in some bucks as one single
big piece of chicken will be much
less costly than ten different plates.

dishes that are not made in a

of the same in summer is sure to
cost you more.

Cakes: Although having a lavish
seven tiered wedding cake will look
great, but try to avoid it in case you
are running on a tight budget.

•Save Money on Desserts: Instead
of serving 4 to 5 desserts limit the
quantity to one or to the max two.
Also, instead of going for a dessert
that will cost you thousands go for
mini desserts such as brownies,
Sweets etc.
•Try to Organise Your Reception
during Day: This is only in case
you are running on a tight budget.
As compared to a full-fledged
dinner, lunch and breakfast are
going to cost you much less.
