5 Wedding Splurges You Can Skip

May 3, 2016 by Ariane Leave a Comment

Whether it’s your wedding videographer, makeup artist, or your guest books and menus, WeddingMix has your back when it comes to inexpensive substitutes for even the smallest details for your wedding day. Don’t miss these 5 Wedding Splurges You Can Totally Skip:

1. Garter

Forgot to purchase a garter? Put a spin on this tradition and make your own! It’s super easy to attach the elastic to a pretty piece of lace – just hit up any local craft store for help : )

2. Guest book

Make your wedding guestbook more special by having guests sign their name on their birthday on pretty calendar purchased from a bookstore. Bonus: never miss another birthday!

3. Wedding Emergency Kit

Sure, those little kits at bridal boutiques are super cute. But $25 for a little pouch of hair clips and aspirin? C’mon. Skip this purchase and dollar store DIY your own kits with your ‘maids! It’s a super fun (and easy) diy project to pump your wedding party up days before the wedding.

4. Fancy Favors

Your guests don’t want that artisan soap – and you don’t want that artisan price tag. Better to kick it old school and mix some of your and your groom’s favorite tunes as a personal wedding favor. It’s sure to hit a high note with your friends.

Here are 11 more unique wedding favors for under a dollar.

5. Wedding Video

Right, because who wants to relive their vows, first dance and dad’s toast on every anniversary? The instagram feed of wedding photos should be enough. I thought the same thing. We were going to dress up every anniversary and recreate our first dance, so we’d always remember it.

Anniversary one: business trip. No first dance.

Anniversary two: childbirth. No first dance.

Anniversary three: we forgot how to dance.

Whether you hire a professional videographer, get a DIY wedding video, or use some combination of the two, having a wedding video isn’t a splurge; it’s the one way you can truly remember your special day every year.

If budget is holding you back, just use the FREE WeddingMix app to collect all your guests’ amazing photos & videos. Then, professional editors turn your favorite moments into a super fun wedding video for an affordable price. Super budget-friendly and totally personal!

We can’t give you garter lace – but we can give you the affordable wedding video you deserve!
