Your wedding budget is one of the biggest factors in determining a lot of your wedding decisions, so it's important to make a clear budget early in the planning process. If you're worried you'll have to cut too many corners because you're planning a wedding on a budget, don't despair! You can find tons of great tips and advice for throwing a gorgeous wedding on a budget on our Budget Weddings message board, plus we've got tons of ideas from real weddings on how to make the most of your wedding budget. First, determine your guest list. Cutting the number of people you invite to your wedding is the quickest way to cut costs in wedding budgets. Next, decide what you're willing to splurge on for your budget wedding. It might be fabulous photography, delicious food, or a stunning wedding dress, but you should know up front what you definitely don't want to sacrifice. As you continue planning a wedding on a budget, consider DIY-ing certain elements to save money. Creating your own escort cards or wedding favors, for example, can give you some wiggle room in your wedding budget -- and allow you to splurge on other things, like a knock-out wedding cake. Choosing the right wedding venue can also help you save when planning a wedding on a budget. Outdoor weddings don't require as much decor, meaning your budget wedding can be stunning without the sticker shock.
