*Theme
*Time

*Creativity
*Help
*Calligrapher (optional)

Step 1: Tour your dollar store 去一元店购买婚礼需要的物品
Tour your local dollar store to peruse their selection of vases, candles, lanterns, dishware, and other decorations to start forming a plan.

Splurge on the important things like a dress, cake, location, and a photographer to record those important moments.

Step 2: Start planning early 早早开始计划，这样的话，就会有充足的时间寻找你所需要的东西
Start planning early to give yourself enough time to find everything you need. You may need to visit more than one store to find everything, but doing the legwork yourself will save even more dough.

Step 3: Pick a theme 选择自己喜欢的主题
Pick a theme that you can pull off with dollar store decorations such as a simple black and white affair, a tropical luau, or a colorful pastel gathering.

Step 4: Create your own invitations DIY 邀请函和答谢卡
Piece together your own invitations and thank-you notes using store-bought stationary. Use a laser printer and a classy font for a professional look.

Ask a friend who practices calligraphy if they would write out the invitations for a reduced price.

Step 5: Get crafty 利用闪光灯，玻璃石以及珠宝打造完美气氛
Use glitter, markers, glass pebbles and jewels, and whatever else you can find to create stunning table centerpieces and craft the perfect atmosphere.

Step 6: Recruit help 请亲朋好友帮助布置婚礼会场
Recruit family and friends to place your table centerpieces, set up chairs and tables, and decorate as you prepare to take your vows and celebrate your big day.
