Affordable weddings are becoming increasingly popular. Event planners and wedding experts were asked what they would skip to save money. Here are some of their suggestions on what not to splurge on…
- Personalized Wedding Favors: Items with the couple’s name, like beer koozies, are often unused by guests.
- Real Flowers: Opt for fake flowers, which have improved in quality. Use real flowers only for the bouquet.
- Champagne for Every Table: Many guests don’t drink it, leading to waste. Let guests toast with their own drinks.
- Expensive Cake: Consider cheaper alternatives like cupcakes or donuts.
- Liquor: A beer-and-wine bar is more cost-effective and helps prevent guests from getting too drunk.
- Personalized Cocktail Napkins: Guests don’t notice them. Regular napkins are sufficient.
- Elaborate Centerpieces: Most guests don’t remember them, so simpler options are fine.
