Affordable Pre-Wedding celebrations
Perhaps one of
the most popular and best loved wedding traditions is the
pre-wedding celebrations like the wedding shower and bachelor
parties. Usually these parties are supplied by the mother of the
bride or the best man etc. Some couples find that they would rather
host their own either out of necessity or desire.
Really, it does not matter who throws the party because in the
end, it should still be affordable. There are ways to make this
happen.
1. Throw a jack and Jill party which combines the bachelor and
bachelor party together. If it is hosted at a home, your guests can
bring their own alcoholic beverages.
2. Have your bridal shower at your own home providing home
cooked food.
3. At your bridal shower purchase decorations that can also be
used as parting gifts such as personalized candles etc.
4. Celebrate your wedding at a local pub or tavern. This will
give you the benefits of having all of your friends with you and
none of the financial responsibility. Basically this night is no
different than spending an evening with friends to celebrate a
promotion, only the focus is on your wedding instead. Many couples
will do this together instead of a bachelor/bachelorette party.
5. If you or a family member have memberships at a local
legion, you can often convince them to let you use their halls for
you bridal shower.
