Frequently Asked Wedding Planning Questions

Q: I really want a formal wedding dress, but how can I find one for less?

A: Sometimes you can find an inexpensive wedding gown by asking the right questions at wedding dress shops. They may have off-season, sale or clearance dresses, but these inexpensive wedding dresses are seldom advertised, so it's always a good idea to ask. Also be sure to keep your eyes open for sample sales in your area.

Q: Is it acceptable to make my own wedding invitations?

A: Thanks to the popularity of scrapbooking and paper stores, it's never been easier to create unique and memorable wedding invitations.

Q: How can I find affordable decorations for my wedding and reception?

A: Dollar stores, thrift stores and garage sales can provide a wealth of low-cost wedding and reception decorations. Strands of lights, faux florals, linens, balloons and more can be found for extraordinarily low prices at these stores. Be sure to look after holidays, as this is when items such as these go on clearance or are donated to thrift stores.

Q: Is it less expensive to get married at certain times of the year?

A: Spring and summer are the most popular wedding seasons, and prices for venues rise accordingly. Choosing a fall or winter wedding not only gives you beautiful decorating themes to work with, but also offers more affordable venue options.

Q: How can I have low-cost music at my wedding reception?

A: Save yourself $1000 or more by foregoing a live band. If you ask around, you probably have a family member, friend, or friend of a friend who does wedding DJ duties (or at least has a killer sound system) and would be willing to take charge of the music - usually for little or no cost. Your guests just want to dance and have fun, and it's not that important to them exactly where the music is coming from.

Q: Bridal bouquets are expensive. Is there any way I can make mine more affordable?

A: To create a beautiful bridal bouquet for less, choose more affordable flowers (carnations, daisies, etc.) and then use a few exotic flowers as accents. You can create a stunning and original bouquet using flowers that are not necessarily "traditional" wedding flowers.

Q: I want to write my own vows. Is it ok to add a little humor?

A: Many couples choose to add some entertainment to their ceremony with funny wedding vows. All you need to do is add an extra promise or two that's unique to your relationship, such as, "I promise to make your favorite fruit smoothies on Sundays."

Q: How can I incorporate poetry into my wedding?

A: Wedding poetry may be used during the ceremony itself, on the wedding invitations, in your wedding program or as part of a wedding speech or toast. Even if poetry isn't your favorite thing (or your fiance's favorite thing), there's no denying that it creates a very special mood for your wedding.

Q: My fiance and I want to have pre-wedding party with all of our friends instead of the traditional bachelor and bachelorette parties. Is this acceptable?

A: A popular trend in recent years is the combined bachelor-bachelorette party. Many couples are still interested in one last bash before they get married, but they're choosing to do it by bringing all of their friends together for a party.

Q: How much should I spend on gifts for the wedding party?

A: There is no need to be extravagant or lavish while choosing unique wedding party gifts, especially if you're working with a tight budget. These keepsake gifts are not judged by their size or price, but rather by the thought behind them.
