There’s no getting around it: [tag]weddings[/tag] are expensive. Just about everything you’ll need is going to be expensive. That said, brides, grooms, and their loved ones often get stuck with more than they bargained for when it comes to the price of the cake. Because you don’t purchase a lot of [tag]multi-tiered cakes[/tag] that serve hundreds of people, you may not know exactly what to look for. Here are some helpful hints.

First, it’s good to know how the baker arrives at his (or her) price. In general, he will charge a base rate for each serving, depending on how complicated your cake is, and multiply that by the number of servings you need. Servings can be priced anywhere from as low as $2 to as high as $10, but $4-$6 is fairly standard.It’s important to remember that the price per serving can go up as the cake gets bigger. This means that a cake designed to serve 400 people is likely to cost more than twice as much as the same basic cake designed to serve 200 people. It’s simply more difficult for the baker to stabilize, frost, and transport the cake. You probably shouldn’t trim your guest list to reduce the number of servings, but it’s still something you should know.

According to a recent VISA survey, two-thirds of American couples over spend on their wedding day. Yikes! Here are a few wedding planning tips and hints that may keep you out of the poor house.

1. Edit your guest list. Usually, your first attempt at a list of invited guests is way too big. Take a closer look at the list and make cuts. Who can you exclude from the list without any unwanted drama? Who will definitely come and who is a maybe? Who will bring a gift, who won’t? Just joking
2. Cupcake wedding cake. A fairly new fad is to have cupcakes as your wedding cake. This is usually less expensive than the traditional three or more tiered wedding cakes. Plus you can have more of an accurate count for how many cupcakes you would need to order. With a traditional [tag]wedding cake[/tag] it is more of a guessing game.

3. Choose your day wisely. Usually brides don’t like to get married on a weekday, but if you absolutely need to save a few bucks you should. Venues will usually charge you much less if you are scheduling a wedding on a weekday or on a Sunday.

4. Dry wedding. If you need to save some money, try having a dry wedding with no alcoholic beverages. You may not get to see your crazy uncle dance that night but you will save that money from the drinks.
