It’s no secret that weddings cost a lot of money. Here are 11 easy ways to save money without sacrificing your wedding style. 1. Individual programs or menu cards look pretty, but you can save a bundle by providing this information on a pretty calligraphed sign. 2. Serve only beer and wine instead of offering a full bar. 3. Skip the champagne toast (or just have it for the head table). Your guests will be fine drinking what they have. 4. Some vendors offer discounts for a wedding on a weekday or during a non-peak month such as January or March. 5. You can save on catering by having a morning or early afternoon ceremony/reception. 6. Trim your guest list. You’ll save on food and beverages. And less people means less seating, which = less tables/chairs, centerpieces, and linens. 7. Offer a meatless entree. A veggie or pasta entree costs less than one with meat. 8. Have your ceremony and reception at the same venue. No need for a limo or party bus to transport the wedding party, and you’ll save on multiple site fees. 9. Omit favors, your guests won’t miss them. 10. Use more greenery and less flowers in your arrangements. 11. If your ceremony and reception are at the same location, have your DJ provide the music for both instead of
