When talking about weddings, countless newlyweds today end up in years of debt just for the satisfaction of having a grand ceremony. The truth is, you don’t need to empty your savings account or take a personal loan<\/a> to get married.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ask yourself, is it really worth spending RM30,000 to impress the people that you may not even know, for an intimate ceremony between you and your soul mate? Our advice is to save that money for your future together and have an affordable (note that we didn\u2019t say cheap) but memorable wedding.<\/p>\n

1. Manage your guest list wisely<\/h2>\n

Look, it\u2019s YOUR wedding, so you don\u2019t have to invite the whole country \u2013 especially if you\u2019re doing it on a budget. Keep it within your close friends and family \u2013 a.k.a the people that really matter in your life. It\u2019s not just about sticking to your budget; your wedding is so much more meaningful and intimate when you celebrate it with your loved ones.<\/p>\n

If your family members try to pressure you into inviting more people, stand your ground and maintain absolute control over your guest list. Don\u2019t be shy to remove the people that don\u2019t matter \u2013 like that neighbour from 3 streets away whom you\u2019ve never talked to, or that aunt that you\u2019ve ever met but is your mom\u2019s twice removed second cousin.<\/p>\n

2. Ask for favours instead of gifts<\/h2>\n

If you have friends that are talented musicians, entertainers or photographers (we\u2019re looking at you, Instagrammers), ask them if they can provide those services as wedding gifts. It\u2019s a great way to keep your wedding within your budget, and it\u2019s a whole lot more fun to have your friends to DJ and emcee. Just be sure to remind them to keep all the embarrassing stories they know about you to a minimum.<\/p>\n

3. Have the wedding at home or outdoors<\/h2>\n

Sure, it MIGHT look grand to hold the ceremony at a 5-star hotel, but nothing beats having a wedding in the comforts of your home or the great outdoors. How cool is it to hold a wedding by the beach, with the never-ending sound of the waves in the background?<\/p>\n

A wedding in the middle of a garden, surrounded by trees and flowers under the bright sunshine sounds pretty awesome, too. Renting fan-equipped tents is a far more economical option than splurging on a posh hotel\u2019s dining hall. And if you do it outdoors, you can also look forward to picturesque wedding photos to commemorate your big day, forever after.<\/p>\n

4. Skip the wedding planner<\/h2>\n

Who needs a wedding planner when you have your friends and family to back you up for your preparations? Call your mother, the nosy aunts, best friends and your cousins to get their help with your wedding preparations! Just remember to include your future groom\/bride in the decision-making process.<\/p>\n

5. Cook your own wedding spread<\/h2>\n

Have you ever heard of rewang? Traditionally, it means a gotong-royong for a wedding\u2019s preparation. Almost everything is prepared within the family and even the immediate neighbourhood \u2013 including cooking the buffet, setting up the tents, making the decorations and more. Participants even bring their own ingredients to ease the financial burden of the newlyweds!<\/p>\n

The tradition has been somewhat lost over the years, as society now prefers to have \u2018hassle-free\u2019 weddings by utilising services from caterers and wedding planners. But we have to say, it\u2019s a great money-saving idea, so why not bring it back and save on your wedding expenses? Just be sure to pull your weight during the preparations – no one likes a freeloader.<\/p>\n

6. DIY the decorations<\/h2>\n

A pelamin and decorations from wedding planners can cost anything from RM5,000 to RM15,000!\u00a0 We say you save that money for your other expenses \u2013 like a down payment for a house \u2013 and just DIY your wedding\u2019s decoration.<\/p>\n

Get your friends to help out and you can have loads of fun setting up your own decorations! Use recycled items to cut down your cost even further. This is when Google and Pinterest come in handy with thousands of DIY ideas on the internet.<\/p>\n

\n

Go with homemade dishes.<\/em><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n

7. Go easy on the music<\/h2>\n

A Spotify account and a home stereo set, those are all you need to keep the music playing all-wedding-long! Borrow extra speakers from your friends and place them around the dance floor area as a cheaper alternative to hiring a DJ.<\/p>\n

8. Rent your wedding outfits \u2013 or wear what you already have<\/h2>\n

While it can\u2019t be denied that everyone wants to look good on what is possibly the biggest event of their life, it doesn\u2019t mean that you need to splurge thousands of Ringgit on your wedding outfits. Rent your wedding outfits, buy them off the rack, look around for sales items or reuse your mother\u2019s or sister\u2019s wedding dress.<\/p>\n

Wear the shoes and accessories that you already have to save more money \u2013 or borrow from a friend if you don\u2019t have a matching pair. For the gents, find an alternative to a tuxedo if you don\u2019t already have one \u2013 rent it, wear a Baju Melayu or go hipster and wear a pair of khakis, a nice white shirt, a vest (optional) and rock the get up with a bow tie.<\/p>\n

9. Plan ahead for at least 6 months<\/h2>\n

Remember to plan out your wedding at least 6 months ahead, people! Wedding preparations are no joke, and it gets really hectic and tiring, especially when you\u2019re having a wedding on a budget. Delegate the tasks you have on hand to your reliable family members and friends \u2013 you don\u2019t need to do them alone.<\/p>\n

Have a checklist and run through it with your future spouse, and most importantly, remember that you\u2019ll still be married to your beloved at the end of the day, so don\u2019t stress out too much! Breathe. Just have fun and enjoy preparing for your big day with all your loved ones.<\/p>\n
