In this PPT we have discuss about many ways to cut off your wedding budget and save money.

1. How to Plan a Small Wedding

2. A small wedding has a different feel than a big
wedding. It's closer and more intimate, and it allows
you to spend quality time with the people that matter
the most. However, you should not make the
assumption that a small wedding is any easier to plan
than a large one. Whether trying to avoid lavish
spending or planning a smaller guest list, planning a
small wedding is no easier than planning a big one.

4. Think About The Benefits Of A Small
Wedding
 Having less guests does not make your celebration any
less meaningful. On the contrary, it gives you more
time to spend with people that matter to you and your
partner. Having fewer people will make your day less
stressful, allowing you to focus on what really matters -
- loving and committing to your partner. Other
benefits of small weddings include:
 Time to talk to guests beyond a simple "hello."
 A chance to involve more people in the events.
 Less expensive reception and ceremony.
 A more intimate, close-knit event.

6. Set A Budget For Your Wedding In
Advance
 You will not have a small wedding if you don’t establish
what “small” is. Sit down with your spouse and wedding
planner and decide on a concrete amount that you are
willing to spend. You can then keep this number in mind as
you begin purchasing things for the wedding.
 If you don't have a budget in mind it becomes much easier
to spend thousands more than you expected. Choose a
number and stick to it.
 In the United States the average wedding costs $25,000.
That said, the majority of American couples spend $10,000
or less on a wedding.

8. Cut Out What Isn't Important To You
 A small wedding is about trimming excess and getting rid
of things you don't really need. Holding your wedding in
your hometown instead of at a big destination means most
people can come straight from their house. Don't like
flowers? Substitute pictures of you and your spouse for the
centerpiece. Look at the above list and ask yourself what is
really essential. What can you make yourself? What can
you limit or cut back?
 Once you've started to trim down your wedding, make
estimates about the cost of each thing you still want and
compare them to your budget.
 Remember that a small wedding is often more intimate,
giving you time to be with the guests that matter instead of
bouncing around to 100 people or more.

10. Reserve your venue well in advance
 The sooner you start booking places for the wedding the
better your chances are you'll find the perfect spot. Many
popular wedding destinations, like churches and parks,
book up between 9-12 months in advance, so you need to
be quick if you are heart-set on a spot. That said, small
weddings thrive at unique, off-beat, and smaller locations,
so don't limit yourself to the "classic" wedding spots. Call
around town and ask about:
 You town park.
 The beach.
 A friends' backyard.
 A local farm, bed and breakfast, or ranch.
 Museums, the historical society, or state parks.

12. Ask About The Cost Of food Per Person If You Are Using
A Catering Company
 Food costs vary wildly, but more often than not they
are calculated by the number of guests. You will be
asked to supply a guest list to the catering company,
which will then return to you with the total cost. More
food, of course, costs more, but the variability amongst
different caterers will be stunning.
 A small wedding in Minnesota might cost $25 per
person whereas a Manhattan wedding might cost over
$150 a person. Know your cost before committing to a
caterer.

14. Think about a buffet for a simpler
wedding meal
 Don't feel like you need to offer a handcrafted, 5-star
meal to make your wedding memorable. Having
servers drastically increases the cost of your food, and
most people won't mind getting up to chose their food
themselves. Skipping servers and a wait staff will keep
your wedding small and on a budget.
