2. Trimmed Guest list:

Since you plan to have the wedding abroad, you need not invite literally each and everyone for the wedding celebration. It is your wedding day and you get to decide who all you really wish should be a part of this special occasion. Invite only those people whose presence you deem is absolutely necessary for the wedding celebration and cut down those people who are not really as much close to you.

3. Combined honeymoon:

Instead of choosing an entirely different wedding location, you can have your honeymoon at the same location. This will help you save on not only the traveling expenses but also help you save up on the hotel bookings as a longer stay at the same hotel will ensure a healthier discount.

4. Timing:

Choose such a time for the wedding that the destination has an off season going on. This will help you save up on extra cost that the vendors and hotels and wedding organizers charge during the time when the place is buzzing with tourists. During the off season, the owners are anyway low on profit and give you a better accommodating discount!
