Answers To Two Common Questions…

I get different variations of two questions so often, that I’m going to address them both quickly.

1) What if she has a boyfriend?

MY COMMENTS:

Say “Next” and find yourself a woman that doesn’t have a boyfriend. I personally don’t think it’s worth the hassle, energy, or effort. Plus, I don’t like to be the guy that ruins relationships. And I personally don’t like to date women who have no integrity (think about it). So just find a girl that’s single… and chances are that someday soon the one you like will be single… and you’ll be more attractive because you’re dating other women.

2) I have this girl that’s been a friend for 47 years, and how do I get her to feel attracted to me?

MY COMMENTS:

Start making fun of her more, tease her about things, and let her know the details about the women that you’re dating. Call her less often, and MOST IMPORTANTLY… if you’re planning on getting together with a friend, be ready to risk the relationship forever, as involvement often leads to problems which damage relationships for life. Much better in most cases to find someone new…

***QUESTION***

I have a question. There’s this girl that I really like, and she tells me that she just wants to be friends, and I was just wondering, what can I do to make her change her mind?

>>>MY COMMENTS:

This is a great question, and I get it a lot. I think of this as a much different question than the above, as it’s usually something that can be fixed. Here’s how: If most of the women that you meet are telling you that they want to be “just friends”, then it means that YOU’RE DOING SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM ALL FEEL THAT WAY. The good news is that if you’re doing something to make them feel that way, then you can start doing something different to make them feel ATTRACTED to you instead.

You’re probably not going to be able to do much for the ones that are already telling you that they want to just “be friends”, but here’s what to do in the future:

STOP ACTING LIKE A “FRIEND” WHEN YOU FIRST MEET THEM!

If you act like a “nice, friendly guy” then a woman is NOT going to feel attracted to you. What do I mean by “nice” and “friendly”?

I mean don’t give her too many compliments, don’t act shy and don’t smother her with attention. Don’t call her every five minutes. Don’t talk with a tentative, weak voice. Don’t go far out of your way to be accommodating too early. Don’t tell her that you have feelings for her before you’ve gotten intimate with her. DO tease her.

DO act Cocky & Funny around her. DO end phone conversations and meetings first. DO act a little bit too confident. DO use The Kiss Test early on in the relationship. DO speak with strength and confidence.

Are you with me?

If you’re getting a common response from most of the women you meet, then the common denominator is YOU and the way you’re acting. So keep working on it until you get the results you want.

***QUESTION***

I am a good looking athletic guy. When single I have never had trouble getting dates. I use the cocky, funny and mysterious rap. I have been in and out of a relationship with the same wonderful and challenging woman for nine (I know its ridiculous) years. I know that I want to spend my life with this woman, but she has lost her interest and me and says she thinks of me as a brother. She complains that I am not touchy feely enough, but then rejects me when I try to be so. I am so confused by what she says and what she means. I know that I lost my edge and she knows that I love her unconditionally. I know that she fell for the cocky guy and said that she wanted to turn me into a teddy bear. I tried unsuccessfully to do that for a while and now that I want to really do it and think that I actually could, she does not want it from me now.

My neediness and smothering have become a burden to her. But it seems unnatural and insincere to play games “hard to get” or try and make her jealous. Obviously, over nine years a lot has happened and there has been pain and growth on both sides. What can I do to both excite her and bring back the spark, but also love her honestly for myself and for her? I know she loves me, but how can I help her to fall in love with me. Please help me. I do not want to lose her.

Confused Reader

>>>MY COMMENTS:

First of all, remember that relationships are not logical, cause-and-effect situations that adhere to the laws of physics. Most often, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for what is happening (My goal is to help men to understand what’s going on…).

If you’ve read my book and other newsletters, then you know that I believe that women usually SAY that they want one thing (a nice, stable, considerate guy) but that they are ATTRACTED to something else (a challenging, confident, funny, hard-to-get, unpredictable buy).

If you want her to be interested in you, then you should probably do a few things:

1) Stop calling her.

2) Start dating other women, and let her know about it.

3) Act Cocky & Funny when she calls you.

4) Play hard to get… end conversations first, don’t call her back, etc.

5) Stop acting so nice and sensitive. I know that some of this stuff might sound like mind games, but you have a couple of choices: Be more interesting and become more attractive to her, or keep doing what you’re doing, and keep making her run. I hope this helps.

***Question***

How do you find out if a girl is available? You seem to talk to women that you just met. How and when do you find out if they have a boyfriend or a husband. If I knew how to get past this part I know I would buy your book.”

