Culture: 8 Tips for a No-Frills Wedding


Whether you're eloping at the court house; or getting hitched in Vegas; here's 8 tips for a simple, no-frills wedding.


  1. Do a destination. With the money being saved from not having a big bash; you'll be able to have the wedding somewhere with a little more significance.
  2. Go potluck. If you're having a small reception after a private ceremony, have the guests each bring a separate dish.
  3. Go to happy hour. If you want to ditch the reception all together then you can still have your friends meet you at your favorite bar for happy hour.
  4. Get services instead of gifts. Friends and family would probably jump at the chance to forgo pricey gifts, and give services (hair, make up, photos, etc.) instead.
  5. Take a chance. Without 200+ guests to worry about, you, your betrothed, and your closest friends and family members can take an adventurous outing together.
  6. Skip the ball gown. It'll save time, money, stress, and there'll be no fittings. You can even find a cute one-of-a-kind outfit.
  7. Be courteous. For the friends and family who aren't there for the nuptials, send hand-written notes expressing your love for them so they don't feel completely left out.
  8. Be spontaneous. By not planning a wedding, and spontaneously getting married you can still have an awesome, memorable day without any stress.
