婚日擇在淡季
1) Schedule your wedding during your locale's off-season (usually November through March). Most venues reduce their prices during these times. Other vendors may also offer lower, more flexible rates.
婚禮不要放在周六
2) Save on a high-season wedding by throwing your bash on a Friday or Sunday instead of a Saturday evening, which always costs most.

3) Trim the guest list. You'll cut food, liquor, and rental costs, and you might even be able to downsize your reception space.
準(zhǔn)備桌椅餐具
4) Reserve a site that's fully furnished, like a hotel or restaurant. You'll save a fortune by not having to rent tables, chairs, dishes, and flatware
飾品
5) Choose local, seasonal blooms instead of expensive varieties that need to be shipped. Cut costs even more by opting for smaller centerpieces and bouquets: Fewer stems equal a smaller final tab.
音樂(lè)
6) Hook your iPod up to your venue's sound system instead of hiring a DJ. You'll lose an emcee, but you'll gain more control over the music.
婚禮宴上
7) Have waiters ask before pouring wine if you're paying by consumption. Also request that they avoid clearing half-filled glasses.
場(chǎng)地費(fèi)
8) Find a BYOB venue. Caterers often triple the retail price of liquor, so book a site that let you bring your own beverages (buy wine by the case).
酒水的價(jià)格
9) Transfer inexpensive wines from their original bottles into decanters. That way, no one can inspect the label. Or make fruity sangria; they'll never suspect the vino costs just $5 a bottle.
酒水的種類
10) Skip the full bar. Instead, serve just wine, beer, soda, and one popular cocktail (it's hard to turn down a margarita or mojito)
