10 things wedding guests really care
Whether it's an open bar, live band or fireworks, choosing the best elements to add to your wedding day could...
Weddings are one of the most joyous occasions to attend, however the cost of simply being a guest can add up quickly.
Here are NetVoucherCodes' top tips to save money when attending a wedding:
Budget beforehand
If the wedding that you're invited to is a while off, set up an allocated money pot where you can place extra savings until the big day arrives.
Rent an outfit
Weddings don't come round so often, so if you only want to wear a special outfit for one occasion, have a look at a rental scheme or borrow an outfit from a friend.
Split the journey costs
Have a plan in place with other guests before showing up at the venue, if four of you book a taxi together then the overall journey will be cheaper.
Get a group gift
To manage the costs of the gift, getting together with other guests will lead to less cash coming out of your pocket.
Take it in rounds
Instead of going back and forth to the bar by yourself, take it in turns to get a small group of drinks between your guest group. You might get lucky and not have to buy the last round as everyone would have had plenty to drink.
Do your own hair and makeup
There are plenty of tutorial videos online that can help you achieve specific looks for less than half the price
Share a hotel room
If the wedding reception is located at a hotel, partner up with other known attendees to split the costs of a room.
