Everybody knows that weddings are not the cheapest things in the world! One of the biggest struggles in planning a wedding is setting the budget but also finding the money to make it your perfect day. While eloping is certainly cheaper, if you are looking to make some extra money quickly for your wedding day, let's provide you with some options.
Freelancing
No doubt, there is a lot of stress going on at the moment. You've got to fit in your working life, and every spare moment is spent meeting with wedding planners or getting on the phone with caterers. This means that finding extra money is not easy. But freelancing is the best way for you to make the most of any spare time. You can use many freelance bidding boards such as Shiply and be a delivery driver if you are looking for shipping bidding. One of the benefits of being a delivery driver in this respect is that you could use it as an opportunity to go and tick off a couple of wedding duties at the same time! If you need to pay a visit to the venue, for example, you could combine this with a delivery job going in that direction!
Renting Out Part of Your Home
While you may not like the idea of sharing your home with a complete stranger in the run-up to your big day (not least if they try to bag themselves an invitation), Airbnb is one of the best ways to make the most of part of your home. You can rent out your home entirely if you are trying to get a bit of extra cash for after the honeymoon. If you have a trip coming up, or you are going to the wedding venue so you'll be away for the weekend, why don't you rent out your home or a room to someone who is visiting your area? In addition, you could rent out your car parking space or if you have a space, you could rent it out for an event. Websites like Peerspace mean you can host events such as meetings or parties which you can get paid for. If you hold a party, it might be a good dry run for the night do anyway!
Decluttering and Selling Your Stuff
You might find this is one of the better options. If you and your significant other are starting a new life together, this is the perfect opportunity to declutter and to make new memories. It gives you the opportunity to go over your old life, and a lot of items that you just don't use anymore. You might not want to be ruthless, because there are things that you may like to keep, but if you've got CDs or DVDs that you've got doubles of, get rid of them through websites like Decluttr.
The greatest day of your life is not cheap. But there are plenty of ways for you to get those extra finances to make your special day that little bit more special.