>>>MY COMMENTS:

Would you believe that one of my all-time very favorite questions is “Are you single?” If I’m interested in a girl, I’ll just stop, look her in the eyes, and in a casual tone say “Are you single?” If she is, she says “yes”, and if not, she says “no.” Sure, a woman will sometimes lie, but it’s such an unusual question, they usually answer honestly. If I get a yes, then I just say “Great, do you have email…” and go into the “3 Minute” technique you’ve read about in my book or other newsletters.

The key here is not to ask like you’re afraid, nervous, etc. It has to come across like you’re asking what time it is. Imagine that you’re asking your best friend what time it is… what tone of voice would you use? It would be cool, casual, and straightforward. Try this one, you’ll like it. Now go buy my book and learn what to do after you get the numbers!

***QUESTION FROM A WOMAN***

Dear David D.,

You are right on (regarding how to completely turn a woman OFF). So tell me… if someone is smothering me, how can I turn HIM off?

I can’t stand it. He’s calling me pumpkin. He got to tell me he loves me, every five minutes (I don’t respond). He’s constantly in my face. He thinks I like it when he grabs me every five seconds (I’m disgusted!! And I say so!!!!!!!). He thinks he’s moving to my new town with me (not invited – not even close). It somehow escapes him when I tell him, no.

He even insists on carrying my cell phone from car to door! He knows I hate it but he takes it right out of my hand because he believes he “should” do that for me.

I think he’s intelligent enough, but a psycho when it comes to me. I have only known him six weeks and by the third day, he was asking me to move in (NOT).

My friends have told me to run. I would but he’s perfectly fine except for the attention he pours on me. If there’s something I could do to curb this, I would. He’s not listening. I’m constantly plotting to avoid him because of this. He’s driving me completely insane. I can’t stand it. PLEASE HELP!!!

L.

>>>MY COMMENTS:

First of all, have him go to:

doubleyourdating.com and get a copy of my book. No, really.

I’ve included this because I want to make an important point: THIS GUY THINKS THAT HE’S BEING A PERFECT GENTLEMAN, AND THAT WHAT HE’S DOING SHOULD BE MAKING HER FEEL ATTRACTED TO HIM.

But because he’s doing what makes logical sense instead of WHAT WORKS, he’s causing this woman to feel repelled to the point where she’s “constantly plotting to avoid him…”

Here’s the recipe for success:

9 parts teasing, playing hard-to-get, acting Cocky & Funny, and 1 part being nice. If that doesn’t work, decrease niceness to 1 part in 20.

In the beginning of a relationship, a woman is FAR more likely to feel ATTRACTED to you if you are NOT smothering her with attention.

As far as your situation is concerned, I would seriously tell this guy to get my book, and to stop acting like a wuss. Good luck.

***QUESTION***

Hi David,

I read your ebook and it’s truly helped me very much. I’ve become more cocky and funny and from time to time I’ll pattern or tell stories to add more dimensions. And it’s worked very well.

But I have a question for you. I’ve observed that most, if not all, of my successes come unplanned or unexpected. The ones I’ve told myself to consciously work on all in some way ended in some disappointment. What’s your take on this? And a more general question for you. What do you think to you are the key factors to success (meaning achieving a goal)? much thankx.

A.

>>>MY COMMENTS:

As far as success in general is concerned, read “Think And Grow Rich” by Hill. It’s all in there.

As far as your successes coming “unplanned”, I have some thoughts…

You mentioned that you’re acting more Cocky & Funny in general. If you embody the qualities that are naturally attractive to women, then THE CONTENT DOESN’T MATTER. You can talk about anything, and it will work. I’ve found that I can make women feel attracted to me now just by teasing them and busting on them. I have women ask me out without them knowing ANYTHING about me…

You see, if you have an agenda, other people can usually sense it. They pick it up in your subtle body language.

When you’re teasing and acting Cocky & Funny, a woman says to herself “This guy obviously isn’t just trying to pick up on me, because he’d never say some of these things if he were…”

And the more you do it, the more fun it becomes, and the more you don’t have an agenda… and the more attractive you become. Keep up the good work.

And remember: Be ATTRACTIVE, NOT JUST INTERESTING.

