A Beautiful Wedding Fit For a Queen but Squeezed into a Bad Credit Budget
Your wedding day is one of the most important events in your life and you want to ensure every memory of it is a good one.
However, with a little forward planning and expert know-how it’s possible to organise your special day and save money.
“The extra money could be put towards your honeymoon or towards the deposit on a house,” said Andrew James, spokesperson for Bad Credit Loans 4 You, a UK finance specialist at sourcing wedding loans and bad credit loans to pay for wedding expenses.
“Just because you’re cutting a few corners doesn’t mean the occasion has to suffer; in most cases it makes it more personal and special.”
Below are a few ways to lower your need for a wedding loan and steer clear of bad credit debt, without spoiling your special day.
The Engagement Ring Finance
Once you decide you want to propose, it may be difficult to withhold the temptation to rush off and buy an engagement ring on credit, but timing is key.
All jewellers have sales and since financing an engagement ring can be quite expensive, there is always a chance you’ll grab yourself a bargain.
“Remember to make a note of her ring size if you want it to be a surprise,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
Personalised Wedding Invitations
“Receiving a handmade wedding invitation in the post is much more exciting than one bought from the shops,” confirmed Mr James of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
A local stationary store or Hobbycraft stock many different materials for you to create a unique invitation that stands out from the rest.
Printing your own invites couldn’t be easier and can save a great deal towards your wedding expenses.
Don’t forget to prepare your guest list early to allow plenty of time to organise your unique wedding invitations.
Plus, any guests travelling long distances will appreciate the extra time in order to finalise their travel arrangements.
“If you’re not a big fan of homemade arts and crafts then most shops have a range of invites at good prices, so shop around for a deal to suit your bad credit budget,” commented Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
Wedding Reception Venue
There are many ways to save money on your wedding reception as you don’t always have to go for the most expensive place.
It’s becoming more popular to get married in the grounds of a friend or relatives home. “A well manicured lawn and neatly trimmed hedges look lovely in wedding photos, plus it gives it a real personal touch,” stated Mr James of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
You could alternatively opt for an unusual venue which means a lot to you, such as a local hill, riverside or your favourite park, where you’ve spent many summer afternoons together.
The local town hall or community centre is often the ideal place to hold your wedding reception at a fraction of the usual cost, contact your local town hall for a list of halls etc to rent and check them out.
Simply combine your personal touch with your own decorations, and it will likely cost less compared to other venues.
The post-wedding meal doesn’t have to be a sit-down affair, you can even organise the food and drink for guests yourself.
Each relative has their own ‘signature dish’ and would probably love to lend a hand just to hear others compliment them on how good it tastes.
Supermarkets are constantly offering drinks deals and slashing prices, especially at certain times of the year, so keep your eyes peeled for offers to save on your wedding finance needs.
Wholesalers also sell food platters and drinks in bulk, plus some make cakes to order at a fraction of the cost.
A Wedding Abroad
Getting married abroad can often work out cheaper.
Many couples often buy their own tickets without the use of wedding loans or holiday loans for people with bad credit, while traditionally the bride's family pay for the wedding package and it's acceptable for guests to pay their own way.
It gives you the perfect excuse to invite just a small selection of close friends and family to the wedding. So you’re only with the people you really want to celebrate your wedding day with, without forcing you into bad credit debt.
If you book through a travel operator, they do practically all the organising for you; leaving you plenty of time to search for your perfect wedding dress or even plan your honeymoon.
The vast majority of resorts these days have specialised wedding co-ordinators that ensure your perfect wedding day goes off without a hitch.
Wedding Photograher
Do you know a budding photographer, or a relative’s friend is attending classes then you could approach for help.
An invite to the wedding meal and a good boogie after is normally enough to thank them for their efforts.
It’ll make you feel more relaxed if you know the person taking the photos, plus you can have practice sessions without needing a bad credit wedding loan to pay the extra costs involved with using a professional wedding photographer.
Wedding Favours
Couples often go to great lengths and great expense to organise favours for their guests.
Although they may look great when the table is laid out, not all guests remember to take them home with them once the wedding is over, which can be a great disappointment as the money could have been used for something else.
A cheaper and more memorable alternative is to make your own favours, again adding a special and personal touch.
Heart shaped cookies with the guests initials are great place setters, plus you can find a range of different ideas by searching the internet.
If you are unsure about making your own favours then shopping around can save you a lot of money, especially when you are buying in bulk.
Your Wedding Car
If you have a friend who is lucky enough to own a nice car then you could ask them to use it on your wedding day, they might even dress up as your driver.
But don’t forget to get a ribbon to tie on the front.
