Tip 1 of saving money on your wedding is to find an affordable venue. Most people don't know that your wedding reception should cost about half of your wedding day budget. Before all else you need to decide how much you have to spend. Once you know how much you have you will know how much you can spend on your wedding venue. 
When looking for a venue make sure you know what is included and what isn't. This will help you with your budgeting. Do not book a wedding with a reception center that is out of your price range. If you look hard enough you will be able to find a location that you like that also fits in your budget. 
Tip 2 for saving money is to make your own wedding invitations. Buying the materials to make the invitations is much cheaper than paying a professional to do this for you. There are online services that will help you create your invitations on your computer. You can have them printed by these services or by walmart. 
Tip 3 to saving money is to not serve a full meal to your wedding guests. If you have the money, a wedding dinner is amazing but if you can't afford it don't worry about it. You can serve dessert only to your wedding guests and everyone will have a great time. To find an affordable venue go to www.saltlakeweddingreviews.com/aspen-landing-reception-center/.

In this first blog post I thought I would state a quick fact that will help you with your wedding planning. After you send out your wedding invites you should expect about half of the invited guests to show at your wedding reception. This number will very depending on how many guests you invite from out of town. The more out of town guests you invite the lower the turnout percentage. Having said this as you plan your Wedding in Salt Lake it will be important that you schedule your wedding in a venue that can accommodate the number of guests you are expecting. If you plan on about half of the invited guests you should be pretty accurate.
