Happily Ever After Comes with a Price

According to TheKnot.com, a wedding planning Web site, the average cost of a U.S. wedding is between $18,000 and $21,000. These costs can increase dramatically on a regional level. National spending is estimated to be over $120 billion per year with a projected growth of 6.5% by 2009. That being said, it's no wonder there are so many Web sites, self-help books and wedding consultants willing to help brides learn how to stay on budget. A great resource, loaded with savings essential for the big day is the Entertainment Book.

The Entertainment Book has been around for 45 years offering a broad array of savings on local dining and entertainment, shopping and traveling. What often goes overlooked is how the savings available can help to cut the costs of wedding, honeymoon and after-wedding essentials. There are plenty of savings and discounts available to help ease the financial burden of getting married.

Almost as soon as the future bride says, "Yes," thoughts of reception halls, rehearsal dinners, decorations and photographers start running through her head. Unfortunately, these wedding day necessities come with a price. To help with these expenses, the Entertainment Book holds a variety of discounts on flowers, jewelry, gifts for attendants and parents, savings on travel, car rental and luggage. In fact, you can even plan your honeymoon at www.entertainment.com after registering your Entertainment Book.

Coupons can also be used to preserve your wedding dress and create keepsakes that will make that one special day last forever. Saving money and still having your fantasy wedding is not an oxymoron. The Entertainment Book can help in many little ways that can make your wedding day priceless, or at least a little cheaper.
