"Hi, I'm Becky Sosa, with Stress Free Events, and I'd like to talk about money saving wedding ideas. There are different ways you can save money at your wedding. Some of it's in your decor. Some of it may be in your venue, and there's even ways to save to save money with your with your musicians. First thing is to look at your family and your friends and see who has certain talents in your family that they might be able to offer for your wedding. Do you have someone who knows how to play guitar? Do you have someone who already knows how to sing? Ask them for that to be their gift to you for the wedding. Maybe you have a friend that's really good with flowers, or someone who's really crafty that can help you with invitations. The other thing is your wedding venue. Look at options like parks and wildlife centers. They might have a an area that you can get married at that will cost you a lot less than a traditional venue that's set up specifically for weddings. Also, there's nothing wrong with a backyard wedding. If you have a family or friend that has a wonderful backyard. Maybe it even overlooks a lake, or an ocean, or a river area. Take the time; visit their home, and see if it would be appropriate for the your size of wedding. You can always have your wedding there. Again, they can offer this as their gift to you, and you save money on your wedding."
