Kindly note that this is not an exhaustive list as additional expenses may depend on a couple’s preferences and circumstances.

Who pays for what?

There is no one size fits all for this, and the responsibilities of each member of the intending couple can vary depending on culture and family traditions. Couples need to candidly discuss and agree on how to divide wedding expenses based on their own preferences and financial situation.

What Wedding Expenses is the Groom responsible for?

Although modern couples may choose to split costs differently or pay for the wedding together, here are some wedding expenses that the groom typically covers:

  • Marriage license and legal fees: The groom usually covers the cost of obtaining the marriage license and any legal fees associated with the wedding.
  • Groom’s attire: This includes the cost of the groom’s suit or tuxedo, shoes, accessories, and grooming services.
  • Groom’s wedding party: The groom is typically responsible for covering the costs of attire and accessories for his groomsmen.
  • Gifts for the wedding party: A groom often gives a gift to each of his groomsmen as a token of appreciation.
  • Corsages and boutonnieres: Provided for his family members and the groomsmen.
  • Transportation: The groom is responsible for arranging and paying for transportation for himself, the groomsmen, and any family members.
  • Honeymoon: The groom may be responsible for planning and paying for the honeymoon.


What Wedding Expenses is the Bride/her family responsible for?

Traditionally, the bride and/or her family are responsible for paying for certain wedding expenses such as:

  • Wedding dress and accessories: A bride is usually responsible for paying for her own wedding dress, as well as accessories such as shoes, jewelry, and a veil.
  • Hair and makeup: The bride pays for her own hair and makeup, as well as the hair and makeup of her bridesmaids.
  • Wedding planner or coordinator: The bride and her family may choose to hire a wedding planner or coordinator to help with the planning process and oversee the wedding day.
  • Wedding invitations: They typically finance the cost of printing and sending out wedding invitations.
  • Ceremony and reception decorations: The bride/her family may pay for flowers, centrepieces, lighting, and other decorations for the ceremony and reception.
  • Photography and videography: The bride and her family are also responsible for hiring a photographer and/or videographer to capture the wedding day.
  • Wedding favours: They may choose to provide wedding favours for guests as a token of appreciation.
  • Ceremony and reception music: They may cater to the live or recorded music for the ceremony and reception.
  • Transportation for the bride and her family: The bride’s family usually pays for transportation for themselves and any family members.
It's important to emphasise again that these responsibilities can vary depending on the couple’s own preferences, financial situations, cultural and family traditions, and that couples should discuss and agree on how to divide these wedding expenses.

How to deal with family and friends’ influence

When planning a wedding, family members and friends often have opinions on what they think the couple should do, including how to spend. While their input can be helpful, sometimes it is overwhelming and provokes a couple to spend more than they had planned for the wedding.

Here are some ways you can limit this outside influence without affecting your close relationships.

1. Communicate Clearly: Let family and friends know from the beginning what your budget is and what you can and cannot afford. Make it clear that you are happy to receive their suggestions and help, but the final decision on how much to spend is yours.

2. Be Firm and Confident: Don’t be afraid to say “no thank you” to suggestions that are outside of your budget or comfort zone. Be confident in your decisions and communicate them clearly.

3. Seek Advice from a Neutral Third Party: If you’re having trouble communicating with your loved ones about this, seek advice from a neutral third party, such as a wedding planner or financial coach.


As much as you love the valuable input your family and friends provide, it’s super important to remember your budget and preferences as the primary considerations that would enable you have the wedding of your dreams without breaking the bank.

Think through what both of you want as a couple and be firm on how you want your special day to go. Don’t get pressured by the supposed expectation of family members, friends, and society at large, or get overwhelmed by the pressure of it all.

If they feel so strongly about adding anything to the proceedings which you don’t mind having, suggest that they fund it as a gift to you and your partner.

