Part Two – Seven Things to Cut From Your Wedding & Save Your Budget
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009Ready for some more ideas on how to cut frivolous stuff from your wedding? Here’s part two!
2. Most Guest Favours – Who wants a 2×3 picture frame or a pair of candles shaped like a heart? How about a keychain with your names and wedding date engraved on it? Really anything with your names and wedding date on it will be pretty much not be appreciated. Think about all the time you spend planning, and then, the money these little ‘gifts’ end up costing you to buy and often assemble, only be let on the table for the hotel staff to…yes, throw out. If you want to give your guests a small token of thanks, make sure its something that they will like and notice. And if you can’t think of anything that would fit that bill, then make a donation in each of your guest’s names to a charity that is close to your heart. Then just leave a small card at each place setting informing them of this donation. And no, you should not tell them how much you donated.

Seven Things to Cut From Your Wedding & Save Your Budget
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009Each week, over the next few weeks I will give you my take on things that many couple provide/do at their wedding that will completely be either unnecessary, unappreciated or not even noticed.
1. The Fancy Cake Cutting Knife and Serving Set – Forget these. No one but your mom and maybe the caterer will even see these. ‘But what about in the pictures?’ you ask. Well considering that the picture will be taken as you cut the cake, you won’t even see it. Either your hand will cover them as you cut or they will be covering in icing from the cake. You caterer should have a decent set. Go with theirs. They’re free!
Stay tuned for more ideas next week! And feel free to share your ideas of the unnecessary, unappreciated or unnoticed…
Good luck and happy wedding planning!
