The Perfect Cheap Wedding Reception

Ok...When it comes to planning a cheap wedding reception you've got to take your time and be careful!

The wedding reception/venue is an area where costs can get away from you. There are a lot of things to consider and quite a few potential hidden costs to be aware of.

First you will need to narrow down all the wedding venues to the right one for you and your budget. You will also need know the best questions to ask before you confirm your booking.

You shouldn't underestimate the importance of choosing the right venue. Your choice will affect everything, how your pictures look, the number of guests you can invite, how you're going to decorate it etc. etc. Not to mention how and where your guests will park their cars. (Well, I did warn you there were a lot of things to consider, but don’t worry that’s what I’m here for).

Depending on your budget, some of these options may or may not fit, but rest assured there is an option to suit everyone. There are hundreds of different cheap wedding reception ideas to choose from.

1. Very tight budget - If you are really having to watch the pennies you may wish to consider the most straight forward and simplest of options and get married at your local registry office or go to Gretna Green. Don't knock it; this method is very quick, simple and cheap. Plus it will leave a lot of the wedding budget left over for honeymoon or a big party for your guests.

2. Marquee or Tent - you could still save on the venue by having a civil service or small church wedding and then have a marquee or tent in the garden. The beauty of having a tent or marquee is you can have all your friends round a day or two before and have a decorating party with a few drinks, which will get everyone in the partying mood. But beware; you will need to consider the possibility that it may be wet on the day. So you need to consider the flooring. Not just in the tent but leading into the tent and to the toilets etc.

3. Package Deal - This is a one stop shop method where you book the entire wedding with a venue as a package and they arrange everything, from music to flowers and photographs etc. It’s usually quite a bit cheaper, but you may have a limited choice of suppliers and dates. It does however enable you to have a cheap wedding reception that looks more expensive than it actually is.

4. Marry Abroad - with this method you can roll the wedding into the honeymoon and save money on the venue. The list of options is pretty much endless, Caribbean weddings to cheap Vegas weddings or why not have a beach wedding.

5. Cruise Wedding - this also takes advantage of rolling the wedding into the honeymoon by booking a cruise wedding. Plus you can spend the rest of the honeymoon with your nearest and dearest.

If you are a Christian bride and would like some tips and pointers for saving money on a specific Christian wedding theme check out Juanita’s site.