Personal Loans for Wedding Expenses

This is important to mention as many couples turn to loans to help cover costs. As high as 47% of couples in some areas of the world confessed to doing this. While borrowing money in this manner can provide immediate funds for the desired wedding expenses with the intention to pay back post-wedding, they also come with potential drawbacks the couples should carefully consider.

Things like a high interest rate which increases the likelihood of defaulting on monthly repayments for instance. Also, a bigger debt load which is difficult to manage in the long run and can negatively impact your credit score, financial stability, and the chance to purchase a house, start a family, or save for retirement.

Such a financial burden could increase your stress levels and hamper your quality of life. It could also lead to avoidable fights with your partner over money. Plus, borrowing money can create unrealistic expectations for the wedding day, putting undue pressure on you to have the “perfect” wedding, thereby creating even more stress and taking away from the joy of the occasion!

You should carefully consider you and your partner’s financial situation and the terms of a loan before deciding to take one. Even though having the wedding you envisioned without compromising might seem appealing now, creating a realistic budget based on your means and sticking to it instead of borrowing would help to avoid overburdening yourself with debt and financial stress right at the start of your marriage.


How to Save up Money for a Wedding

With a bit of planning and effort, saving up for a wedding is possible without sacrificing your financial health. Here are six steps to save money for your dream wedding.

1. Create a Budget: The first step in saving for a wedding is to create a budget. This will help you determine how much money you need to save in the first place. It is important to give your budget some wiggle room in case of eventualities.

2. Scrutinise your list and prioritise the expenses: Give your list a good look and see where you can cut costs that would help your budget. Also prioritise the most important aspects of the wedding to avoid overspending.

3. Create target savings goals: Here’s an example. Say your budget is $15,000 and your wedding is slated for 8 months from now. You could decide to save up that amount over the next 6 months. This comes to $2,500 monthly or $625 weekly.

4. Cut Back on Expenses: Cut back on expenses in your daily life. Skip that daily latte or reduce your cable package. Every little bit of savings helps to fund your wedding without borrowing.

5. Have a dedicated savings account: Set up a savings account that hosts your wedding fund. You could go the extra mile by setting up automatic monthly transfers from your earnings account to your savings account. This will help you stay on track with your set savings goals.

6. Have a Long Engagement: Having a longer engagement can give you more time to save up for your wedding. It has the added benefit of giving you more time to research and negotiate with vendors to get the best prices.

And now, here’s the part you’ve been dying to know.


How to Save Money when Planning a Wedding

Every wedding is unique and some of these tips may not apply to every couple or their preferences. It’s important to prioritise what is most important to you and your partner and allocate your budget accordingly. With some effort, creativity, and flexibility, it’s possible to save money on the necessary items and services, and still have a memorable wedding.

Below is how to save money on your wedding in 78 great ways.

How to Save Money on Your Wedding Ceremony in general

1. Research and Price shop 

Get quotes on the different items and services you want from different vendors. This would help you know what’s on the market and be able to select which ones are better for your budget.

2. Negotiate with Vendors

It’s easy to forget sometimes that the first quote you get is not set in stone. Negotiate with vendors to get the best prices. Many of them are willing to work with you to create a package that fits your budget. Especially if they are local vendors and not big, popular, national chains.

You can also hire them for more than one service they provide which would save you money on the overall package. Make sure to read their package terms as well for any stated tenors, seasonal changes, penalties and such things.

3. Choose a Less Popularly used Date

Choosing an off-peak wedding date helps you save some money, especially with the venue. Consider getting married during shoulder seasons like late winter and early spring. Avoiding the holidays like Christmas and New Year’s. You could skip Saturdays and the weekend in general and decide to get married on a weekday.

4. Host a Daytime Wedding 

A daytime wedding would help you a lot as you get to save on the extra lighting costs required by evening affairs. Ensuring your ceremony is wrapped up while the sun is still out would help you save some money. 

5. Start Shopping Early 

Prices of the things you need typically go up and not down. It is wise to begin purchasing the items you need gradually instead of waiting till the last minute.

