The average American wedding cost is about $35,000.

That is more than half the yearly median income! If you are getting married this year, here are five ways you can cut wedding costs.

Tip #1: Schedule smart

Saturday is the most common date for weddings, since everyone has the day off and most churches aren’t available on Sundays. Consequently, venues are often more expensive on Saturdays. Instead, pick another date that offers those benefits. Your special day can be the day before a holiday, or on the Sunday of a long weekend, like Labor Day. Your guests will still have time to enjoy themselves, and you’ll save as much as 15 percent on the cost of your venue.
