If you want to create a small intimate wedding, take a look at these Unique & Simple Wedding Ideas on a Budget. When planning a cheap wedding, the biggest advice I can give is to purchase something you can use later. Skip the wedding planner and do it yourself.

How can I make my at home wedding special?

A wedding can cost the average couple $27,000. Couples looking to tie the knot on a budget face a difficult challenge.  One of the biggest savings can be with the wedding venue. By moving a wedding venue from a hall you rent to a backyard venue, Here’s a guide to getting married at home without breaking the bank.

Pull off an at home wedding on a budget with these fun ideas…

Use Items You Have.

The best use of low-budget DIY Backyard wedding decorations is uing what’s around. Walk through your house and take a look at items you have like candles, faux plants, picture frames, etc. Also, ask family and friends if they have items. If you don’t have it and you can use it in your home later, consider a small purchase.

Use Lighting.

The lighting can set the ambiance. Have the actually ceremony during sunset (or if you dare, sunrise.) Set up the backyard with lighting that illuminates signs, trees, bushes, and other things. A small investment in landscape lighting can be an investment in backyard landscaping you can keep for a long time.

Collect Vintage.

What about having an eclectic collection of vintage silverware and plates? Nothing has to match that is what gives it the personal touch. Visit thrift stores, Goodwill, or shop Facebook marketplace for fun plates, dishes, and cutlery.  This might be a great opportunity to collect from your mother your grandmother’s priceless china!

Give a Gift of Ride Shares

Simply put a QR code by the driveway that guests can scan on the way out. That QR code can lead to an Uber Wedding Voucher for your guests. That leads to controlled parking, stress-free driving, and safe driving after a round of drinks.

Get Creative with Entertainment

Before the band comes, you can play these fun Wedding Games for ice breakers and to connect your guests and an intimate backyard venue.

Hire Outside Help.

Scavenger Hunt

This family gathering game is common, however, there are crazy ways to twist it up. Give each team 30 minutes to find all the objects on the scavenger hunt list. Use the included list or make up your own clues. Whichever team finishes first is the winner!

How to Play: There are many ways to incorporate a fun scavenger hunt into a family reunion. Use one of our many scavenger hunt contests or use the rules in this family gathering printable set including finding a penny, taking a photo in a grocery cart, or finding an empty refrigerator box (challenge accepted!) This is silly fun and can be played with each team hopping in a car and going for a set period of time. Also, grab our mall scavenger hunt game too. These make for fun family reunion photos full of character.

Worm Search

Penny for Your Thoughts

Water Balloon Toss

You know the drill. Toss the balloons filled with water back and forth, back and forth.

How to Play: This is a traditional outdoor game that is great for a hot day. Pair into partners and toss a water balloon back and forth, don’t let the balloon drop or you are out. You can change it up by having a list of commands during the game for those that find a balloon toss too easy.  If you love this game, add water minute to win it games too.

Wanna Spoon?
