Previously, I have stated the three important wedding planning tips on how to save. I discussed some aspects on your wedding that you can opt to consider slashing out from your overall wedding budget. This article is actually a continuation of the tips on how you can save on your wedding. These are the following:

Skip the save the date cards

Save the date cards started as a way of giving advance notice of a couple’s wedding date to out of town guests who would need to make significant travel arrangements, such as booking flights, in order to make it to the wedding.

Lately, though, these fun little announcements have made it into the regular list of wedding planning details, adding yet another unnecessary expense for those working within a tight budget. Unless you are holding a destination wedding, where specific flights for a large group of people must be booked, in addition to hotel rooms, this detail can easily be cut. And even if you are planning a wedding in a far off place, e-mail is a great way to give friends and relatives a heads up as to the travel plans, without the cost of printing and mailing separate save the date cards. However, sending some to your guests is an appreciative gesture of thoughtfulness. E-mails at times are unfortunately ignored by many people that can lead to them not knowing your wedding announcement.

Take a long, hard look at the menu

Planning your wedding menu should be done with careful and realistic consideration as food will likely be the single largest expense on your big day.

Venues often come with pre-planned menus which include a salad and/or soup course, the main course with accompanying sides, and dessert. Tell your caterer or venue manager what you can afford per person for food and drinks. This will allow the caterer to present all of the menu options within your price range, rather than showing you things you really can not afford.

Take into account the things you and your mate feel are most important regarding the meal. Perhaps you two do not care for a lot of appetizers, but want a substantial meal, or vice versa. Your caterer should be happy to work with you to optimize your menu to not just what you can afford, but what you prefer to spend more on and what things you do not really mind cutting.

Assuming you’re getting a wedding cake, an easy cut from most venues’ pre-planned menus is the dessert. By cutting the extra dessert, you can either ask for that cost to be taken off the price, or use it to pay for something else you would like to add. Do this type of trimming and rearranging with all aspects of the food and drinks until you come to the menu you feel best about and that you can afford.

Overall, throwing a wedding on a budget is about prioritizing your most important needs for a perfect day, and then finding ways to cut from other places to make sure your top priorities are met. Remember, this day is about you and your mate, not impressing or pleasing anyone else. As long as you keep that in mind throughout the ups and downs of planning, you are sure to create the wedding day of your dreams, and on this day, that is all that matters.

What the average woman deals with when it comes to dating is complicated but it isn’t nearly as complicated as what is really going on behind the scenes on the biological and subconscious level for both sexes.

You make dramatic shifts in the quality of your interactions with men if you can learn to use these things to your advantage.

Men are looking for a type of fitness level. The physical signs of this can’t be ignored. They actually fall into two categories your overall physical “togetherness.” You can be a overweight but still have your “look” polished and you will pass this test.

The second category that has to do with your physical fitness points more to your how healthy you are. Men will automatically and sub consciously pick up on cues such as skin tone, how straight and clean your teeth are, and other signs that indicate overal health. You do not have to be a super model to be in good health and make healthy lifestyle choices.

The last factor has to do with your overall outlook or you might call it emotional maturity or emotional fitness level. Someone who has a bright attitude towards life is certainly a type of fitness that men will love to see. You can be as strong as an ox but not able to deal emotionally with the world very well – this will make you a very unfit mate and mother.

Women can use these things to their advantage by taking care of their phyical appearance, which most women do. I see plentiful advice that falls under this category on the magazine shelves all the time.

Advice to help women become more emotionally fit is less common.

Confidence is a term thrown around a lot rather loosely, but how do you become confident when you are not already?

There are tricks for doing this that trigger attraction in men such as being unpredictable in a way that really catches a man’s attention. When this happens he automatically places you in the “I want to know more” category. The great thing about this is that its beyond his control. He can’t think himself out of this when it gets triggered.