***COMEDY EMAIL OF THE WEEK,
The longest sentence I’ve personally ever read (and it was longer before I edited it!***

hey David I love what you do to help all of us guys out there your the best and I would like to share a success story well see I have a girlfriend who I am going out with and I admit I am a player and I can get alot of girls but its mostly from your help that I am so successful see this girlfriend of mine I have broken up with her three times and she keeps coming back to me and I like her and I dont want to break up with her but by doing so she gets scared and realizes what she has lost and I take her back but one time when I broke up with her and I got this thing where I can kinda read chicks minds and I know what they want and I knew she wanted to kiss me so I did the kiss test, after awhile she said you know thats a turn on then I said really I kept looking into her eyes and saw her looking at my lips so I grabed and I kissed her thanks for your help but I also need your help with something else there is a girl at my school who is really hot but she is like two years older then me… I notice that she glances at me alot… but I dont know what to do and how to talk to her cause… shes always talking to her friends or shes with them and I cant go up then cause shes busy and she is the only one girl I cant get, what do I need to do my friend said I should look deep into her eyes and give her alittle smile while I walk past her but I need to know if thats a good Idea cause I dont want to mess up and not get her so please help me out thanks man your the best…

>MY COMMENTS:

Go to English class more… I had to stop reading and take nine breaths while editing your question! lol…

OK, if I were you, I’d walk up to her and say:

“Hey, I don’t have time to talk, but do you have email?”

If she says yes, then get it, and email her this:

“Hey, what up? I’ve heard that you’re cool, and I think that we should be friends. Write back.”

Then tease her a lot… she’ll love it.

If that doesn’t work, then write me another 25 line sentence and I’ll see what I can do.

***QUESTION***

I am not tall and I am not short. I’m 5′ 7″ with an athletic build. Sometimes I see women whom I consider very attractive that are taller than me. From my past history I have noticed that MOST women do not want to date men shorter than themselves. In many cases women want to date men considerably taller than themselves, taller than I am.

Is there some strategy to getting past the height thing. I know confidence can conquer almost all but I have been turned away so many times by a taller woman that I don’t even try anymore. I am not attracted only to taller women, I just come across some, just like any other woman, I would like to get to know and possibly ask for a date.

J.

>>>MY COMMENTS:

This is a great question! Here are my thoughts…

I have a friend that is about 5′5, and he is ALWAYS surrounded by hot women… he even has a reputation as being the guy that always has ten hot women with him every time he’s out.

I am currently dating a woman that is taller than me (she’s the single most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen in my life, and yes, she usually prefers taller men).

I also have another friend who’s about 5′6 or so that only dates models and women who look like models (and yes, they are often taller than him).

What’s the deal?

Here’s what I think you should do: Make it her problem instead of yours.

If I meet a tall woman that I think is attractive, I will immediately take the mindset “I don’t usually like women that are taller than me, but I’ll make an exception for this one.”

Then I figure out how to communicate this to her…

I might start talking to her, then say “Well, at first I wasn’t going to come over and talk to you because I don’t usually date women who are taller than me… but I’m glad that I talked to you, because you’re fun…”

YOU HAVE TO COMMUNICATE THAT YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S MAKING THE EXCEPTION! Or, if you want to really give her a hard time, you could make her laugh and have fun with her, then say “Well, it’s really too bad you’re so tall…” then give her a hard time and mention how if she were only a few inches shorter you’d ask her out…

Are you with me? Don’t imagine limitations for yourself, and don’t let her limitations be yours.

And if you’re reading this and saying “Well, this isn’t my problem”, realize that this can be used in ANY situation where you think that a woman has a certain “type” that she’s attracted to….

The Fourth of July is just around the corner. Why not celebrate the holiday at a barbecue or a fireworks show with that special someone you’ve had your eye on for some time?

How can you make it a memorable evening and the beginning of something more lasting? if you want to make a great first impression leading to more dates with her, follow these tips.

1) The ‘Golden Rule’ is to ask her out at least a week in advance. People’s calendars fill up quickly, especially for holidays and special events. However, if you’ve just been invited somewhere yourself and it’s OK to bring a new friend, it’s not too late to call her (do it NOW though!). Tell her exactly how this invitation came about and that she’s the chosen one!

2) While e-mailing her may be tempting, it’s best to pick up the phone and call. Using the phone and reaching another person, or at least leaving a message on their answering machine, is more personal and a classier way to ask a potential date out than an email.

3) On the phone, be specific about what the event entails and when it starts. This shows that you’re respectful of his/her time and are organized and have planned this thing out.

4) If she says yes, start planning the details. If you’ll be taking her to a friend’s barbecue, make sure your friend is OK about you bringing a guest. Don’t let a surprise foil your evening once you two are there, like finding out your friend was playing cupid for you that night and ’surprising’ you with a date!

