1. Define the main points of wedding expenses.
Newcomers are advised to do more homework in the process of preparing for marriage. The point is not only to save money, but also that the more homework they do, the more money they spend! Because you will know more and more about what you want, what you don't like and what you can save. Generally speaking, the composition of the wedding expenses of the couple is roughly like this:
Wedding banquet 40%
Wedding service company 17%
Wedding service personnel 8% (four donkey kong)
Jewelry 10%
Wedding dress modeling 15%
Others (wedding supplies, wedding cars, red envelopes, tobacco, alcohol and sugar, etc.). ) 5%
Reserve fund 5%
Newcomers can get rid of some wedding expenses according to their own preferences and ideas.
For example, some new couples get rid of the bride-picking link and hold the wedding directly in the hotel, thus saving money on the wedding car.
Some newcomers don't care about the brand of wedding dresses, and go directly to the wedding dress street to buy them. The price is only three figures.
For example, some newcomers don't need the hotel's LED screen, which saves 8,000 yuan. ...
Wedding is not a pattern, there is nothing "necessary". As long as you feel that you don't care, it doesn't matter if you don't, you can pass it, not only saving money, but also spending the saved money on places you really care about.
2. Off-season banquet
To tell the truth, I saw at least five different weddings in my circle of friends during the May Day holiday. ...
Avoiding the peak of wedding banquets and choosing off-season banquets are important ways to save money!
The peak wedding season is usually around May. 10. At this time, both the hotel and the wedding team are in a super busy state (some people even booked May or 10 a year ago), and the price of the wedding banquet is also rising.
Wedding season: May, 10, holidays, Chinese New Year.
Off-season of wedding: 65438+ 10, March, July, August, 65438+February, Monday to Friday.
PS: The off-peak season in Sanya is the opposite.
PPS: There is not much difference between the hotel luncheon and the dinner on the same day (but in Sichuan and other places, the luncheon wedding needs two meals, which is slightly more expensive than the dinner, so it is cheaper to choose the dinner wedding).
In the off-season, the hotel will provide more discounts, advanced wedding packages and free additional services. For the same venue, the price difference between June 10 and the end of the year may be 20%!
Therefore, many newcomers choose to get married in the off-season, and the venue wedding banquet alone can save at least thousands of dollars!
3. Book early.
Zhang Ailing once said, "Be famous early." In fact, the wedding is also! Especially when booking hotels and four donkey kong!
Book the hotel early, on the one hand, to avoid being robbed of the day you want, on the other hand, the price of hotel wedding banquet is also rising year by year.
If you book a wedding banquet of 3000 yuan in advance, it will probably rise to 4000 yuan when you get married six months later, and you still only need to spend 3000 yuan (of course, this must be written in the contract).
Book four donkey kong before it's too late! The cost of good photography, video recording, makeup and hosting is really one price a year, and it is still rising. After the Spring Festival every year, they may introduce new prices.
For example, a bride booked a photographer at the end of 12, and the final wedding date was 14 ... because "you really don't know that these photographers and cameramen suddenly became very popular because of their works, and then the price naturally went up".
So, if you want to decide your favorite wedding team, just six words-compare more and do it quickly!
5.DIY dessert table
In addition to the exquisite fondant cake, you can also choose naked cake at the wedding.
The same cake is 10 inch, the price of fondant is in four figures, while the naked cake only costs 300~400 pieces. You can buy a few more, which can greatly meet the needs of guests for a variety of flavors.
In addition, you can have your own DIY dessert table. Besides making cookies and cupcakes by hand, you can also prepare various snacks and iced drinks. , saving money and relaxing and interesting ~
6. There are other ways to decorate besides flowers.
Wedding reception area, banquet area, photo area, table flowers, etc. Everyone needs flowers to decorate. There is no need to fly flowers from Nicky Wu by air in six special planes, so it is very cost-effective to choose local seasonal flowers.
Besides, ferns and green plants are cheaper than flowers. You can decorate the wedding scene with leafy plants or flowers.
Moreover, weddings are not always decorated with flowers. Creative KT boards and LED lights can bring great results!
7. Save unnecessary props process
Many wedding companies will recommend couples to take the moon boat. ...
A sand dumping ceremony will be held at the scene. ...
Whether it's lighting candlesticks, champagne towers or setting off fireworks on the spot, as long as you don't like it and don't think it's necessary, you can pass it!
Is it necessary to talk about these procedures separately? The point is that these programs need extra money. ...
Therefore, when choosing, we must be careful, careful, and then careful!
8. What is the real concept of saving money?
Everything is good except expensive things, and nothing is good except cheap things. Simply to save trouble, and give up the quality of the wedding, vulgar, tell the truth, it is better not to do it.
The concept of saving money is like this-you like the things in A, which are too expensive. You bought a bunch of cheap BCD, thinking that it can be used as a substitute, but you still want it in the end.
Therefore, within the range of personal acceptance, buying what you want most is the most economical way!
