3 Easy and Cheap Wedding Ideas When You're On a budget

Getting married is about celebrating love, and you can do that on a budget while still having the wedding of your dreams. You don't need to spend a fortune to have your dream wedding. Here are a few cheap wedding ideas that will save you a ton of money on your big day.

DIY as Much as Possible

Giphy

You can save a fortune on your wedding if you do a lot of the craft projects on your own instead of hiring outside companies. You don't want to over stress yourself by trying to make everything, but give yourself a reasonable amount of DIY projects for the wedding and you can save a ton of money without forfeiting any beauty on your wedding day. You can make the centerpieces, light arrangements, seating charts, and other simple tasks that outsiders will charge an arm and a leg for.

Wedding Sparklers

Giphy

This might sound like such a random idea, but just picture this: you're walking out of your reception with all of your friends and family holding up glowing sparklers all around you. What an incredibly beautiful moment to have as you start your lives together, and it won't cost you nearly as much as a lot of other, less impressive wedding ideas will. Learn more here about where you can buy some awesome smokeless sparklers for your wedding.

Save on the Venue

Giphy

Renting out a venue is a huge cost of any wedding, but it's totally unnecessary if you're getting married on a budget. You can easily rent out a less expensive venue and deck out on DIY decorationsins to make it just as beautiful. Or, you can skip out on renting a venue and get married at your home or someone else's home. This allows for an intimate yet beautiful wedding experience that will save you a ton of money overall.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
