Guys,
My wedding will be this coming November and we haven't started yet. The plan was moved fast forward since my girlfriend is already 3 months pregnant. Now, I want to know tips on having a wedding with less budget. I'd like to to church wedding instead of civil wedding. Please advise on some helpful tips.

hi, if what you mean by haven't started yet means your in total drakness? well u really need a miracle to pull this off. But as they say miracle can happen. the first thing you need is to list out all the MAIN things you need just the necessary then from there you need to break it down. Church wedding are though so you need to call on all your beloved family and friends to help out. You mention you are in a thight in budget too so this is a best way to save.
I believe most of the main cost are spend on this things. Wedding invitation, you assign someone to help you out in the layout and printing, self printing is cheaper. Souveniers, well the best and cheapest is still DIY so ask some of your wife-to-be girl friends to help out doing the DIY, a simple but beautiful item will do. Wedding outfits are also expensive, i suggest you go to those rental shops. Another expensive thing is the photos and videos of the wedding so since its all digital cameras now why not ask you friend to be your photographer and videographer in your wedding rather than hiring professionals. Then another best way to save is get some sponsors. :)
I hope this helps. Congatulations by the way to your up coming wedding and your coming baby. :)

I think the best way to save money would be on food. Its definetly the most expensive item. the easiest way to save is keep the wedding as small as you can. But i have to say dont dont get to cheeap you want her to be as happy as you on your wedding day

Your right Angel. As I try to inquire on all the preparations like wedding gowns, ring, decoration and etc, the only item that hit most is the food. First, I plan to do it in a hotel buts it really is expensive so I have to choose option B which is at the house. Anyways, what matters most is the marriage.

I suggest first of all you invite only those very close to both of you and a reception can always be thrown out after some three months of marriage, so maybe after the ceremony in the church you can invite the guests to the beach and celebrate there and buy some very light food too.

Hi sinnedsejatnom,in our generation i think nothing is cheap
nowadays..How about being married by Judge and some simple food
to offer for the visitors if you invite some.But i tell you
honesty even a simple wedding we need to spend quite a lot.
Even though the reception will be at your house.How about your
neighbour then you dont invite them.Anyway happy posting to you.

Youre right, even a simple wedding really spend lots of money.
For your suggestion, I dont want to be married by a judge because I might get tired of letting us married in a church as what other couples experienced.
