Having a small wedding which includes a small budget, too? Here is how:
1) Invitations – do them yourself which includes items such as the save the dates and escort cards. There are many diy kits available including templates that allow you to print from home.
2) Cake – you can still have a 3-tier cake but let it consist of 2 layers of cupcakes or even donuts then have one large sheet cake at the top.
3) The Venue – many people have the ceremony and reception in the same place. This may be your church which has a reception hall. Save big in this area by combining them.

Great budget saving ideas! I especially agree with the venue tip. This also makes more time to enjoy the reception since your guests wont be traveling from one location to the next.
Another great tip is get your guest to take your photos.
