If a man or woman ever intends to settle down, they will either organize or assist in organizing a wedding at least once in their lifetime. Wedding planning may be extremely stressful at times, especially when the goods and services provided by the suppliers are extremely expensive.
Many systems, including the Ayefro App (check it out on the App or Play Store), allow customers to compare all event providers so they can select the ones with the best prices and services based on their budget.
If you have the resources to plan a lavish wedding, why not? But if you don't, you need to watch your spending.

You should not buy your wedding by selling your kidneys.
We occasionally dig our own graves in an effort to impress others. We start our honeymoon as a bankrupt double, so everyone at our wedding is pleased except us. It is unnecessary for a couple to choose to end up in insurmountable debt after their wedding when a well-planned, low-cost wedding is entirely feasible.
Two kinds of people, party goers and a couple who insists their wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime occasion and will spend whatever to make it unforgettable, are practically impossible to persuade of anything.
Everybody wants a buffet at their wedding, but obviously not everyone can afford it.
The first item to reduce if you are serious about having a formal, low-cost wedding is the number of guests you invite.
At least you won't lose your sanity, even though you will lose some wonderful friends. No matter how hard you try, you won't be able to invite everyone to your wedding.
Having fewer guests results in instant savings on food and beverage costs. You can provide your visitors with portioned meat and pastries in place of a buffet.
1. Jewelry : It's not necessary for you to purchase jewelry at exorbitant costs just because it's your big day. I'll tell you what, most of these decorations won't get any attention.
Nobody will be able to tell if your earrings are made of wood or diamonds.
Nobody will be aware of how much your jewelry costs.
Who cares if they did, even then?
I have witnessed several women end relationships just because the man could not afford a specific ring or bracelet.
What counts most is the trip following your wedding day, not whether you wear a 24-karat gold ring or not.
The jewelleries are merely tokens and symbols.
2. Gown: Go for it if you can afford a wedding dress that is incredibly extravagant.
But, if you are purposefully keeping a low budget, you must purchase your gown keeping in mind that you won't be able to use it after your wedding.
The bride's dress cannot be worn repeatedly, while the groom's tux may.
It's like to purchasing a car that you can only ever drive once.
You won't have to spend as much money on the car.
You should only spend a small amount on your gown unless you plan to rent it out occasionally.
Have a local fashion designer hand stitch it if at all possible.
3: a set of shoes
The majority of the things we spend a lot of money on to impress people are rarely even seen by them, which is interesting to know.
Our pair of shoes is one of them. The bride's dress almost completely hides her feet, so nobody can see what's underneath.
Don't show up to your wedding in a pair of shoes that are barely holding on. Despite that, it is unnecessary to empty your bank account in order to get a pair of shoes.
4: Decoration
It makes sense that since your wedding is your big day, you would want the location to appear delicious.
You would be surprised to learn that many people won't notice the small elements you put into your decorations.
Most people might not be aware of the beige or mauve colour of your wedding.
Many people won't even be aware that the wedding had a Jamaican or Black Panther theme.
Allow that decoration to be flawless, but stick to your budget.
5:Photography/videography
In this social media age, photography and videography nearly always make up the largest portion of the wedding budget for most engaged couples.
Pre-wedding, wedding, and post-wedding photoshoots are examples of this.
Some of these services have minimum costs of GHC 10,000; other providers even give prices in US dollars.
6:Venue for weddings
You might be able to host your reception on the church grounds.
For some visitors, especially those who might not be driving their own cars, renting a different place outside the church would be very inconvenient.
In spite of all these drawbacks, it can help you save some money. If the church where you get married has a place to house your guests, go for it.
It reduces wasteful spending.
7: team of bridal stylists
You frequently need to be ready to provide for your friends' clothing if you want them to be part of your bridal party because you can be crashing into someone's monthly budget.
But, keeping a "tight" budget necessitates cutting back on some of these costs.
If you can't get rid of this bridal team, try to persuading them to at least dress themselves.

Ask friends to drive the wedding convoy in their vehicles.
What good are friends, after all?
Using what you have is not a sign of weakness.
Renting a fleet of opulent vehicles is unnecessary... only to be seen on foot the following day.
