Planning a Low budget wedding


Planning a wedding isn't an easy task, it isn't surprising that many intending couples prefer hiring a wedding planner which is actually cost intensive, but I will be sharing simple tips on how to plan a wedding on a low budget and leave your guests speechless.

The first thing to do is to define your budget. How much you will be spending for the wedding, and what takes what on the budget list. If you aren't so sure of the actual amount then there is need to work with a range.

Next thing is to have a To do list and prioritize each and every item in an ascending order, this makes it easier in knowing what is of utmost important to you and what is less important. This should be well documented.

It is also imortant you keep the guest list small, involve both parents and give them reasons while this will be done so that you don't end up having guests that won't be catered for. This way you can plan for your guests and easily determine how many guests you want to cater for. Don't be alarmed if there are some gatecrashers. You can't actually stop this from happening, this can be achieved by allowing guests strictly by their invitation card or fixing the wedding date on a week day.

For the hall, book a low cost venue, one that requires minimal decoration or a beautiful outdoor venue with beautiful natural scenery. if you have a good space at your parent's house, you can as well use that, just ensure decoration is beautifully done on a low budget too.



Be honest with friends tell them you aren't doing anything big so they don't come along with friends that will come with friends too.

I sure know its important to look your best on your big day. You can get a very beautiful gown or suit sewn
 just for you at a very affordable price or you can rent a wedding gown, remember we are keeping it low.


What's a wedding without good food? Getting caterers might be on the high side, but you can actually get a good caterer for a good price or get 'olopo's (they are women who cook for parties), most times caterers engage their services, so it makes it cheaper if you can contact them directly, this means you need to make other arrangement for service boys and serving dishes. You surely can weigh both options and do what is cheaper for you.

Kindly drop your tips too in the comment section. I would love to read from you.
