How to Plan a Wedding: Tips From The K.i.s.s Wedding Guides

Trying to figure out how to plan a wedding without spending ridiculous amounts of money or turning into one of those freek-case bridezillas?

Let's face it, wedding planning is stressful, expensive, and time intensive. There's no way to get rid of ALL of the stress or bring the costs down to zero.

BUT, there are some things that will make it a little simpler and a little more affordable.

Below are 4 simple tips that will help you keep your budget and stress levels under control.

{1} Wedding Negotiation Tactics Make Saving Easy

Cheap wedding planning is easy if you learn how to negotiate. Wedding vendors will automatically bloat costs because it's easier to get a bride to pay those hefty price tags.

I'm not saying that every wedding vendor is out to rip you off - helping to make a bride's wedding day perfect holds a lot of responsibility hence the heft price tag. BUT, that doesn't mean that you can't negotiate for something better!

Techniques like playing stupid and waiting silently afer asking for a discount are 2 very simple ways to negotiate. Being genuinely kind - however obvious it may seem - is another tactic that works quite well!

{2} Be A Steap-ahead For Reduced Stress AND Savings

One of the biggest mistakes a lot of brides make is in the steps to planning a wedding. Instead of planning ahead (FAR ahead) brides (and grooms) wait till the last minute to buy things and make decisions.

This often leads to rash decisions made under pressure (which usually cost more). Or worse...non-decisions that can lead to disapointment and regret.

Instead, fill in the slow gaps of planning (usually mid-way through planning) with menial tasks like stamping envelopes, printing labels, or even buying lingerie.

{3} You Need More Than Just a Wedding Ceremony Checklist For A Relaxed, Stress Free Wedding Day

Prepare for your wedding day with a wedding planning checklist + in order to avoid anxiety and confusion on your wedding day. Instead of running around with your head cut off make the best of your maids, groomsmen, family and good friends. They WANT to help. Make that easy for them (and you!).

Put together a little-black-book with all the important details and tasks (along with who they're assigned to) so that others can handle any problem thrown their way...or know who to go to for help. And while they deal with all the "crap" which is inevitable at any wedding, you can sit back, relax and fantasize about the next wonderful 50+ years of blissful wedded love!

{4} Understand The "Rules" To Avoid Planning a Cheap Wedding

In an effort to save, many brides fall into that "cheap" wedding planning trap. If you need to plan a 'cheap' wedding that is both special and memorable (for all the right reasons) then you need to understand the tactics, rules and strategies.

Alot of us are lured into believing a lot of the inexpensive ideas we find online. The truth of the matter is that alot of those ideas are anything but cheap.

For example - DIY invitations are not always the cheaper option. And, alot of the time you can get designer dresses for cheaper than alot of lower quality gowns. The secret is in knowing how the industry works.

Don't just take things at face value. Do your research and calculations before making any decisions - big or small.
