This isn't the first time I've talked about saving money on wedding costs. And until our economy improves, it won't be the last.

Wedding cut backs are nothing new, especially to couples who are already frugal or don't have a lot of money to spend, but nowadays, more couples than ever are having to watch every dollar when it comes to wedding planning.

This doesn't mean your big day has to be any less meaningful. I believe that if you feel very strongly about one aspect of your wedding, you should stick to your guns if possible-but this may mean letting something else go.

From the article, this important reminder:

"But Stu Freeman, publisher of Long Island Bride and Groom magazine says there is a danger in cutting back too much. He says you can't have a do over, the wedding is usually a one shot deal."

How has the current economy impacted your planning, if at all?