6. Scout for wedding deals 

This does require you to dig a fair bit but it sure is worth it to land some of the good wedding deals on offer by some service companies in your area. You could get great discount offers that would help with different aspects of your wedding.

7. Capitalise on sales

Shopping for wedding items during sales or clearance events would be a big win for you and your budget. Be on the lookout for which sales are happening when and grab the chance to purchase what you need at lesser prices.

8. Use your loved ones and guests’ talents and services

Chances are you have people in your circle who have talents in an area you need for your wedding. Depending on the nature of your relationship, you can enlist them to help you with their services, either as a complete gift to you or at a significant discount! You can have friends and family serve as the wedding planner, decorator, officiant, make-up artist, DJ, MC, Photographer, Videographer, etc. Pretty cool right?

9. Use Credit Card Rewards

If you have some credit card rewards, you could use that to pay for some expenses. Many credit cards offer rewards that can be used towards travel, hotels, or other wedding expenses.

10. Use a Cash Gift Registry

Making use of a cash gift registry that people can support you and your spouse with is a valuable tool to use. You can even state that the contributions are towards a specific cause, such as an aspect of the wedding, the honeymoon, or even a future home.

11. Have a Single Ceremony

Each culture has its own way of conducting wedding ceremonies, some of which are very elaborate. Though you may want to honour such traditions, sticking to having a single ceremony instead of having multiple ones would help you save a significant amount of money.

12. Keep the Guest List Small

Having a strictly smaller guest list would significantly reduce the cost of the wedding as there are fewer people to cater to. Consider inviting only the close family and friends you would want to share your special day with. You could have a small and intimate reception instead of a full house.

13. Consider a Destination Wedding

Opting for a destination wedding can limit the number of guests in attendance which would save you money. Of course, having your ceremony at an expensive island resort would defeat the purpose of saving money so you have to choose the location wisely.

14. Make it a virtual ceremony

If there’s one thing the Covid-19 pandemic helped us with, it is teaching people how to be seamlessly connected virtually. If you really want to keep the cost of your wedding low and stress-free, host a very small wedding that you can stream on an online platform like Zoom, and have the meeting link sent beforehand to those who won’t be physically present. I personally have tuned into one and really enjoyed it.

15. Get Creative and DIY responsibly

Think outside the box when it comes to your wedding. Consider DIY projects or finding less expensive alternatives to traditional wedding expenses. You can DIY your wedding hair and makeup, wedding bouquet, boutonniere, decorations, signage, wedding favours, etc.

On a side note, yes, making things yourself could save you money. But consider how much you might spend on materials and the time investment required to create everything and then decide if it makes sense to do.

16. Skip the extras that cost you

There are things you can choose to skip altogether and not have at your wedding which should not be a problem. You can skip the wedding favours, wedding gift bags for guests, and thank-you gifts. If you feel strongly about including these, then get cheap options that won’t blow your budget.

17. Use free or low-cost wedding planning resources

Planning a wedding is no joke at all and it pays to have all the assistance you can get. There are free and low-cost planning tools you can use to stay organised and on track with all the affairs relating to your wedding. Tools like wedding planning software including apps and websites abound. Look into which would work for you. 

18. Hire a wedding planner

This sounds a bit counterintuitive at first. I mean, how does HIRING someone save me money right? But it actually can! One of wedding planners’ most important duties is ensuring you stay within budget. They are valuable third parties to have, and can use their wedding industry contacts and know-how to get you the best deals and savings out there.


How to Save Money on Your Wedding Venue

19. Avoid the Popular Wedding Venues

Yes, it would be a dream to get hitched at that gorgeous, well-known venue everyone raves about. But those are also the venues that cost the most money! Avoiding them would serve you well.

20. Choose a Less Expensive Wedding Venue 

Choosing a less expensive venue would save you money. You can do with a non-traditional venue with less character that’s spruced up well for your big day. Consider hosting the wedding in a public park, on a beach, at a family member’s backyard, at a loved one’s property, at the community centre, or even at a library if that’s your preference. Who makes the rules anyway?

