Even though weddings traditionally take at least several months to plan, many couples find themselves in the position of planning a wedding on short notice. There are many ways to plan a fabulous wedding in very little time, including selecting a less traditional setting for your wedding day, as well as limiting the guest list.
Consider a non-traditional location for your wedding ceremony, such as a public park, beach, museum, art gallery or even your backyard.
Shop for a wedding gown at a discount bridal warehouse rather than a smaller boutique. You will still have a wide variety of dress styles to choose from without the long ordering period.
Trim the guest list. Finding a reception venue for a large number of people usually takes some advanced planning. Renting a smaller room, such as a conference room in a hotel or restaurant is usually easier for a wedding on short notice.
Make your own informal wedding invitations right on your home computer. This will save you a lot time over ordering them from a printing company.
Skip having a lot of wedding attendants. Select a maid-of-honor and best man to act as witnesses. This will help you avoid having to invest in matching bridesmaid dresses and tuxedo rentals, all of which require coordinating schedules for people to make it to fittings.
Serve non-alcoholic drinks at the reception. Not only does alcohol drive up the cost of your wedding, if you are catering in a hall or public area, you need to apply for a special license or permit as well as insurance, which can all be time consuming.
