Top 10 Wedding Tips (cont) #4 : Keep Tab On The Alcohol  Do not automatically serve everyone wine
or liquor. Instead, have 2 or
3 waiters fo round with glasses of wine to serve those who drink. Not
everyone drinks and it is a waste to assume so. This way, you please
both groups of people while saving cost.
In some culture, it is acceptable to set up a bar, where guests have to pay for their own drinks after the fixed amount of alcohol runs out. This can be a huge money-saver, especially your guests are heavy drinkers. #5 : Making / Customize Your Own Wedding Gown  Wedding dresses can be tailor-made by
non-wedding, experienced
seamstress. Why pay more when you can easily pick out the fashion you
want and have them custom-made according to your body measurements?
If you want less hassle, buy a readymade basic dress and have it altered according to your liking. Who knows what you want better than yourself? #6 : Get Married At Non-Peak Season   Peak wedding season are from June to October, but Chinese community will generally avoid July as it is inauspicious. In the simple game of supply and demand, you will emerge a winner if you are willing to avoid the crowd. You'll also get more bargaining power when it comes to negotiating for freebies such as usage of own alcohol with no charge. Most people will host their wedding reception on a Saturday night, but I see more and more couples hosting an afternoon reception on Saturdays and Sundays. Instead of serving sit down dinner, they opt for buffet for their guest. This will knock off some nice discount off your bill. If you still want a grand feast with special discount, try doing it on a Friday night. Your guest will be able to drink and party till late since Saturday is a day off for most. #7 : Have An Outdoor Wedding    You'll save tons of money if you host your wedding reception outdoors. No expensive hotel food, no hall rental, and simpler gowns for yourself, your fiance and your bridesmaid. Your biggest worries is the weather. Other than that, you may have to figure out the audio system and tents yourself.
