Why city folks are late to get married? (II)

Steps to save for your wedding:

  1. Get a wedding planner: You have so much to do to prepare for a once-a-life-time event. Get your friends(preferably just married,without kids) to plan for your wedding. I bet you can save a lot!
  2. Wedding Cards: Get from your hotel/restaurant if you are not planning to have a special wedding invitation card. Otherwise, get a friend irom digital printing industry to help you out.
  3. Wedding dinner: try to negotiate not to settle for full payment before the wedding.
  4. RSVP: Many Malaysians do not understand what RSVP means. Instead of explaining this to them, just call up everyone you invited for your dinner two weeks before to confirm on their attendance.
  5. Wedding buffet (if you have any): remember any "chap fan" auntie or uncle who sells very nice chap fan. Get them to cook for you and what you need is just to buy/rent some very nice caterer utensils. You can save a few thousands for this. My buffet for 150 people with 8 dishes only cost RM800. Get your wedding planner to do this,:).
  6. Honeymoon: Ideally, go for a one week honeymoon in a nearby island (eg Langkawi, Bali, Phuket). There's is always AirAsia,:). You will enjoy and relax a lot. If you wish to have an overseas posh trip, plan it during MATTA fair.
  7. Flowers: Get a florist from outskirt( Klang, Kajang) who is equally good to assist you in decoration. You can easily save a few hundred bucks.
  8. Relatives: If you need to accommodate relatives from far, get a bungalow for a day or two. You will usually pay less compared to hotels.
