Yes, of course, you still can. There are many catering services around that offer their service at a much lower price without affecting the quality of the food they serve. Also, if you think that you do not have too much money to serve tons of food options, stick with a few but make sure they all taste good.

You do not need to buy a brand new wedding gown, as there are available second hand shops that offer equally beautiful gowns, you just have to visit the right shop and check on the quality and the condition of the gown before buying it.

Also, there are many shops where you can rent beautiful, signature gowns. If this you consider, you can wear a gown, that even in your dreams you never had considered.

• Your Guests Will Never Be Happy

What? Is it impossible that your guests will not be happy on your wedding. They are there to share with you the most romantic event in your life, and a glimpse of happiness in your eyes is enough to make them happy.

Besides, it is not only the food, the entertainment, the wedding favors that can make them happy but also the time they will spend with their loved ones, friends and family.

• Limited Guest List

It is true that you will not be able to invite 300 guests. However, that does not mean you are only allowed to invite 10 or 15. You can go for a minimal attendance but not too few like what others think. Make sure though that you are choosing the right vendors to keep your costing low without affecting the quality of your wedding.

Do not be too hard on yourself! There are many ways you can do to make your wedding perfect despite its minimal attendance.

• No Wedding Favors

You do not have to do that as there are a lot of DIY wedding favors you can think of. Sure, wedding favors are not a requirement for weddings, but giving it away to guests is still a good idea. You can choose to give away wedding favors you can make on your own. Think cookies, doughnuts, even handcrafted soaps and candles. All you have to do is watch video tutorials and voila, you can do a lot by yourself.

Anyway, a wedding can make it even if there is no wedding favors to give away guests.

• Wedding will never be memorable

Your wedding will forever be memorable even how simple it is. Wedding is about the union of 2 hearts and the promise of forever. It is a bonus if you can afford huge celebration. However, a wedding is still a wedding worth to remember for a long time. If you cannot hire a photographer, you can ask a friend or a family member to take photos. Sure, professional photographer’s photos are better but why would you force yourself if you really cannot afford hiring them.

• People Will Talk About Your Wedding

There is no person in the right mind who will complain about how your wedding goes to other people. If they respect you, they will never do that at all. They will be very happy that you are finally with the person who will love you and be with you for the rest of your life.
