Take a Look at Ways to Entertain Guests at Your Wedding Reception

In order to receive everything that you seek to create your once in a lifetime experience, you will need to ensure that your finances are in check! And, the best way to do so is by creating a wedding budget.

With a properly developed wedding budget, you can begin creating your big day with ease! That’s why, here at Ma Masion, as an Austin wedding venue, we have gathered some tips to assist you with planning yours. Are you ready to discover what these tips are? If so, you will certainly want to continue reading:

  • Your Total Amount

    First off, you will want to discover the overall amount of money that you have to spend on your wedding! From there, you can then create smaller budgets, such as for your wedding dress and your catering. This way, you know how much you have to spend on each detail for your wedding, ensuring that you don’t overspend on certain details.

  • The Venue

    Seeing as your wedding venue is most likely the most expensive element of your big day, you will want to save money in any way that you can. When booking yours, choose a space where you can host both your ceremony and reception at, so that you don’t have to pay for two separate locations. In addition, if you consider saying “I do” on a weekday rather than the weekend, costs will most likely be less expensive for you. Also, consider avoiding holidays are dates around them, as these times are most often more expensive.

  • Monitor Your Spending

    You will be making a lot of purchases for your wedding. Therefore, it is important that you keep track of them with ease! In order to do so, consider opening a bank account just for your wedding finances. This way, the purchases you make for your wedding won’t clash with your personal finances. After all, staying organized is certainly of importance!

  • Your Dress

    Another big aspect of your big day will be your wedding dress! Ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, you could shell out quite a bit of cash for your dream gown. Why spend so much on a dress that you will only wear once? Instead, consider renting your gown.

  • Your Decorations

    In order to create your wedding day to be a personal experience for you and your partner, you will adorn it with lovely decorations! However, purchasing elements of décor for both your ceremony and reception can become quite costly. Therefore, you should use the same details for both. For example, the flowers you use for your ceremony can then be placed throughout your reception. A quick switch of your decorations while your wedding cocktail hour is taking place would do just the trick!

Planning a wedding doesn’t have to cost you an extravagant amount of money! In fact, these are just a few of the many helpful tips that will assist you with planning your own big day on a budget.
