Save the most on catering costs with a smaller guest list<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Your catering and drinks expense is possibly the category where you can save most by cutting guests: these days you can easily spend \u00a3250 per head once you account for canap\u00e9s, a seated meal, drinks, equipment, and staff \u2013 and that\u2019s not even considering extra alcohol for the evening party.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Flowers<\/span><\/h3>\nYour floral budget won\u2019t need to cover as much either, because you\u2019ll have many fewer guests sitting down to dinner; filling a single table of 6-8 guests with flowers, candles and tealights can easily add up to \u00a3300 per table.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Stationery<\/span><\/h3>\nYou\u2019ll also be saving on stationery by sending fewer save-the-dates and invites, as well as ordering fewer menus, table numbers, place cards, and thank you cards.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Beauty\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nHair and make-up fees are based on bridal hair and make-up plus per-person costs depending on how many bridesmaids, mothers, and additional guests have beauty services.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Having a cosier wedding means you can have a smaller bridal party, or you can get rid of the idea of bridesmaids altogether if it\u2019s a tradition that doesn\u2019t feel right for you.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Cake<\/span><\/h3>\nA single-tier cake that serves 10 is a very different investment from a three-tier cake that serves 100; you could be jumping from \u00a3150 up to \u00a31,000+.<\/p>\n
