HOW TO SAVE MONEY AT YOUR INDIAN WEDDING?

Indian weddings can be a colossal way to drain your wallet if not mapped out correctly. Everyone wants a dream wedding, but going bankrupt after the event surely isn’t their aim. Indian weddings extend over a period of three days and are packed with numerous traditional and cultural ceremonies, a vast food menu and uncountable guests. Therefore, instead of going all out on your wedding party, choose cost efficient methods to save some money and still have an extravagant and heavenly wedding!

CUT DOWN ON THE EXTENDED FAMILY: – Invite only your close relatives and not the extended families. For instance, the in-laws of your best friend, the plus one’s of your relatives which included the members of their in-law’s extended family. This will surely save you some plates and money.

ONE VENUE: – It is a routine practice of Indians to choose different venues for various wedding ceremonies. This increases your transport cost and rent for the copious number of venues. In contrast to this, choose one unique venue and celebrate all the wedding events there. Decorate this venue exquisitely and still have some money saved for your honeymoon!

RELATIVES TO THE RESCUE: – Remember your distant cousin who has a lit playlist and consistently wanted to be a DJ? Ask him/her to pump up the wedding party for the eve. It will surely cost you less than a professional sound master. You can also consider seeking for the relative or friend who snaps decent pictures for the big day.

HOMELY VENUE: – One of the premier schemes to saving money on a venue is having your wedding at your own home. It might not sound appealing but with some dainty decoration, your home won’t be any less than a costly wedding venue. Now that you won’t have to pay any rent for the venue, you will be able to spend on other details of the wedding!

HIRE A WEDDING ORGANISER: – ‘Wedding planners are more costly’, it’s high time that we bust this myth now. Hiring a wedding organizer will relieve you from the wedding stress and allow you to have a gala time at your wedding. A genuine wedding organization will respect your budget and present to you a marvelous party within the funds.

RENT IT AWAY: – Craving to wear a stunning wedding dress and matching jewelry does not mean you have to buy it. Rent a jaw-dropping wedding dress and jewelry! Consider browsing some consignment or local stores for a flabbergasting deal.

GO OFF SEASON: – In India, the crucial months designated as the ‘wedding season’ are August, September and October. During this time, it becomes more costly to book venues, catering services and wedding planners. One often has to pay more to get the best deal. Therefore, ditch this time span and have a beautiful spring or summer wedding at a splendid destination.

How to Plan a Budget Destination Wedding?

It is the dream of many to organise a destination wedding for themselves that they will remember their whole lives. For the well-heeled section of our society, it is no big deal, all they have to do is to hire the services of the best wedding planners in India, tell them the location and their wish will turn into reality. However, if you have a limited budget, but have a dream of organising a destination wedding, then you should follow some of the tips that the best Indian wedding planners have shared with us on how to organise a destination wedding at a low price.

Tips to follow for organising a destination wedding in a limited budget

1). How much can you pay for the destination wedding: The first thing that you must do when you are planning a budget destination wedding is to fix your budget. This will give you a clear understanding of where you must draw the line when you are planning a wedding ceremony in any exotic location. While organising a destination wedding, you must be clear in your mind whether you wish to accommodate the travel and accommodation cost of your close family members or ask them to bear their own cost.

2). Keep the guest list small: When you are planning a destination wedding in a limited budget, then having a shorter guest list is very important. The more people you invite, your budget will expand proportionately. You have to spend for their transportation cost, hotel room cost, on their food and so on. Therefore, only invite those who are extremely close to you so that your wedding ceremony is a tiny intimate affair.

3). Choose your destination wisely: When you are planning for a destination wedding, then the first thing that will come into your mind is where and when. These two important points can have a huge impact on your budget. If you plan your destination wedding in a very popular tourist location, then you have to pay through your nose for the transportation cost, hiring of the marriage hall, hotel rooms as well as the food that you will serve for the marriage party. On the other hand, if you organise your wedding at some offbeat location, then your overall cost will come down sharply. Similarly, the timing of your wedding ceremony is also very important. If it coincides with the tourist season, when there is a huge demand for hotel rooms and transport vehicles, then your overall budget will expand and will be financially untenable for you. Therefore, try to organise your wedding ceremony during off tourist season.

4). Hire local vendors: When you are organising a wedding ceremony at some exotic location, then you should hire the local vendors. In every small city, you will find wedding vendors in India who can offer you the best deals when you hire the services. On the other hand, if you hire the services of your local vendors and ask them to supply the materials you need in another city where you are organising your wedding ceremony, then it will inflate your bill enormously.

5). Choose the best way to pay: When you are planning your destination wedding, then try to look for those hotels or airlines that are offering some discount or cashback rewards. In this way, you can cut some of the expenses.

If having a destination wedding is a big dream of yours, then we suggest that you should start saving quite early for this big event so that you do not have to cut too many corners and have a great destination wedding without facing financial hardship.