21. Host it All in One Place 

Hosting the wedding ceremony and reception at the same location not only saves money, but time and stress also! You can get an all-inclusive venue that offers many services in-house to further save money overall.


How to Save Money on Wedding Attire

22. Skip the Designer Wedding Dress

It’s fine to crave wearing a catchy Vera Wang dress for your big day, but when the objective is to save money, redirecting your focus to a cheaper option that is still classy and beautiful works fine. Choosing an unadorned wedding gown or having a simple gown sewn costs less.

23. Buy a Pre-owned Wedding Dress

One of the options available to you is to buy an already-used dress that is still in good shape. For something you are likely to wear only once in your life, this isn’t a bad idea at all. There are bridal shops that deal in these you can scout for in your area.

24. Choose a Less Expensive Tuxedo or Suit option

The Tom Ford tuxedoes and Giorgio Armani suits can look mighty dashing but shouldn’t exactly be at the top of your list if you are looking to save some money. Go for something more affordable you’d still look handsome in.

25. Skip the Wedding Dress/Suit alterations

Making adjustments and fittings to your outfits incur extra charges. Especially if these alterations are major ones. You have to consider skipping these or choosing another outfit to save cost.

26. Rent the Wedding Gown and Wedding Suit/Tuxedo

This is becoming ever-popular and rightly so! Instead of acquiring an outfit you’d rarely if ever, use again, and paying full price for it, you can rent one and save the extra money for something else.

Choose good wedding bands that don’t break the bank

27. Choose an Affordable Wedding Band

Selecting plain gold rings over diamond rings for instance does reduce the cost of your wedding. A pretty straightforward tip here.

28. Rent Attires for other Wedding Events

There is no shortage of wedding-related events for those who choose to have them. For the rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, bachelor’s eve, engagement party, and all else, you can choose to rent the outfits you’d use instead of opting for an entirely new wardrobe.

29. Rent the Wedding Party’s Attire

The same thinking as above applies to your wedding party. Rented outfits will better save costs than an outright buy. Females especially may not get to wear said outfits ever again if they bought them anyway.


How to Save Money on the Wedding Party

30. Enlist a Smaller Wedding Party

You can decide to limit the size of your wedding party. Instead of a full train that has all your friends, you could choose to have a small wedding party with only a maid of honour and the best man.

31. DIYGgifts

It’s always a nice idea to show appreciation to the bridal party for their support. When you are trying to save money, your gift can be a less expensive DIY project that has a lot of thought put into it.

32. Skip the Gifts

Conversely, if you really cannot afford to, you could skip giving your wedding party any gifts altogether and stick with heartfelt thank-yous and prayers.


How to Save Money on Wedding Flowers and Decor

A beautiful venue requires less decor

33. Choose a Naturally Beautiful Venue

Doing this would really be helpful to your cause in that far less money is required to beautify the place. Selecting a venue with nice scenery and surroundings is a good move.

34. Use more Greenery in Place of Flowers

Using greenery or herbs is a good low-cost alternative to using flowers at your wedding. It vastly reduces the number of flowers you would need or eliminates that need altogether.

35. Get Local, In-season Flowers

Choosing in-season flowers will save some cost as these are readily available for purchase. You could visit a local flower farm or the farmer’s market to get bouquets and flower centrepieces.

36. Use Faux or Silk Flowers in place of Fresh Flowers

Fresh flowers cost more and require a lot more care in their handling. If you’re looking to save some money, consider using faux or silk flowers which are also beautiful.

Use flower arrangements for the wedding

37. Purchase Pre-made Bouquets or Flower Arrangements

Consider getting already-arranged bouquets to decorate your wedding venue from a grocery store. Not only does this save money, but time as well.

38. Consider Non-Floral Decor

Flowers might be popular but they are by no means the only focal point you can use for your decorations. Non-floral decorations like lanterns, candles, or even fruits like berries work in wedding decor. Natural elements like leaves and pinecones are good options as well. Using thrift store or vintage decorations for a unique look can be a nice touch too.

