Smart Ways to Save Money on Your Wedding

Weddings can get expensive. But if you plan it wisely, it can easily be done on a budget.

Here's a lowdown on how to plan your wedding on a budget:

Reception

1. Shorten the guest list--limit it to just the most important people in your life. Doing so will not only help you reduce the catering cost but also there will be fewer invitations to print and centerpieces to buy.

2. Plan it during off-season

3. Keep your ceremony and reception in one place—this will cut down on the traveling time of vendors who you pay by the hour.

4. Opt for bigger tables so that you need fewer centerpieces and tablecloths.

Wedding Decor

5. Do pick flowers that are in season

6. Limit your choice to just two types of flowers.

7. Find interesting ways to decorate--use seashells and fruits--this will reduce the number of flowers required.

Invites & Favors

8. Save on postage by getting a single page invite.

9. Don't plan favors for each guest instead, give one per couple.

10. Email your “save-the-dates”

11. Get creative and design the menu and escort cards.

5 Discount Shopping Hacks To Save Money This Holiday Season

What's better than saving money? Follow these simple money-saving tips that are effective and easy at the same time.

1. Add the Emails in Checkout extension in your browser

Should you pathologically Google coupon codes before any online purchase, this can save you a lot of time (and money). Grab this Chrome browser expansion to streamline the whole process of looking for and implementing coupons. Sit back since it automatically moves through codes till it locates the best one, and applies it instantly to the cart. This hack alone has helped save over a hundred dollars in one go. Seriously, it is a game-changer.

2. Abandon your cart in the middle

It turns out that this behavior can be rewarding. Retailers are eager to flip abandoned carts into purchases, and therefore it will often prompt an automatic discount voucher to be sent straight to my inbox. These discounts are usually legitimate site-wide, instead of only for the abandoned things.

3. Create another email account for shopping-related emails

Getting to zero inbox often means eliminating many promotional emails. Instead, migrate all of your promotional and retail emails into a separate inbox. Doing this won't only reduce clutter but will also make it a lot easier to spot deals and offers.

4. Get additional discounts using gift card exchanges

Another smart trick is to get gift cards at a discounted price from sites such as Raise, Gift Card Granny. Do check these sites before shopping--the discounts might not be huge but getting gift cards with 15%-20% of face value is a good deal.

5. Act like you are leaving

A fake-out could be equally as effective online as it's in real life. Some websites are so eager for your business that just moving your mouse towards the top of the browser over the address bar will prompt them to provide you with a discount immediately.
