6 Sure ways to save money and still have your dream wedding

Although many of us dreamed of our wedding when we were young, we sure wouldn’t have been able to process how much the big day would cost. It’s only after we’ve become adults that the true cost of a wedding really hits home. Going into debt because of a wedding isn’t exactly the most romantic way to start a marriage, so read on for suggestions to help you save money on your wedding

1 Don’t overspend on engagement ring

Do what works with your budget and a stone with significance. There is no hard-and-fast rule to buying an engagement ring, so don’t sweat over forking over two months’ salary if both of you can’t afford it. Keep in mind that you have more wedding expenses to battle. Focus more on the significance of the ring instead of the price tag. Perhaps she’ll be happier with an engagement ring that has her birthstone, or maybe she wants a man-made gem or a pre-worn ring with history. There are plenty of wallet-friendly options out there, so don’t limit yourself to the never-been-worn traditional diamond ring!
