Boujee on a Budget
Thinking of getting hitched in AZ? You can plan a gorgeous event, with all of the bells and whistles, without the worry of an empty bank account or accrued debt. How is this possible? you ask; the solution is to take advantage of summer deals offered at The Cottage in Gilbert. Our venue offers smart savings, especially when booking between June 10th – August 31st. We know how to do a wedding right, and we know how to help you stick to your budget.
Guilt free guest list
So, we all have heard the phrase that less is more. Granted, you might face the temptation of creating a guest list that matches the length of your latest CVS receipt, but the truth of the matter is that every guest is an expense to you. If you have not thought of this before, the shock of it may not sit too well at first. If this is the case, feel free to take a deep breath, count to ten, and think about it again. Now that you are focused, understand that this is the reality of the situation. Each long lost relative, friend of a friend of a friend, and acquaintance from your church congregation on your guest list is a culprit of an expensive wedding.
Instead of feeling guilty that you cannot afford to invite ALL of your followers to join in your special day, think of it as an exclusive affair for those who have been there for you and your partner through the thick and thin of your relationship so far. These guests make your day more meaningful for you, and they will be the ones who fully appreciate the intimacy and romanticism of this type of event. When working on narrowing down your list, start by reducing it by 20%. If you still need to trim it down after that, go down an additional 20%. This will help you go through the process in smaller chunks, which makes it more doable without any feelings of guilt or dread.
