Paint balling

Assault courses

Theme parks

Mountain biking

The only limit on your honeymoon destination is your imagination and budget!

Due to the current economic slow down, many bride and grooms are opting for either a longer engagement to get their finances in order or just to save for their perfect day or to marry on a budget or even both! this seems to be a trend at the moment so here are a few tips to help have the day you want on the budget you have!

Opting for a wedding at home (if you have the means) can save thousands as well as giving you a more personal day

Make your own invitations and favours

Give the bridesmaids a description and colour of dress you would like them to wear and let them choose their own on a budget

If on a tight budget, get a family member to do a BBQ for the evening food, everyone has a relatiave who is a wiz on the BBQ!

Everyone knows someone who is a keen photographer, and with most computors and printers today you can have as many copies as you like at a fraction of the cost so get bugging your friends!!

Limit your numbers, we all know its nice to see that long lost friend or relative at weddings but most people will understand that money is tight, an evening invite may have to suffice at the moment.