5) Think about presenting her with a small gift when you pick her up. If you don’t know her well yet, stay safe with a bouquet of flowers or balloons or some chocolates rather than a glass of wine (maybe she doesn’t drink) or jewelry (too personal for a first date, even if it’s inexpensive).

6) Mind your manners on the date. Introduce her to your friends and make sure you don’t ignore her by getting into a long discussion with a buddy about last week’s game. Remember that, unless she knows most of the people there, she probably feels somewhat nervous about socializing with a bunch of strangers and will appreciate your introductions and a certain amount of watching out for her.

7) When you take her home, don’t act too eager to get invited into her home. In fact, it’s often a good idea to take the initiative to tell her good night at the door, that you had a great time (if that’s the case!), thank her, and leave. Leave a little mystery. Whatever you do, don’t say you’ll call her if you have no intention of doing so. Even so, be sure to thank her for her time.

If things did go well, call her in a couple days and tell her you’d like to see her again and set another date, this time for just the two of you.

Good Luck and Happy Fourth!

If your newfound love has asked you to attend church, temple or other place of worship unfamiliar to you, you probably have lots of questions: “What do I wear? Will it be obvious I’m an outsider? Will I have to stand up and identify myself as a visitor?” But most of all you’re probably wondering, “What does this say about our relationship?” This is definitely more complicated than when you had to pick out your third-date restaurant.

There’s no doubt about it, the interfaith date is a big step. And it either means that he’s serious about you or serious about his religion. Or both.

Take a Step Back.

This is a great time to evaluate how much you like this guy. If you say “yes” to accompany him to his place of worship, you’re also saying “yes” to him—which could mean exclusivity or even a serious commitment. If that’s what you have on your mind, great. If not, you may need to speak now or forever hold your peace.

Something else to consider are your own feelings towards religion. Dr. Gilda Carle, author of Don’t Bet on the Prince says, “This guy’s presence in your life could be a terrific catalyst for you to jump-start a deeper and more grateful mindset for all the things you have going for you. Remember that relationships are not as much about the other person as they are about your own growth.” So even if you don’t decide to convert, it could still be a good learning experience.

Study Up.

Speaking of learning, brushing up on his religion before you go to his place of worship might make you feel more comfortable. “Homework always helps,” says Dr. Carle, “It shows that you care enough about him to invest some of your time into getting to know him better.”

Once you start reading, you’ll see that there are plenty of quick reference books on interfaith dating. That means you’re not the first girl to stress over the church invitation. Jennifer Block Martin, co-author of What to Do When You’re Dating a Jew says, “[We] broke down all the Jewish holidays into crib sheets — what it is, when, how long it lasts, where (home or temple), why, other names for the holiday, level of importance, food, props, and what to bring.” If you pick up a handy book like this, you’ll save time and your sanity.

Dress to Impress.

“The first time I went to Christmas Eve mass with my boyfriend’s [now husband’s] family, I ended up being totally over-dressed,” says Martin. But being a bit over-dressed is definitely better than showing skin. So, first try asking your man what you should wear. Then, since most guys never really know, just pick out the most conservative outfit in your closet.

Open your Mind.

Brooke K. of Los Angeles has had her fair share of interfaith relationships. “From experience,” she says, “I’ve decided that it’s best to seek out a partner who has similar spiritual beliefs, so that there’s no more Sunday confusion.”

Sure, if you meet someone who worships the same god as you, it definitely makes things easier. But can a couple with different religious beliefs find a common aisle to walk down? Dr. Carle says, “It’s not mandatory that a couple share the same religious beliefs, but it is mandatory that a couple share mutual respect for each other’s beliefs. Respect in the religious arena tends to spill out into all other arenas. And respect is the main secret behind successful relationships.”

Have a Little Faith.

Be ready because once you’ve done the interfaith date, you may have to make bigger decisions about where the two of you will spend your weekend mornings. Maybe he should give your place of worship a try. Or perhaps the two of you could come to some sort of religious compromise. In fact, finding a place of worship together could strengthen your relationship. The bottom line is, if religion is important to one or both of you, it’s gonna come up. Sure, it’s a sticky subject. But you got through that third-date restaurant decision: You’ll get through this too.

If you’re with two women, ask them how did they get to know each other?

Where do you like to shop for clothes?

Where do you like to go on vacation?

“What’s your favorite romantic restaurant…Where is it located?” (Later you can ask her to meet you there for a lunch or dinner for your first date).

“What kind of man are you attracted to?” (Her answer can give you a clue on how to act around her to get her interested in you).

