Currently, it is the peak season for tourism during the Spring Festival. For those who are getting married at this time, choosing to go on a honeymoon now is not a good opportunity. Tourist attractions are crowded with people, airfare prices are sky-high, hotels and inns are not cheap, and travel agency quotes remain consistently high.
1. Honeymoon Arrangements.
As the year-end approaches, wedding photography studios become increasingly busy, and actual charging standards also increase. Therefore, there's no need to join the rush; doing so not only lowers service quality but also increases economic costs.
Actually, as young people, you can plan everything yourself with friends and invite them to be your emcees. Nowadays, many young people have basic knowledge of videography and post-production. In such cases, you just need to give out a few red envelopes to get things done, saving quite a bit of money.
2. Group Buying (Groupon).
With fierce competition and some development over time, group buying has now become one of the main ways to save money. Since many people choose to get married during this period, there are especially many group-buying options related to weddings. Newlyweds can participate in various group-buying organizations based on their needs. From customizing wedding dresses, taking wedding photos, purchasing alcohol, invitations, gifts, and booking hotels, almost everything involving money can be part of a group buy.
3. Family and Friends Planning, Emcee, and Photography.
Young people are in the early stages of their lives. If they bear too much economic pressure from weddings, it will affect their marriage and future quality of life. Therefore, try to follow the principle of frugality, spending more effort but less money. After all, the quality of life after marriage is the most important.
4. Group Buying.
Through group-buying methods, wedding costs can typically be reduced significantly without affecting the quality of the wedding. Some high-end group-buying websites do not limit the number of people in the "group," such as Zhongtuan Wedding Network. You can consult and obtain vouchers whenever you need, understand the expenses at the store, and enjoy group-buying benefits.
5. Post-Wedding Photo Sessions.
If getting married during the Spring Festival feels rushed, projects that require more time to complete, such as taking wedding photos, can be postponed until after the wedding. Among the members enrolled in the Zhongtuan Wedding Expo hosted by Zhongtuan Wedding Network, there are many registrants who first got married and then took their wedding photos. This way, the quality of the wedding photos won't be affected by the rush, and you avoid being "beautifully frozen" while taking photos in the cold winds before and after the Spring Festival.
1: Take Wedding Photos in Advance.
As one of the major expenses of a wedding, wedding photos are actually the least restricted by time. As long as you've obtained your marriage certificate or determined the wedding date, you can go to the wedding photography studio to take pictures in advance. Try to choose a time when the studio is not busy. Not only can you negotiate prices, but due to fewer people, photographers are not overwhelmed, leading to better service quality. Of course, when selecting specific wedding photo packages, there's no need to choose the most expensive ones. Instead, choose ones that fit within your budget. Just leaving behind some beautiful memories is sufficient; there's no need to overspend.
In recent years, the cost of weddings has been rising step by step. Under the crisis of inflation, economic pressures have increased sharply, making it desirable for many newlyweds to have a simple yet economical wedding. Earning money isn't easy, so you need to spend wisely. The period around the Spring Festival is the peak time for weddings. Why is this?
Firstly, many men and women of marriageable age work outside and do not choose to hold their weddings where they work. Therefore, they take advantage of the opportunity to return home for the New Year to hold their weddings in their hometowns.
Secondly, because the pace of life in Guangzhou is fast and there are few holidays during regular times, holding weddings around the Spring Festival allows for more vacation days. Typically, the legal Spring Festival holiday lasts seven days, and with wedding leave and personal leave, it usually totals about half a month.
