Having a minimalist wedding has somewhat become a thing in recent times for several reasons. For some, it's about avoiding the stress associated with a big wedding. For others, it's about making it more meaningful by celebrating just with the people who matter to them.
A minimalist traditional wedding is usually a huge budget saver. Nevertheless, this doesn't have to mean it shouldn't be stylish and creating a proper wedding outline will go a long way towards achieving your plans.
In this post, you will get 5 major tips on how you organize a budget-friendly minimalist wedding
Keep Your Budget Small
Prioritize your expenses by spending the most on things that are very important to you and spend less on things that you don't consider a priority.
For instance, if you want a close-knit gathering with a variety of dishes, you may skip event rental facilities and make do with your backyard as the wedding venue. It is all about spending on your top priority and keeping other areas low key.
Create A Shopping List
Start by making a list of things to buy, rent, or hire for the wedding. To further help you avoid the usual impulsive overspending and stick to your budget, most couples get stressed when their wedding date is close by and a lot hasn't been done. The list helps you keep things in check.
Create A Guest List
Wanting a minimalistic wedding usually means you are thinking of having less than 100 guests. If that's the situation, you need a guest list to work with. This will help manage the crowd.
Get Help
Even small weddings need lots of planning and logistics. You'll need to hire help or get free help from friends and family. If you don't have the time or available people to help, then your best bet is a planner.
Planners are expensive but are usually the most efficient way of managing your budget. You can get referrals for a planner well within your budget. But remember the cheapest option are friends and family especially since your event is not so elaborate.
Stick To Your Budget
When it is time to start shopping and hiring vendors, stick to your budget. To keep your budget small, skip unnecessary extras. Simply focus on giving your guests good value for their time.
