10 Best Ideas to Have a Budget Halloween Wedding

Filed Under: Halloween, lists, wedding tips Tagged With: Halloween, Halloween Wedding Tips, wedding tips

Halloween is a great time to get married. It’s fun, festive, and unique. You can go all out with your Halloween wedding theme and decor, as well as your costume. If you want to have a Halloween wedding, but you don’t have enough money to do it right, here are the best ideas on how to save money while still having fun:

Budget Halloween Wedding Tips

Choose an Off-Peak Time of Year

You can save up to 75% by getting married during October or November. This is because many people prefer summer weddings because they can have their reception outdoors after dark.

Stay Away From the Big-Name Venues

These venues charge much more than smaller ones, so if you want something less expensive than what they offer, go somewhere else.

Have your Ceremony and Reception at the Same Place Instead of Two Separate Locations

Pumpkins

This will save you money on the transportation cost and also gives guests fewer places to go during the reception itself.

Consider Having a Buffet Instead of Plated Dinner Service

Buffets are much more affordable than plated dinners, making them ideal for couples on a budget. Plus, guests tend to have fun at buffets because there are so many choices available for them to choose from. Moreover, they are a great way to cut down on food costs since they allow guests to serve themselves instead of having servers deliver meals to their tables.

Keep the Guest List Small

Another way to keep costs down is by limiting the number of guests on your guest list. While this may be difficult if your love story involves a lot of people, it’s better than inviting every person in town while still trying to keep expenses under control.

Consider Using Local Vendors Rather Than Hiring an Expensive Event Planner or Caterer from Out-of-Town

Find local businesses that offer services such as catering and entertainment. You’ll save money by not having to pay for transportation or lodging for them, and it will also help your business community.

Choose a Theme that is in Your Budget Range

When choosing a theme for the wedding, it is important that it fits within your budget range. There are many different types of themes that can be used for a Halloween wedding, from cottagecore theme wedding, and autumn theme weddings to the Gothic theme. It is best to choose one that fits within your budget range so that you do not spend too much money on the decorations for the event.

Use Candles Instead Of Lights

Fall Tablescape

Halloween is all about the spooky, so why not use candles as your only source of light? Candles are easy to find at any dollar store or craft supply store and they can be way cheaper than traditional lights. Plus, they add a romantic touch that no other type of lighting can offer.

Serve Seasonal Foods and Drinks at the Reception

Pumpkin pie and cider are traditional fall treats that pair well with Halloween parties and weddings alike. Make sure everyone gets their fill by serving both before dinner starts so guests will be ready to eat when dinner arrives at the table!

Create a Budget-Friendly Spooky Entrance

The key to a great Halloween wedding entrance is a good scare. If you want guests to jump out of their seats when they see the happy couple making their way down the aisle, make sure they don’t know what’s coming. You can do this by creating an eerie entranceway with signs warning them to “Beware!” or “Watch out!” You can also set up fake spider webs and other creepy objects around the entryway to give guests a surprise scare as soon as they enter the venue.

Planning a Halloween wedding is not hard. It is all about your planning and perfect timing that makes a difference. You should do the planning well ahead of the great day. Do not forget to include all the details in your wedding plan, as you are going to be in your dream dress on this day. Keep yourself away from any kind of last-minute rush and enjoy every second of this beautiful activity.
