Make Your Wedding Inexpensive - Not Cheap

So, your getting married, and you are on a tight budget. Well, I have some resources for you.
The first tip I have for you is, get rid of the wedding planner, sorry no way. They cost to much and if you want an inexpensive wedding you have to make sacrifices.

2. The wedding photos. Ok, you want to hire someone to take photos, hire your guest, this is the oldest trick in the book. Give you guest disposable camera, either when the come in the church or at the reception or both. You can get the cameras for little money, but you will have to buy the off-brand ones, if you try to by the name brand ones you will defeat the purpose. The less the camera cost the better, plus you can buy these way ahead, so watch for sales, you will need to figure out in advance how many you think you want. Note: you may be saying that you want professional photos and/or you don't mind spending more money for having a photographer, that is fine, but if you want the photos of you and your new spouse and the wedding party and you just can't go without it. You can do one of two things, either one; you can have a friend take them that is knowledgeable in the ways of digital cameras and Photoshop or you can have the photographer take the pictures but only a few poses of you and your spouse and one pose of the wedding party, everything else let a friend do.
