I remember the days when every weekend so many couples were getting married. It was very hard to find place and vendors to perform the receptions. Couples then started to have their wedding in some of the off months. Now with the economy very slow and many business in need of work, you can rest assure you can find something to meet your wedding budgets. Below are 5 awesome tips for you to save big on your reception and have it look spectacular. You can also use the wedding budget calculator at GroomsOnline.com to give you a great idea of what you can expect on spending and also keep track of what you are spending.

1. Choosing the off-season Choosing the date of your wedding can determine the price you may pay. If you’re looking to save money choosing the right month will be crucial. Spring and summer are very popular seasons to have your wedding. You might want to choose months like October thru early November. Late November can be busy with company holiday parties.

2. Weekdays will Save you Lot$ Choosing a week day for your reception will give you more room to negotiate the price. Monday thru Thursday most vendors are not that busy with receptions or parties which will give you leverage when working out a price.

3. Location, Location, Location Choosing the place to hold you reception will make a big difference. The more popular the location, the more likely they will be booked and the costs will be higher due to the demand. This may take some time but there are many places that have beautiful scenery and cost much less. I got married at a home that was converted into a reception site for wedding. Although it was out of the way, it was situated on a hill over looking the owners avocado farm with beautiful vistas and saved me lot of money. Your church or temple is a great way to save as well as you community center.

4. Negotiate Your Prices Everything has a price and nothing is set in stone these days with the economy acting they way it is. If you don’t ask for a lower price you may never know if you can get one. So negotiate prices with every one of your vendors, especially if you are following tips one two and three.I will say that negotiating is good, remember also you get what you pay for so don’t try to low ball to much, that may offend you potential vendor.

5. Utilize Friends and Family we have some very crafty friends and family that have made favors, decorations and table center pieces for many parties. All the guests seem to love them and we get praise from some vendors too. Some of your friends might have a very cool car that you may want to use instead of limo, so put those friends and family to work and you will save a lot more than you think.

French cuff shirts are for more than just tuxedos. They are a cool fashion statement alone, with a suit or sport coat or with sweaters. A cool groomsmen gift to go along with them is a set of personalized cufflinks.

At groomsonlinegifts.com we looked at a variety of styles. We decided to offer several styles of flat and rounded links that present a clean, classic look while allowing for that bit of personalization that you want for a gift.

This pair of mirror finish links helps to give a sharp, polished and elegant look to any shirt. For the best man or groomsman who tends to wear a silver-toned watch, this pair makes a smooth addition to that look.

Large oval shaped cufflinks are classic in appearance, but in a way that looks good with any type of apparel. Ours have a pillow-shaped head that give them weight and substance without feeling “chunky” when they are worn. We have them in either a brush or polished finish, so you can cater to the personal tastes of each groomsman.

For a pair of cufflinks that will present a slightly more distinct appearance, try this pair of brushed silver cufflinks. We find that the belt buckle shape, flat tone and single letter engraving is different from the norm while still clean and elegant.

For one of the most simple and yet still classic looks, this pair of square brass cufflinks fills the bill. It presents a sharp appearance without too much flash and is great for the man with a preference for gold-tone accessories.

Lastly, we have a pair of sterling silver plated cufflinks. Their classic round shape and beaded edge make a very sophisticated accent to any French cuff shirt and a welcome addition to any man’s wardrobe.

Everyone wants to give the groomsmen in their wedding party a gift that is not only appreciated but something above the ordinary. Of course, any gift you give them will be appreciated, but how do you make sure that the groomsman gift you give is something unique? At groomsonlinegifts.com we believe one of the best ways to make a gift unique is through personalization.

The first thing many people think of is to buy something large and/or expensive. Certainly you can spend a great deal of money finding something unique and wildly different from anything else your groomsman may already have. But does that really mean it will be something that he will appreciate and use?

Not necessarily. After all, if he isn’t much of a fisherman it really doesn’t matter how nice a rod and reel you give him is, does it? So how do you make sure that what you give will be both liked and used without breaking the bank?

Personalization is a great and easy way to do that. Everyone has seen monogrammed shirts and towels and recognized the bit of flair and distinction that they lend to a home. Shirts and towels are not exactly what we think you want to give your groomsmen, but we do have ideas for many more appropriate items. We provide a quick and easy way to research, select and order just the right thing for every member of the party.

Uniquely personal items such as Groomsmen Gifts cufflinks, money clips and shirts are available. There are also gifts such as monogrammed beer pitcher and glass sets that bear the groomsman’s initials but let him share the use of your gift with his friends and family.

Of course, these are just a few of the many possibilities available for personalized groomsmen gifts. For a wider range of options, spend some time checking out groomsonlinegifts.com.
