Wedding Budget Hacks: Where to Splurge and Where to Save

Not every part of your wedding needs top dollar. Knowing where to splurge vs. save can create a luxury feel without luxury debt. Here’s how to prioritize spending.

1. Splurge: Photography & Videography
Memories are priceless. Invest in professionals who’ll capture the magic beautifully.

2. Save: Wedding Invitations
Digital invites or simple printed invites are elegant and cost-effective.

3. Splurge: Food & Drink (within reason)
Guests will remember great food. Consider fewer courses or limited bar hours to balance quality and quantity.

4. Save: Wedding Favors
Most favors go unused—skip them or choose meaningful, inexpensive gifts.

5. Splurge: Bridal Attire & Groom’s Suit
Feel amazing in what you wear—but look for sample sales, trunk shows, or rentals to stay under budget.

6. Save: Flowers & Decor
Opt for in-season blooms or reuse ceremony flowers at the reception.
