25th Silver Wedding Anniversary Celebration on low budget. Here’s how?
· decide the number of visitors – limit to family members and few friends.
· make your own Wedding Invitation – make it very simple, maybe on a ¼ size of bond paper place the what, when and where data of the wedding. This is how our wedding invitation looked then
· Make your own give aways – Don’t buy readymade giveaways. They are expensive. Be creative. You will be proud of it because you made it yourself. We made our give aways. Look for small items that are on sale. We were lucky because we were able to buy a tea cup which cost only P3.00 pesos, a flat candle which cost only about 90 cents and placed with ribbons and tags. The total for each give away after computing all the costs is not even P7.00. This is our give away.
· For gowns and barongs, there are plenty of for-rent attire dress or gown shops. Be practical. Look for shop that offers big on low budget.
· For make-up artist, look for experienced people who offer their services on low budget. There are many of them. Take referrals. If someone in the family knows how to apply make up. Then seek her help. It will lessen your total budget of the affair.
· For bouquet and floral decoration in the church. Don’t go to expensive floral shops. Floral shops situated in the markets offer less with good service. Try to compare prices too.
· For videos and cameras, don’t settle for less. Look for experienced studios that could give you quality shots. Remember this is a very memorable day. But you still have to consider the price. There are plenty to studios that offer services with very reasonable price. Always compare.
· The location of the church and reception must be considered also. Why? Because if you have no car and no friends or relatives to offer a car, you will consider hiring two (2) or more cars for the affair. When the church and the location of the reception is very near it is likely you will hire or borrow only one car. However, it is best that you borrow a car from a friend or a relative to save money on your part.
· Wedding Choir. Request the church choir if you are low on budget. However, if you have financial support you can hire a wedding singer. The decision is up to you both. In our case we had to look for a choir group because the church choir is not available at that time. We did not regret though because they have the most beautiful voice. I felt our silver wedding ceremony was very solemn.
· Motif. The color motif of the silver wedding anniversary may not always be silver. You can combine colors. In our case, our color motif is silver and pink. There is no limit to color choices, one may still use gold if he or she wants it.
· Make a draft of your renewal of vows or your recommitment for each other. Memorize by heart so that when you are made to say it in front of many attendees you wont forget it. When Tommy and I made our recommitment or renewal of vow we were both excited and overjoyed that feelings are hard to express and words are not almost heard.
· Foods is best served on buffet style. Health is of utmost importance. So the more and varied fruits served the healthier.
