One of the most popular questions I hear during the planning process in this recession is
'how can I cut the most money without sacrificing quality?'
The answer to that is: cut your guest list.
The most expensive line item in your budget is directly connected with your guest count. The average wedding costs around $80 per person for food/alcohol/gratuity. You learn very quickly, that the smaller you can make the guest list, the more money you will save.
Many couples are having a small, quaint ceremony and reception (100 people or less) around midday, then are meeting the rest of the friends etc out that evening for a post reception. This way you still get to party and celebrate, but on someone else's tab.
Another perk to having a day wedding is less food and alcohol!