39. Limit the Amount of Decor

You can choose to make things really simple and save money by limiting the volume of decorations. Consider using very few flowers and forgoing the aisle runner. Or choosing a wedding arch over costly aisle decorations. Selecting simple table settings instead of elaborate centrepieces and so on.

40. Use Candles instead of Expensive Lighting

Candles are much cheaper to source than typical lighting. If you are looking to save money, look into how you can pull off using candlelight which has the added benefit of looking quite tasteful.

Candles give a nice touch as decor too

41. Borrow Wedding Decorations from Friends or Family

If you’re lucky enough to have loved ones who own any decorations you could employ, go ahead and ask for them. A sound way to leave your own money untouched.

42. Rent Wedding Decor instead of Buying Them

This makes sense to do for a one-time affair. Usually, the decorating team has access to items that can be rented for a day, and doing so would save you money.

43. Skip the Ceremony Decorations

You can choose to go the very minimalist route and not do any decorations at all. Luckily, this is no crime. Your marriage license will still be valid.


How to Save Money on Wedding Invitations and Stationery 

44. Use Online Invitations

Modern technology has helped us in a lot of ways and this is one such way. Instead of printing anything, save money by sending out online invitations. Papers only end up in the bin or in recycling anyway. Reducing the volume of paper in the environment can be your way of helping to save the planet. 

45. Make your Own Wedding Invitations

Rather than pay someone else to do it, consider making your own invitations. You may be surprised at what simple design apps like Canva can help you create.

46. Use Simpler Invites

Choose a less expensive wedding invitation option by opting for simply designed invites with no extras. The more intricate the design, the more you would have to pay.

47. Avoid Oversized Invites 

The bulkier the invite is, the more money it would cost you to print out and post it to your guest. Try using a smaller wedding invitation size to save on these costs.

48. Select Digital Printing

Printing techniques like letterpress, engraving, and foil stamping, are elegant but more expensive options. Choosing a cheaper option like digital printing would help you.

49. Use a Wedding Website instead of Printing Programs

A wedding website can help provide all the information your guests need to know thereby eliminating the need to print out the program of the day.

50. Choose RSVP Postcards or Online RSVP

RSVP postcards don’t cost as much to send out as RSVP cards and envelopes do. So you can choose to do that or forgo it altogether and offer online RSVP on your wedding website instead.

51. Print One Order of Service per Couple

Issuing one order of service to each couple in attendance reduces the number of copies you need to print out.

52. Have One Menu per Table

Also in the spirit of saving on printing costs, you can choose to have a single menu on each guest table and they can take turns to peruse through.

53. Order All your Stationery from One Supplier

So long as it is possible to do, order your stationery from a single supplier. This operates much like a bulk purchase that helps you save on the overall quote.

How to Save Money on Wedding Catering (Food & Drink)

54. Use a Local Restaurant instead of a Traditional Caterer

Deciding that your wedding food be supplied by a local restaurant rather than a traditional caterer is a good way you could save some money.

55. Plan a Brunch Wedding/Late Wedding

The time of the day of your wedding decides how much food needs to be consumed by guests. Having an early-day wedding allows you to serve breakfast or brunch at the reception instead of a full meal. On the other hand, hosting an evening wedding affords you the chance to serve just dinner.

56. Keep the Menu Simple 

You can keep the food choices down to just a few options and these meals should not be so fanciful and made with premium ingredients so you actually do get to save money. You should also take into consideration people who may have dietary restrictions.

57. Choose a Buffet or Family-style Meal Option

Buffets, sharing platters, food trucks, and the like have the advantage of being cheaper overall than sit-down-plated dinners. Especially plated dinners with 3 or more courses. Choose the option that would work for you.

58. Do a Cocktail-style Reception

Instead of having proper meals, you can choose to host a cocktail-style event with loads of appetisers going around that won’t leave guests hungry. This is a particularly good idea for a brunch wedding.

