Don't Mention the Wedding

When you are purchasing items for your tiny wedding, unless you have no choice (like with the gown), don't mention the items are for a wedding.

Examples:

Flowers--most florists upcharge the exact same flowers for a wedding.

Reception Halls--if you are renting the hall on a pick up and drop off the keys basis, don't mention the wedding and you might just get the hall at a savings. Of course if the hall is also catering, you don't have much choice.

Catering--this one can be tricky, but if you call and order cold cut platters you pick up or food they simply drop off, you may see savings on the exact same items if they don't realize they are catering a wedding.

There are tons more examples. I am not suggesting you not get the best you can get. I am not suggesting you lie or "rip off" your vendors or service providers. But if they are going to turn a reasonable profit at the non-wedding price for the exact same item or service (they are not going to quote a price that loses money no matter what), I see no reason to be charged extra for anything just because it is a wedding you are buying for.

Until Next Time~Many Blessings
