Hey Everyone! I recently read this narrative from a mother of the bride (MoB) which I thought I would pass along. She’s describing how she saved money by making vendors compete. I hope it gives you some wedding savings ideas!

I like to think most brides try to get a little crafty for their wedding, and that those same brides don’t have a stock pile of craft supplies ar0und. Well, that’s definitely my scenario. For example, I am going to make our rehearsal dinner invitations. No, they will not be anything super fancy but I am going to borrow my office’s paper cutter for the weekend. Sure, I could buy a paper cutter… but when am I going to use it again? I also might use one of our printers to run the invites off. Yes, I do have a printer at home but the one at the office is quicker and I won’t use up all of our ink!
If your office isn’t equipped with useful tools, or your wedding usage would not be encouraged, then check with your friends and family. You might be surprised as to what their offices have and they can borrow. Now, don’t go all re-con to get the materials, and don’t get greedy with what you take. You won’t be able to pay for your wedding if you get fired! I will definitely ask my office manager if I can borrow the paper cutter for the weekend… if he says no maybe I will just bring everything into the office and stay late one day.

First and foremost, I need to say: forgoing wedding favors is a really easy way to cut wedding costs. At the end of the night, your guests don’t really want a little picture frame or candle. If you really do want to distribute a thank-you-something, then why not make it edible? And, why not make it yourself? Sure, you will need to do a test run to make sure the recipes works, but here are few easy, inexpensive, edible favor ideas:
