I think weddings should not be expensive. The couple can use the money they saved for future use, like a downpayment for a house or for purchasing furniture and appliances. Thank you for your tips. A lot of couples will find a lot of information they need here.

When I was younger, all I ever wanted is a grand wedding. Now that I’m a bit older and wiser (I’d like to believe so), practicality is of utmost priority. We should prepare for the marriage, not for the wedding. 🙂

I admire couples who are able to plan weddings on their own and even have time to do all the decoration themselves. Really, it’s amazing. Thanks for the list, this will come in handy for family and friends.

I think it’s ridiculous the amount of money couples spend on weddings. They could purchase their first home!

Making the decorative items can be fun too. I think cutting costs when you can and doing it with eco-friendly items is a huge win-win all the way around.

These are wonderful ideas. With my second marriage, we were extremely frugal. I made every single thing except the cake.
