4. Monday morning wedding This wedding saving money tip is common knowledge by now. Everyone knows you can save money with a Sunday wedding service. Think about how much money you would save if you got married at 6am on a Monday morning--you could provide toasted Eggo's, a cereal bar with family size box of Corn Flakes, and Instant Cofee--The best part is by the time you reach your reception you'll get the lunch specials!

5. Go exploring on your honeymoon. Backyard exploring.

After fishing out a couple pennies on your wedding, you'd be a dummy to spend a couple hundred on an elegant vacation. Stay with the trend: Visit your local Wal-mart buy two microscopes and explorer hats and meet your partner in your backyard. Wow! You never knew so much stuff was going on back here.

6. No need for make up or spas

Think of what really counts the most. Remember the number one saying for appreciating the un-aesthetic: What really counts the most is inner-beauty. And you'd love your bride no matter what she looks like right? Make a bold statement and share this with the world.

7. Bring Your own Food, and something to drink too.

Don't be an impolite host, you don't know what your guest like to drink, and you wouldn't want to make them drink something you don't like, so why not just let them choose for themselves? Put out the memo "Bring your finest bottles of wine!"

8. Marry using Skype or better yet Twitter

It's free, it's easy, and it's so fun. With this wedding saving money tip, you'll double your guest and savings. Before beginning the service though, you'll want to help your ordained minister create a twitter account. Think about it how many people are following you and not to mention your fiance, and you can have your guest sign in on a facebook fan page. Physical weddings are a thing of the past, Social Media Wedding is what's happening now.
