Timing is everything— and the same goes for a wedding.  Everyone wants to be married in the peak wedding months of June through August.  If you want to really cut some costs do your budget a favor and get hitched in an off-month like October, November, January, February or March.  Remember it is also cheaper to get married in the “daylight”- brunch or afternoon.  Weddings are always less expense during those times compared to an evening bash.

If you do the math, each year there are 2.3 million couples tying the knot, however, there are only 52 Saturdays each year.  The best bargain sites and merchants always book up early.  So make sure to give yourself plenty of time to comparison shop, get competitive bids and pick out sales.

Need to cut even more costs?  Move your wedding to a day other than Saturday.  This will free up some extra costs associated with peak day weddings and even open up dates in your dream venue that may have been booked otherwise.  Score!

Make sure to set a budget and stick to it!  Yes, this means making some hard decisions, knowing where to invest your money and where not to. This is going to make your day more memorable and hopefully keep some cash in your pocket for those unplanned expenses, such as swimming with dolphins on your honeymoon.
