Little Ways to Save Money
When going to a venue to decide where your wedding or special event should be hosted, consider what your package includes. Before putting down your payments, consider the following questions: Are you already paying for linens? Do you like the cake? Are you finding yourself looking at outside resources for things you want to change about the venue you are about to use? A helpful hint is to use all of the things they provide that you’re already paying for, then add your accented touches to your event for a cheap price.
An example of saving money on things you don’t like that the venue provides in packages, is bringing in simple things of your own.

Here is an example of personalizing your wedding cake. Here at Bobak’s Signature Events, we provide a pastry chef to design your wedding cake. This bride brought in fabric of her own to add to the cake. This way, the cake matched the theme with items that the chef does not provide. Instead of going to a different pastry chef outside of the venue, you can save money by bringing in your own touches.
Another thing to remember: Making your cake too fancy will eventually result in you not eating it at all. Too much drapery or fondant will make the cake inedible. Keep your cake simple and classy.
On Your Marks, Get Set, Say I Do
Love to run? Need a fun wedding theme that suites your hobby? Make your wedding fun and add little touches that make it more personalized for you and your spouse.
One way to add simple things to your big day that make it personalized is to use bib numbers for table numbers. Instead of your traditional 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. numbers, throw in fake bib numbers with your personalized wedding date on the bottom along with a giant number.
Do you enjoy going on runs or working out together? Make a signature drink that includes a fruity Gatorade and Shnapps and name it after you both. It’s a fun way to incorporate what keeps you going.
Refreshments
Having an event on a hot summer day? Provide your party with easy and cheap refreshments. While sitting out in the hot sun, bring out simple things such as freezer pops to cool the guests down. Freezer pops are simple and fun for everyone! They don’t spill, so don’t worry about getting your outfits ruined! For fundraisers, customize some recyclable water bottles with the organization you’re fundraising for! You can never go wrong trying to please your guests on a scortchering hot day!
Reuse or Sell
A great way to get rid of all your wedding decors is to sell it back online, or purchase used materials that are in great shape! Recycle Your Wedding is a great website to find all of these goods. You can sell your unused items from your event, or you can buy decor that is sold for cheap from other brides. Some of the things that are available have not been used yet. Many people buy things that they end up not needing in end, so they sell them for cheaper. This is a great way to save money and add party favors or any décor that you are missing.