Where did you attend school?

“Have you been to any good concerts lately?’ (Also, find out who her favorite groups are so you can ask her out when they come to your area).

Have you been to any good movies lately?

I love your hair, where do you have it done?

I love your lips, they look so soft and kissable.

“What’s your favorite perfume?” (Remember this so you can give it to her as a gift).

“What are your favorite cars?” (Hopefully it will be your car so you can ask her to go for a ride).

What are your career goals?

Would you care to celebrate a special occasion?” She will ask, “What’s the occasion?” You reply, “Meeting a special lady like you.

You have one of the nicest smiles I’ve ever seen.

I know these are all common and simple questions and comments, but they will keep the conversation flowing and keep her entertained.

After awhile, with practice, you will develop your own script to use on women that works real good to charm, entertain, and get them interested in you.

Trying to find a woman if you’re a busy guy can be a difficult challenge. If you work long hours and don’t have a chance to get out much, then many of the normal dating avenues are not readily available.

That is why online dating has become an incredible resource for many busy guys.

But the one problem with online dating is there are too many choices. It seems like every day there are a number of new online dating sites. As a result, it’s important to know what you’re doing when using an online dating resource.

Online dating is not a scientific process. Instead of following a specific formula, you have to keep trying different things till you find something that works for you. Once you find a service and type of profile which brings a lot of successful dates, you know your actions are working.

In order to help you get started with online dating, here are three easy steps to follow:

Your first step is to choose the right dating service which will help you find the right kind of woman. No matter what type of woman you’re looking for, you can find her on an online dating service.

The best part of online dating is there are websites which fulfill all sorts of tastes and interests. For instance, there are sites professionals, religion, ethnic dating services, age and sexual preference. By going to a site which caters to your specific interest, you can easily find that special woman.

When you find the right online dating service, it’s important to create an interesting profile. Now when you have an online profile, you should make sure to include a great picture of yourself. Since pictures are the first thing a woman sees, you need to take the time to select one which shows you in the best light. You might want to have a professional picture taken of you.

In addition to having a quality picture, you have to create a profile which is interesting and also demonstrates a humorous nature. You can increase your chance of success by crafting an online dating profile which demonstrates a unique profile.

Your final step is to start making connections with women who find interesting. All you have to do is send them introductory emails and find out if there might be a connection.

My advice is to be yourself and not worry too much about making a good impression. Just remember to be polite but also work at getting to know each woman.

If you follow these three tips, you’ll discover it’s pretty easy to find interesting women from an online dating service.

This article discusses the three steps to locate interesting women using an online dating service

Are you having trouble meeting and attracting women? In addition to discovering chickmagnet101.com/meet-women34.html online dating tips, there is a lot to be learned about how to attract women! Just take a look at Scott Patterson’s FREE ebook: chickmagnet101.com/meet-women34.html Seduction Secrets…Revealed! to receive top secret advice on how to meet and attract women.

Let’s face it, your friends know that you and your partner are an established couple and you need another hot water jug like you need a hole in the head. Why bother with a Bridal Registry or, indeed with a Honeymoon Registry, when they are fully aware that what you really need at this time is hard, cold cash. And why not be up front with it and say so.

It’s an undeniable fact that, apart from a few people who really hate shopping, guests like the idea of giving a couple something concrete; and enjoy having their thoughtfulness and generosity acknowledged. And money, valuable as it is, simply doesn’t cut it. It has taken decades to acclimatize guests to the idea of a Bridal Registry. It may take couple more decades to make plain dollars as romantic as a traditional gift which a guest can admire before handing it over to the couple concerned.

Honeymoon Registry is a sort of transitory step where a guest parts with money, but is encouraged to feel that he or she is providing the bride and groom with a gift. The gift being the Honeymoon itself.

How does it work? The Honeymoon Registry is made into a concrete gift list by making the Honeymoon a categorized entity. Instead of the Honeymoon, a holiday for the bride and groom, it’s an airplane ticket, it’s two nights at the hotel, it’s a massage, it’s a candle lit supper, it’s a night out at the opera. In short, the Honeymoon becomes an event that has been cut up into small segments and guests can decide for which segment they are prepared to pay.

As in the case of a Bridal Registry, all courtesies are observed. Each guest receives an acknowledgement and thanks for the gift they’ve given. This might be automatically generated by the provider concerned. Other providers might choose to inform the couple as the gifts are purchased and it is the couple who send the thank you note.

