These days, in the era of absolute show-off and huge displays, people tend to go all out during the wedding parties they throw.

And weddings not only rob one’s pocket like anything and leaves one sulking on the meaningless expenses that were made during the exorbitant parties, they also steal away the charm of starting a happy life immediately after. Even a small, intimate affair can become a drain on your finances.

Here, some of our friends who happen to be recent brides, and that probably is the reason they could share the most workable tips, shared their money sharing secrets with us.

Here are 7 money saving secrets that these young girls shared with us to save during wedding parties! which we are sharing with you.

1. “Getting married in a community hall, rather than a banquet is usually half the expense. Find out a decent community hall in your area and make good use of it” – Said Natasha Verghese, Freelance Make-up Artist From Mumbai.

2. “Wedding dresses and other event dresses can be bought from friends who recently got married and have more than half of their stuff lying new and unused, which was worn only once probably. This way you can save half of the money on expensive designer wear.” – Said Mona Rajput, Call Centre Employee, From Navi Mumbai

3. “Me and my fiancé chose to make our own wedding invites by putting our printed picture on them, and decorating them ourselves. This idea clicked with all our friends and they loved the wedding invites too. Plus we saved loads of money that we were to spend on fancy wedding cards.” – Said Shailaja Bhatia, Marketing Researcher, From New Delhi

4. “My parents were adamant on inviting the whole town to my wedding, but I put my foot down and refused to invite people who I did not want to attend my wedding. Especially the relatives I had never seen after my birth. It was absolutely pointless. my parents had to abide by my decision and guess what, the decoration and food expense was almost cut to half.” – Said Mani Arora, Beauty Consultant, From Chandigarh

5. “I asked a friend to do up the decor for my wedding. She was good at it but was not using it as business skill. She did quite an amazing job at my wedding. I saved a lot of money which I would have ended up paying professional decorators, and she got her first major break.” – Said Parvati Menon, Tattoo Artist, From Goa

6. “For the first time I used Etsy, the website, to download and print wedding invitation. Try it, it’s awesome and saves a lot of moolah on wedding invites.” – Said Sarah Ferguson, From Bandra West

7. “We decided to give our food arrangements to a home business run by a group of under-privileged women in the vicinity. They cooked amazing Maharashtriyan food and charged less than half what we would have paid to expensive caterers.” – Said Malvika Shirke, Project Lead, From Goregaon
