Wedding day is a special day in everyone’s life and in most of the females; it is something that remains in their imagination for most of the time. It symbolizes a newer milestone in your life, a joyous event, and the beginning of a new and exciting era for you. We all daydream about this beautiful moment to come along, and often forget how stressful it can be to plan an actual wedding.

The fact is, although planning a wedding ceremony or reception can be very exhausting involving many responsibilities to fulfill, a lot of work to do, and even a financial and emotional stress, yet a properly planned wedding can bring a day that everyone remembers and cherishes. Here are few simple tips, which can help you avoid most of the exhaustion and hassle that is usually associated with unplanned weddings or poorly planned weddings.


1. Early Planning: If you start to plan early, you can hire the best services in time. You can also search and compare the cheapest available options. In fact, there are many services, which require you to book early. There are some services that people book for months in advance, and if you do not plan early, you can have to skip the best ones. Therefore, act quickly. Doing a thorough search for the alternative options and properly investigating your service providers can save a lot of time too.

2. Keep record of everything: Start putting everything in writing when you start looking for the services and establishments. It will also serve as a contract with your service provider that you can get signed too to have the final commitment with a particular service provider. This will also serve as a proof of the final prices for any service that you ordered. 3. Keep track of your work: Just like doing your routine work, keep track of the wedding preparation too. Do not leave anything for the last minute. Completing smaller tasks earlier will help you ease your stress in the final moments.

4. Keep track of your expenses. Watching your budget with every purchase or planning will help you avoid going into debt, which is never a good idea. Try looking for alternative options that cost you less without compromising the quality. This is also possible with early planning only.

These tips might not be the helping you in becoming totally stress free from planning your wedding; nonetheless, they will surely help you in planning a smooth and hassle free wedding.

Tips for saving money on your wedding invitation:

Some of the very first things that you will list among those involving expenditure, are the wedding invitations apart from your wedding ring. On one hand you want your invitations to be unique, classy and of good quality, while on the other hand, you will probably also look to save as much money as possible on them. Well, everyone does that, so, here are some tips to manage your invitations in a way that you can afford them as well as impress your family and friends too.

1. First and foremost, keep your guest list as small as possible.

The more people you add to your invitation list, the more the number of invitations you are going to send, which in turn means more expenses. Therefore, take time to create a list of selected guests in order to have all your close relatives and friends included without offending anyone, and without compromising your budget. It is always better to pre-inform some of your close relatives and friends about your wedding, so that you can get a fair estimate of the number of people who will be able to make it to your wedding party. For those guests who will not be able to attend your wedding in time, you can send less expensive alternative invitations, so that they can keep a reminder of your special day. Keep in mind, the more the people you invite, the more the number of invitations you need to send them. The more the people attend your wedding, the more will be your expenses. There is nothing wrong in leaving few guests when you can have a private ceremony too. So, choose wisely, when it comes to preparing a guest list for sending invitations.

2. Opt for making your own invitations.

If you are creative enough or know exactly how your invitations should look like, you can opt for making your invitations on your own too. It also adds a personal touch to every invitation making them more special and unique. This way, you can save enough money too to spend it on other important things. You can always ask you friends and family members for a helping hand saving you more time for yourself and money on labor too. Another way to look for designs and help is to search online for unique wedding invitation templates and you can always follow them or get some inspiration from them.

3. Try using less paper and ink.

It is not necessary to have an invitation that should be two-three pages long, instead try keeping it as short and concise as possible without swaying away from your traditional invitation style so that it should look like a proper invitation too. It will also save you money and its conciseness will impart it a classy and sophisticated look. You can add you ring-ceremony or your fiancé photos as a backdrop to impart it a unique and personal look. Use single ink and keep the borders to minimum. The purpose is, to make those invitations look unique, tasteful, and interesting enough for your guests to attend the ceremony without costing you much. You can spend the saved money on some fabulous dress and a great party that your guests will be remembering until the end.

GREEN WEDDINGS

With the typical expenditure of a normal US wedding going at around $15,000 to $20,000, it’s evident that weddings leave a big footprint, both economically and also ecologically. It is a huge relief, therefore, when people in the wedding business announced that eco-friendly or “green” wedding has arrived. The interest in green weddings is blossoming from a desire to incorporate a few green elements, to making sure the entire celebration won’t contribute to the depletion of natural resources. Those less convinced will argue that global warming can’t be stop in a matter of a day, but certain choices made definitely can lessen the carbon footprint of the wedding.

Regardless of other choices made, the size of the wedding will be the biggest factor in the ecological and financial impact; each person invited means more miles traveled, more food consumed, a bigger venue, and more waste when it’s all over. Choosing a location that is as close to as many of your guests as possible will reduce your wedding’s impact in a big way. Try to provide as much information on transport options as possible, and let the guests know that you’d really appreciate it if they arrived by train, bus, bike, or at least by carpool. Better still, consider providing shuttle buses for out-of-town wedding; this way you don’t have to worry about drunk driving either. As for the invitation, there are an increasing number of suppliers of recycled, handmade, or tree-free invitations.

When looking to hire caterers, ask if they use organic products; nowadays more caterers are offering pesticide-free menus, fine china and linen napkins instead of throwaways. Foods, drinks and flowers are also worth sourcing locally. Even if you can’t establish the green credentials of every single supplier, you are already making a difference by asking questions about such issues. While a hemp suit may be a good eco-statement, you could be much better off with a traditional rental service if it is only going to be worn once. Web sites help newlyweds set up donations to charities that benefit the environment, so guests have an alternative to heavily wrapped presents.

Whatever you do to green your wedding, make sure you tell people about it. Take advantage of having your friends and family gathered in one place to do a little friendly education. Tell them about yourselves and about what is important to you. If you can create a wonderful, magical celebration that treads a little lighter on the planet, then people will remember it. Too many folks still believe environmentalism is all doom and gloom; this is the perfect opportunity to prove them wrong!

Anything you do to make your wedding a little more modest, from wearing a borrowed wedding dress to choosing recycled paper or a website for your invitations, will lower its contribution to carbon emissions. Consider it your wedding gift to the planet.
