How to Make Your Wedding Less Expensive for your Guests

Your wedding is, first and foremost, about you and your partner, but for many couples, treating their family and friends to a fantastic day is just as important. If this really is a top priority (and be honest with yourself about this, because, of course, it’s fine if it’s not!), then you need to consider their budget when you’re setting yours.

1. Think long and hard about your wedding date and consider what else is going on in the area.
2. Choose a venue with affordable accommodation nearby.
3. Organize a shuttle for your guests.
4. Stress that attendance at auxiliary functions is optional.
5. Set a casual dress code and make this clear on your invitations.
6. Make sure your guests have enough to eat.
7. If serving alcoholic drinks, pay for them.
8. Create a wedding gift registry online.
9. Organize a child-care or children’s entertainer.
10. Keep the second-day celebrations relaxed.
11. Plan your destination wedding wisely.
