3 Easy and Cheap Wedding Ideas When You're On a budget

Getting married is about celebrating love, and you can do that on a budget while still having the wedding of your dreams. You don't need to spend a fortune to have your dream wedding. Here are a few cheap wedding ideas that will save you a ton of money on your big day.

DIY as Much as Possible

You can save a fortune on your wedding if you do a lot of the craft projects on your own instead of hiring outside companies. You don't want to over stress yourself by trying to make everything, but give yourself a reasonable amount of DIY projects for the wedding and you can save a ton of money without forfeiting any beauty on your wedding day. You can make the centerpieces, light arrangements, seating charts, and other simple tasks that outsiders will charge an arm and a leg for.

Wedding Sparklers

This might sound like such a random idea, but just picture this: you're walking out of your reception with all of your friends and family holding up glowing sparklers all around you. What an incredibly beautiful moment to have as you start your lives together, and it won't cost you nearly as much as a lot of other, less impressive wedding ideas will. Learn more here about where you can buy some awesome smokeless sparklers for your wedding.

Save on the Venue

Renting out a venue is a huge cost of any wedding, but it's totally unnecessary if you're getting married on a budget. You can easily rent out a less expensive venue and deck out on DIY decorationsins to make it just as beautiful. Or, you can skip out on renting a venue and get married at your home or someone else's home. This allows for an intimate yet beautiful wedding experience that will save you a ton of money overall.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
