The Fabulously Frugal Bride

Your wedding can be a vortex of uncontrollable debt or a memorably splendid event of style and savings. The difference is the way finances are handled from the beginning, and knowing how to prioritize your expenses in how you want your event to look and feel.
Some simple ways to save:
Cupcakes – Cute, trendy, and no fork necessary. Leftover cake can be difficult to split among people willing to take leftovers home or a self contained treat for later, hard choice here? Many bakeries specialize in both wedding cakes and cupcakes priced between $3 to $6 a serving. Have a cake for you to cut as a top of the display or for pictures if you wish, cake is not recommended for saving for your one year anniversary, remember fresh is best.
( Starbucks has tasty cupcakes in a variety of flavors during seasonal times, check with one to see if they can order in large quantities for your event needs. Local company, reasonably priced under $3 each )
