Hey there, lovebirds! 👋 Planning a wedding is one of the most exciting—and let’s be real, occasionally stressful—adventures you'll embark on as a couple. Whether you’re dreaming of an intimate celebration or a full-blown extravaganza, one thing’s for sure: weddings can get pricey. But don’t worry, I’ve got your back! Here’s how you can spend your money wisely and still have the wedding of your dreams in 2025.
1. Prioritize What Matters Most
Before you dive into the world of dress fittings and cake tastings, sit down with your partner and talk about what really matters to you. Is it the jaw-dropping venue? A show-stopping band? Or maybe you want everyone to leave with Instagram-worthy photos (more on that later 😉).
Once you’ve nailed down your top priorities, allocate a larger chunk of your budget to those things. The rest? Keep it simple. You don’t need a 12-tier cake if cupcakes are more your vibe!
2. Be Smart About Guest Numbers
It’s tempting to invite everyone from your coworkers to your third cousin twice removed. But remember, every guest adds to your costs—food, drinks, favors, chairs… it all adds up. A smaller, more intimate guest list means you can splurge a little more on what matters most without breaking the bank.
3. Timing Is Everything
Did you know that the time of year and even the day of the week can impact wedding costs? Saturdays in summer are peak wedding season, which means premium prices. Consider a Friday or Sunday wedding—or even a winter wonderland celebration—to take advantage of off-peak discounts.
4. DIY, But Don’t Overdo It
Pinterest makes DIY look like a breeze, but let’s be honest: some projects are better left to the pros. Pick a few things you can genuinely enjoy making, like personalized favors or simple centerpieces, and leave the rest to experts. You don’t want to be gluing table runners at 2 a.m. the night before your big day!
5. Invest in Memories That Last
Here’s where I get a little biased (but hear me out). One of the best things you can do is invest in creating and capturing memories. A good photographer and videographer are musts, but why not go a step further?
Enter the photo booth. Not just any photo booth—one that makes your guests laugh, lets them take home quirky keepsakes, and gives you a digital album full of candid moments. At Box Photo Booths, we’ve spent over a decade perfecting the art of fun, unique photo booth experiences. Trust me, your guests will love it—and so will future you when you look back at those goofy snaps.
6. Keep It Personal
At the end of the day, your wedding is about you and your partner. Spend your money on things that reflect your personalities and love story. Whether it’s a live painter capturing your first dance or a late-night taco truck because tacos are your thing, these personal touches are what your guests will remember.
7. Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
Finally, a little nugget of wisdom from someone who’s seen hundreds of weddings: don’t let the tiny details stress you out. Guests won’t notice if the napkins are ivory instead of eggshell. What they will notice is how happy you two are.
So, there you have it—your guide to spending your wedding budget wisely in 2025. Plan smart, stay true to yourselves, and focus on what really matters. And if you want to add a touch of fun that guests will rave about for years, you know where to find us. 😉
Happy planning,
