The conflicting demands of striving for promotion and trying to get a foot on the property ladder, whilst trying to be responsible by putting any spare pennies away for a rainy day, all conspire to take their toll on the bank balance; and, well, weddings can get expensive. If you and your beloved are planning to make your commitment to one another in tighter times, here are a few suggestions for reducing some of the costs of the day:<\/p>\n<h2>1) Borrow as much stuff as you can<\/h2>\n<p>If your venue comes with everything included then this may not be possible, but if you\u2019re starting from scratch then enlisting the help of everyone you know can save a heap of cash, as well as turning the big day into a fun collaborative effort. Chair and marquee hire, for example, will take a sizeable chunk out of your budget, and you won\u2019t even have anything fun to show for it. Ask around your nearest and dearest (in plenty of time!) whether they have any spares you can borrow for the day; mismatched chic is a big wedding trend at the moment, after all\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2764\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2764\" style=\"width: 513px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/5cfb86d4d132f0d2bd9980e1f7b08eb6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2764\" src=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/5cfb86d4d132f0d2bd9980e1f7b08eb6.jpg\" alt=\"wedding tent ideas\" width=\"513\" height=\"770\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2764\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2764\" src=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/5cfb86d4d132f0d2bd9980e1f7b08eb6.jpg\" alt=\"wedding tent ideas\" width=\"513\" height=\"770\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/154389093450080049\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>2) Make yourselves an amazing wedding playlist<\/h2>\n<p>While the idea of having a live band or DJ at your ceremony is undoubtedly a lovely one, the associated expenses may leave you looking sorrowfully at your bank balance and wishing you hadn\u2019t bothered. Making yourselves a wedding playlist of your own not only virtually eliminates the costs but can also be a fun activity for you and your fianc\u00e9 to do together when you just can\u2019t face looking at the guest list yet again. Even better, using an online music platform like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/uk\/\">Spotify<\/a> will allow others to add to the playlist, so you could enlist help of the bridesmaids and groomsmen too.
