Relationships take work – whether you’re just starting off together or you’ve been in it for a while. If you want to make it as a couple, you need to put in the effort; it doesn’t just happen. Trust me. I know. I’ve been in marriage counseling for years! Trying to make it as a couple takes effort from both people.

4 Wedding Things Couples Can Skip To Save Money
The Champagne Toast
A view of the Champagne Flutes at A Dinner with Rick Bayless and Daniela Soto-Innes part of the Bank of America Dinner series curated by Chefs Club at Hôtel Plaza Athénée on October 14, 2016 in New York City.
We avoided this because of how hard it’s to coordinate and to be honest, it’s a little over-rated. We much preferred that everyone toast with their favorite drink.
Balloon Backdrops

Balloons are right for a lot of occasions, but I don’t think they are necessary for weddings. The wrong style or color can really make it look cheap.
Personalized napkins and place settings.
WASHINGTON, DC – FEBRUARY 10: Place settings for Tuesday night’s State Dinner for French President Francois Hollande at the White House February 10, 2014 in Washington, DC. The media was also given a tour of the Blue Room ‘to highlight America’s strong, longstanding relationship with France and the unique character of our bilateral relationship by showcasing some of the early French influences and artifacts that have been in the White House for centuries, and can still be seen today.’ (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
Guests will be wiping their faces and spilling drinks on your napkins, and food’s going to be dropped on the place settings. Anything not personalized will be way cheaper.
Printed wedding programs.

Sure these add a bit of glam to the wedding, but they aren’t necessary. Maybe more of a keepsake for Grandma?
