Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease)
February 26, 2008 - In uncertain economic times, couples are not as willing to splurge on wedding costs. They are looking for ways to have that special event for less. That is the inspiration for a new website, http://www.wedcheaper.com. The comprehensive site provides insider tips and product suggestions on catering, flowers, dresses, and just about any other expense that comes up. Website founder, Leila Morris said, “http://www.wedcheaper.com is dedicated to helping brides and grooms plan a cheap wedding that doesn’t look or feel cheap.
“It all gets down to being a smart consumer and not leaving your brain at the door when the wedding vendor tries to sell you a fantasy. There are so many extras that vendors try to push that won’t make a difference to you or your guests. Just saying the word ‘wedding’ to a vendor instead of ‘party’ will jack up your costs!”
The site focuses on creative alternatives, such as buying your wedding flowers at Costo or having your reception at a restaurant that you reserve just for your event. When asked what is the single biggest way to save you’re your wedding, Morris said to limit the guest list. “With even a reasonably modest catering fee of $30 a plate, just 50 extra people will cost you $1,500. At my own wedding, we only had 75 guests and it was such a warm and fun event because so many people knew each other.” What about parents who push you to invite a lot of people? Morris said to give both sets of parents a set number of guests they can invite and ask them to pay extra if they want to go over that number.”
