Keep your wedding small
Take a look at your guest list. A smaller guest list means a smaller venue, less transportation, invitations, favors, catering and décor. Sit down with your intended and discuss which guests can be cut. Family should be looked at last, but co-workers or friends that have not kept in touch over the years can be culled from the event. Make sure that both of you agree. If family is helping to pay for the wedding, ask for their input to avoid hurt feelings.
