Weddings on the cheap are all the rage now. So someone asked a bunch of event planners and wedding experts what THEY'D cut out. Here are a few things they say they wouldn't waste money on...

 

1.  Any kind of wedding favor with the couple's name on it. Your dad might use that beer koozie with your name written in cursive, but no one else will.

 

2.  Lots and lots of real flowers. Fake flowers are way better than they used to be. Use real ones for the bouquet if you want. But buying or renting fake flowers for everything else will save you money.

 

3.  A bottle of fancy champagne for every table. The manager of a wedding venue said they dump SO much champagne down the drain. Just let people toast you with their own drink.

 

4.  A big expensive cake. Cupcakes or donuts are a much cheaper option.

 

5.  Liquor. Just go with a beer-and-wine bar. It's cheaper, and your guests will have to really work to get sloppy drunk.

 

6.  Personalized cocktail napkins. No one cares or pays attention to them. Normal napkins are fine.

 

7.  Elaborate centerpieces. Think of the last wedding you went to, and tell me what the centerpieces looked like. You probably can't remember.
