Bigger is not always better. One of the most difficult tasks you’ll face while planning your wedding is deciding who to invite. You’ll undoubtedly start with a list of hundreds of people – the average number of guests at a wedding is 189 - but a wedding on a budget cannot accommodate inviting your mother’s best friend from high school just because “they used to be so close”. At $30 - $200 per head for a wedding dinner, you have to be realistic. Some couples find it works to determine how many guests you can afford to invite, then divide that number into quarters. 1/4 for the brides parents, 1/4 for the grooms parents, 1/4 for her friends, and 1/4 for his friends. Other couples set rules such as not inviting anyone that the BOTH the bride and groom haven’t met. Another option is to invite single friends and family members without a guest. If there will be lots of singles they won’t need a date anyway – they’re sure to meet someone at the event!

If you use a large company you can expect to pay a premium for services such as photography, videography, floral arranging and catering. Instead, look for vendors who run smaller businesses on the side or out of their home. They have less overhead so their fees are often substantially less. It may take a little more investigative work to find them but usually asking anyone and everyone for referrals will uncover some hidden gems.