Here are some simple, fairly inexpensive date ideas for those of you who wish to add a little romance to your relationship:

1) A picnic in the middle of your living room, with a nice bottle of wine, candles and the music of your choice.

2) A candle lit dinner in your own backyard, patio or terrace. Use the stars as your backdrop and the candles to create intimacy.

3) If there is a river or lake nearby see if there is a company that does champagne river or boat tours. As your guide relates the local habitat, you and your honey can snuggle under a blanket and share a toast to your relationship.

4) Picnic in your local park or at your local beach. Enjoy feeding each other finger foods and fresh berries.

5) Call your local culinary school and see if you can hire one of the chefs in training to cook for the two of you. There prices may be more reasonable than a dinner out, plus

1)you don’t have to worry about how much you drink

2) the mess is cleaned up for you

3) you can slip into the bedroom and into your lingerie, while he tips your chef and sends him or her on her way

The first day of your marriage is your wedding day. Obvious fact? Maybe. But what’s not so obvious and something that we often forget, is that our wedding day really IS the first day of what we hope will be a long and happy marriage. Many times, the foundation for that marriage is set right on that day. The reason for that is because everything is magnified on our wedding day. Every word that’s said, every action that’s taken. The last thing you want to do on this special day is say or do anything that’s going to mess things up. But things happen.

The photographer comes late. Or he’s a real pain in the behind bugging you every ten seconds for a photo. Maybe you’ve got a headache from all the excitement. Maybe the caterer screwed up the menu. Maybe the limo broke down on the way to the church or the reception. Maybe the weather is lousy. Maybe it’s that time of the month. The number of things that can go wrong to put a damper on your wedding day are just too numerous to get into. But the worst part of these potential problems is how you react to them. More importantly, it’s how you react to them to your spouse. This is where problems start.

Well, there are ways to keep these problems from becoming real problems later on down the road. Again, things that go wrong on your wedding day get magnified because of how big a day it is. On a normal day, most of these things wouldn’t matter much. But today is different. That’s why the following tips are so important.

For starters, don’t blow things out of proportion. A nuisance photographer is not the end of the world. He’s just doing his job. The weather is totally out of your control so there’s no point getting upset about it. The caterer screwing up the dinner menu is something only you and your spouse will know. The guests have no idea what they were supposed to get so don’t worry about it. You can professionally approach the caterer after and ask for a partial refund because of the mistake. Your guests will still have had a good time and you will have saved a few bucks.

The most important thing about the day, should something go wrong, even if it’s serious, is that it’s not something that your spouse wanted. He or she is just as upset about it as you are. So don’t take it out on them. This is absolutely the worst thing you could possibly do. Lashing out at the person you just married can leave a lasting impression on them, possibly for the rest of their life. Again, this day is magnified so much because of the importance we place on it. In reality, it’s really just the first day of our marriage, not to minimize our wedding day. It’s just so often we do blow things way out of proportion. These days are the ones where that is easiest to do.

These two little tips can very well mean the difference between spending the next 50 years in wedded bliss or ending up before a judge in six months.

There’s an old saying. “Don’t sweat the small stuff…It’s ALL small stuff”.

Keeping costs within budget is a struggle for every bride, so here are five top tips guaranteed to keep you on track.

Tip 1 – Trim the guest list

Keep the guest list down to just the people who really matter to you. This will reduce your costs as well as allowing you to lavish more food and wine on each person.

Tip 2 – Cut your alcohol costs

The largest portion of any wedding cost usually goes on food and drink. You can reduce your alcohol bill by hosting a daytime event, as people tend to drink less during the day. Alternatively, choose a BYO (bring your own) venue so you can supply your own alcohol at bulk-buy discount rates.

Tip 3 – Decrease the cost per head

Choose cheaper meal alternatives like chicken or pasta. You might also like to check which local delicacies are in season, as these are often much cheaper than you would normally expect. For example if you’re marrying in an Australian coastal town you’ll find seafood is much more affordable than it is in a large inland UK city.

Tip 4 – Limit your reception guests

Another way to cut costs is to invite everyone you know to the ceremony, but only close friends and family to the reception afterwards. This will let you enjoy a large ceremony with all your friends whilst limiting the cost of food and drink.

Tip 5 – Take the cake and tea option

If you’d rather celebrate with everyone but are seriously short of cash, choose a beautiful old church or historic ceremony location and keep the festivities simple. Invite all your friends to the ceremony and then to the church hall or local gardens afterwards, where they can share wedding cake, tea and a glass of sparkling wine with you afterwards to celebrate.