59. Have a Potluck-style Reception 

This might be a very unconventional route to follow but it is still a good option. Especially for a small-sized wedding with close circles. Guests bringing their own dishes to share with others does help you save on food costs.

60. Serve Cake for Dessert

Ice cream on waffles, yummy profiteroles, and other decadent desserts can be great to have for sure. But using your wedding cake as the dessert for your guests saves you money.

61. Limit your Bar 

Forgo an open bar and limit the alcohol options so you can keep drink costs low. You can choose to serve beer, a signature cocktail, and wine only instead of a full bar. 

62. Bring your Own Alcohol 

If your venue permits it, you can purchase your own alcohol in bulk and hire a bartender to serve the drinks. This can really bring down the cost of drinks.

63. Skip the Champagne Toast

It is okay to not have pricey champagne present to fill up everyone’s glass. If you must have a toast, that can be done with regular wine.


How to Save Money on a Wedding Cake

A simple classy wedding cake saves money

64. Opt for a Simple-styled Cake

Choosing a simply styled wedding cake with minimal embellishments is cheaper than going for a more elaborate one. It would save you money and still serve well at the occasion.

65. Get a Small Cake and Supplement it

You could have a small cake made and used for the quintessential cutting ceremony, and then supplement it with a sheet cake that gets shared with your guests.

66. Have Cakes per Table

Another thing you can do is use a small cake as a centrepiece on each table which your guests can dig into when it is time.

67. Choose Buttercream Frosting

Though certain choices like fondant icing may look sleeker, buttercream frosting is a tasty and notably cheaper option for your cake.

68. Use a Wedding Cake Substitute

Who says you have to use a traditional cake? Opting for cupcakes or even a dessert bar instead of a cake can save some quid.


How to Save Money on Wedding Photography and Videography

Limiting the hours of the videography saves money

69. Skip the Engagement Photoshoot

Once upon a time and not that long ago, engagement photoshoots weren’t even a thing! Much like everything else, it is not compulsory to do one. Skipping it saves you money.

70. Choose an Affordable Photographer/Videographer

Instead of hunting down the popular and more pricey options, you can scout for a less expensive professional. Hiring a local photographer and videographer who still delivers on quality is fine. You could also choose to go with a student or amateur photographer for a lower cost.

71. Book an Associate

Sometimes, in-demand vendors can recommend someone else who works for them at a lower price. This means you’d still be getting a similar vibe and quality assurance.

72. Limit the Hours of Service

The price of filming time does add up really quickly. You could work around this by limiting the number of hours that the photographer and videographer capture. Maybe leave out all the “dress up and en route to the venue” portions and maintain the focus on the most important parts of the ceremony. 

73. Use a Photo booth

Instead of a photographer, you can choose to go with a photo booth option which is also fun. Could have some props available for guests to use and take all sorts of photos for keeps.


How to Save Money on Wedding Music

74. Use Cheaper Professionals

Don’t be fixated on getting the most popular professionals to anchor the music at your wedding. The bill from getting a celebrity for instance is enormous. Choose a less expensive DJ, wedding singer(s), or band.

75. Get a Smaller Live band

The smaller the band, the fewer people and equipment you would need to pay for. Cutting down on the number of vocalists and instrumentals is an easy way to save on live music.

76. Use a Playlist

Instead of going for a DJ or live band, you could create a wedding playlist on your laptop or another device that would roll on through your event.


How to Save Money on Wedding Transportation

77. Avoid using Luxury Cars

Renting a luxury car like a Rolls Royce or limousine should probably not be your focus if you are looking to save some money. Skip such wedding car services. Lean more towards renting regular yet comfortable cars like SUVs. 

78. Use your Own/Family and Friends’ vehicles 

Instead of renting any automobiles at all, you could arrange to have you, your spouse, and the wedding party driven around in your own cars! Besides gas and a driver here or there, there’s nothing else to pay for.
