There were quite a few that I learned about from watching this video. Cutting off the bar and offering coffee sticks out the most to me and I think that is a great idea!

I so agree Cavin. I see it all the time. For my wedding, I am getting a Wedding Planner/Coordinator. I am not nor anyone else I know will be attending and working the wedding. I have seen too many brides not enjoy their wedding at all as a result of working, attending, and try to be present for their own wedding. Too much.

I had a Sunday wedding myself and I'm a big fan of Sunday weddings! It saved us around $1,500 on the venue rental alone. We also repurposed our ceremony floral piece for the reception, it was a no brainer! Also highly recommend hiring a coordinator/planner, well worth the investment and she was able to suggest wonderful vendors for the vendors I still needed to hire for my wedding day! Great video 😊

I agree about switching up which day of the week you get married. My fiancé and I are getting married next year and we saved $3,300 by choosing to have our wedding on a Thursday. It's a bit more unconventional, but we're expecting to have about 60 guests... of which most is close family that would be able to make it regardless of the day. And since we're getting married in an off month, we got an additional $2,000 of the peak Saturday price. If it weren't for those two "concessions", we wouldn't have been able to afford our dream venue!

That wedding dress though 😍😍😍

My plan is to have a Sunday brunch wedding-so kind of a 2-for-1 with these awesome tips! 😅 Thanks for this video, Cavin!

Really helpful tips! Thank you, Cavin!

Excellent video, thank you! I would definitely agree with the Champagne toast, don't do it with champagne. Lots of people either surprisingly don't drink free champagne or lots of people slam it, and then don't have anything to drink for the toast, anyway and it just turns out awkward and confusing for people.

Definitely consider a non-Saturday. Saved $500 for doing a Sunday on a long weekend. And my bridal party is for 2. My belief is that your best friends shouldn't be surprised when you ask them. I've definitely been surprised to be asked or invited to a wedding, and I've declined because I didn't feel comfortable.

As far as champagne goes, might as well just go with sparkling apple cider. My fiance's mom won't touch alcohol, even at a wedding toast. I also know recovered alcoholics who would need a non-alcoholic option, or twenty-year-olds who are the designated driver and I've been to weddings where the staff did not have a champagne alternative available for these people. As for online RSVP, your guests might appreciate not having to make a trip to the post office as well. When one of my friends got married we barely had time to go to the local wedding on a Sunday (first year teaching truly is hell....), so we were happy to send an email to RSVP and go online to order gifts off their registry.

My favorite part of the wedding the champagne toast!

We're saving so much money by using a city building as a venue, they provide the chairs and tables and security, so we don't have to rent them and the venue is so nice we can cut back on decorations to save , we're only spending $2,200 on the venue

Super helpful video! You’ve convinced me to only have signature cocktails :) I’m also skipping having a bridal party altogether because mine would be 20+ people if I counted all my loved ones... Someone would have been offended no matter how I sliced and diced it!

I can’t even think of 20 guests. Lol😂

A website ... for a wedding? Whatever happened to just ... calling people on the phone or texting? And who makes a whole website just for their wedding?
