3 Ways to Save Money on Your Wedding Photos

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Wedding photography is something you must consider when you are planning for your wedding. However, you may also know that the cost of it can be quite hight. It is not surprise to know that there are some couples who spend nearly $3000 on the wedding photography.

If you have enough budget, the above amount may not be a problem to you. However, due to the recently credit crunch, couples would probably want to save some money on the wedding. It is always a good idea to keep some money in your pocket. As a result, you will want to learn some ways to save money on your wedding photos. As a matter of fact, it is not really difficult to do so. Here are some of the ways for you to save money.

Ask Your Friends to Help

One of the ways to save money is to ask your friends to help you to take the wedding photos. However, you do not just ask a friend for the help. You have to ask a friend who can take good photos. Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life. You will still want to have some good wedding photos even if you want to save money.

If it is possible, you should ask at least two friends to help. This will help to make sure that you will be at least getting a set of wedding photos. The point here is that the camera of your friend can be broken on your wedding day. There are sometimes accidents. If you have asked two friends to help, you can still get the photos from the other friend in the case that the camera of one of your friend is broken.

Take digital photos

You will be able to save quite some money if you take digital photos instead of taking photos with films. This is because you will need to spend a lot of money on developing and printing of the photos. However, when digital cameras are used, you do not need to develop the films. Besides, you can take a look at the photos on the computer before you decide you print them. This will help you to save a lot of money.

If you do not want to print the photos, you can save all the digital files in a DVD. In this case you will be able to get a copy of your photos. And of course you will save a lot since you do not need to print the photos. To this end it is also more environmental friendly. And it will also be more convenient for you to share the photos with your friends because you do not need to scan the photos to the computer. You can just upload the files from the DVD to your website. This will save you a lot of time.

Ask the guests to bring their digital cameras

You can ask your guests to bring along with their digital cameras. Your guests can just use the cameras to take photos. In this case the guests are actually helping you to take the photos. Of course you will need to ask them to send you back the photos. But it will not be very difficult since the guests are taking digital photos.

7 Ways to Save on Wedding Cakes

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Your wedding cake…the ultimate wedding reception centerpiece. It should be eye-catching and fabulous. (tasty too!) And just like every other aspect of your wedding day – costs can creep skyward. But don’t let a tight budget stand between you and the ultimate wedding cake. Size and design are the two main determinants in wedding cake cost. Creative brides can play with these elements to create a confection that is super-fab….and kind to your catering tab. Have your cake (and eat it too) with these budget saving tips:

Cut that Guest List –
As with all cost-per-person aspects of your wedding, narrowing down your guest list will result in significant wedding cake savings. Less mouths to feed = less slices; you get the idea. And any cake cutting fee, typically charged on a per slice bases as well, will also be reduced.

Hip to be Square –
A cake square in shape yields more slices than one that is round with the same dimensions. So go square – and make a deliciously modern statement!

Go Natural –
Hand-constructed gum paste or sugar paste flowers can quickly rack up your wedding cake cost. Substitute these costly adornments with fresh fruits and flowers – an inexpensive option that is equally stunning.

Keep It Simple –
While intricate, over-the-top cakes evoke the ultimate in wedding day opulence, today’s shift towards modern minimalism can foray into the world of cake design. The result is always chic – never a budget breaker. Lose the ornate adornments and infinite skyward-stretching tiers, and opt for a clean design with an impeccably smooth surface. Add simple details such as a Swiss dot pattern or wide ribbon around the base. Stick to one flavor, as multiple flavors will increase the bottom line.

One Stop Shopping –
If your wedding reception facility offers an onsite caterer, employ their services for your confection as well, and save on delivery and service fees. You will also ward off chances for a transportation mishap – a headache you surely want to avoid on the big day! Many reception sites offer a wedding cake as part of their package deal, so be sure to inquire when scouting reception sites.

“Dummy Cakes” –
Fancy a towering and dramatic wedding cake but don’t want to shell out the extra cash? Instead of paying for extra layers, ask your baker to create faux layers consisting of iced Styrofoam. Trust us – your guests will never be the wiser; it will be our little secret.

Outside the Proverbial Cake Pan –
Of-the-moment brides are breaking with tradition and forgoing the cake all together – presenting instead pies or pastries on tiered platters as the centerpieces of their wedding receptions. Depending on your selection, this can be an uber-chic way to save. Dare we say it, even doughnuts are in vogue – having been spotted at some of the poshest black tie events!

Is it necessary to send Save the Date cards before wedding invitations?

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Hello,

Just curious if it’s better to just send the wedding invitations now, instead of first sending a Save the Date card. We already know the date, the church, and who we want to invite. Why not just send the invites?

Thanks
