If you are holding a large wedding, that is one with a lot of guests, the cost of wedding favours can be quite significant, if you do not set a strict budget. One immediate method you could employ to cut the cost of your wedding favours is to give one to each couple or single, rather than one to everybody who attends. The first judgment to take is how much can you afford in total and then divide that by the number of guests in total and then divide it by the number of couples and singles.

This method will make it easier for you to decide what you are going to do: buy for everybody; buy for couples and singles and keep the rest for something else or give to couples and singles but buy more elaborate gifts. If you still find that there is not a lot of money to go around, you will need to look for lower-priced wedding favours. I will give you a few thoughts below to get you going.

Today even planning a wedding requires a strict budget, but that does not mean that you have to compromise on the wedding reception of your dreams. The following tips will help you plan a budget-friendly wedding reception regardless of the reception.

One of the first things to do is book your wedding reception venue as early as possible. Shop around for the best prices. Check refund policies, down payments, and ask about any other fees.

If you have your wedding in an off season, such as winter, you will find the best price on everything including caterers, venues, and even honeymoon costs. If you get married on a weekday, instead of the weekend, you can also save on all wedding costs.

The costs of most wedding receptions are escalated because of the cost of alcohol. There are a few ways to handle this. You can eliminate alcohol altogether, have a beer and wine only bar, provide your own liquor instead of depending on the caterer, or consider having a cash bar. All of these options will save money on your reception.
