Budget adjustments are a typical part of the wedding planning process. It's always helpful and worthwhile to find little ways that will help you save money on your big day. Even if you're saving on little expenses, they might just add up to be a heavy amount that you'll get to keep in your pocket!

1. If you are having a seated dinner, opt for a no-choice entree. There are two reasons for this: One, it will save money because the kitchen won't have to double up on everything, and two, it is a great way to reduce waste and food that ends up in the garbage. Simply make sure that your caterer has options for any dietary restrictions- Lauren Fremont of Loli Events XO.

2. Skip the champagne toast! The truth is that most people won't drink it and you'll be pouring money down the drain. Instead, allow guests to toast spontaneously with whatever they like to drink - white wine, beer or your Uncle who only drinks Scotch. That doesn't mean you have to forgo it altogether...in fact you should still have it available on the bar and during tray pass should somebody love bubbles - Sasha Souza of Sasha Souza Events.

3. Brides are bypassing paper escort cards for more practical and personalized seating list options," says Gabriela Schreiber from Beso Weddings & Events. Instead, consider a framed seating chart to list guest names and table assignments. Add a special message so that it also serves as a guest welcome sign. After the wedding, the chart may be displayed in your home and serve a memoir of your wedding day and all who celebrated with you - Grabriela Schreiber of Beso Weddings & Events.

4. This is one of my best big impact, low cost design tips for all my clients: Lighting, lighting, lighting. It will add a WOW factor to your reception without breaking your budget. Even if you only add up-lights around the room, it will make such a difference in the look and feel of your wedding. The difference will be night and day - Amy Mancuso of Amy Mancuso Events.

5. Don't feel the need to invite everyone with an "and guest." Think of what you are paying per person for your wedding - all costs including your dress. This could be anywhere between $400-$1000 per person. If you don't personally have a first and last name for all guests, they really should not be invited - Renny Pedersen of Bliss Weddings & Events.
