Serving Alcohol? – There are venues that allow you to bring in your own alcohol. Whether it is the wine, champagne or Spirits. Many may ask for a corkage fee. Even at that, you still may be able to keep a few bucks in your pocket if you find your favorite beverage at a great discount price. Take a trip to the Club Warehouse or any discount alcohol vendor when they are having a sale and stock up.

Flowers - If you order flowers for your ceremony, consider arrangements that can be used at the reception site as well. Designate a family member or friend to transport them to the reception site. Your banquet manager will normally assist in setting them in prearranged locations.

Wedding Cake - If you decide to order more than one flavor, make sure the banquet servers are aware of this. So that they will cut into more than one layer at a time and allow for choice. Make sure that they don’t offer guest more than one Slice. Guest get very excited about cake and may want a slice of both, which may cause a problem if you don’t have enough to get around to your entire guest.

Wedding Album - If you are a do-it-yourself kind of person - Find a photographer that offers a package that includes a set of proofs of your wedding day and negatives to keep.

By having the negatives will allow you more control when ordering reprints. This can save you a lot of money and will allow you to afford to put together a photo album for the parents or someone special to you.
