WE😱 The most expensive mistakes are the ones you don’t see coming — so SAVE this for later.
Here are 3 smart ways to cut costs:
1. KIDS 🧒
Yes, kids! Each child still requires a meal (even if it’s just pizza), a seat at a table, and sometimes extras like a high chair or even a separate childcare room 😩 That adds up fast.
You can absolutely have your own children in the ceremony and still host an adults-only reception. Don’t feel pressured to invite every guest’s kids just because you have a flower girl or ring bearer ‼️
2. CHAMPAGNE TOASTS 🥂
Be honest — how many guests actually drink champagne during the toast? 🤔 You’re typically charged per guest, and that cost climbs quickly.
A better option? 🙌🏽 Let guests toast with whatever they’re already drinking and put that money toward something more memorable — like a champagne tower photo moment!
3. REPURPOSE YOUR DECOR ✨
Repurposing means reusing ceremony décor for the reception 👏🏽 When done well (we do this all the time!), it looks seamless.
Bridesmaids’ bouquets, tall floral arrangements, and altar candles can double as reception centerpieces 🌸 Your ceremony backdrop can become a sweetheart table or cake table backdrop.
