Cheap Vegas Wedding For Valentine's Day - 3 Tips For Saving Money

When planning a Las Vegas wedding for Valentine's Day, it's important to get everything right so you can have exactly the kind of wedding you want to have. But, that being said, it's also critical to think about saving money so you can do it on the cheap without being cheesy. Valentine's Day is a special day on the calendar and a very popular time for weddings anywhere, including Las Vegas Nevada.
Valentine's Day in Las Vegas is unlike any other holiday. As Vegas.com reports, "A huge number of people flock to Vegas every Valentine's Day to get married, so booking a chapel might be a challenge." It's no surprise since February 14th inspires so much romance in the hearts of many young couples eager to make their vows to one another.
Unlike other holidays like New Years Eve when the parties are raging non-stop in Vegas, Saint Valentine's Day in mid-February is more inclined towards couples flocking to Vegas to get married, honeymoon, or just enjoy a relaxing couples spa vacation weekend.
This article will offer some insider tips on how to have a great wedding in Las Vegas on this early-year romance-filled without breaking the bank!
Tip #1 -- Find an Inexpensive Location
When tallying up your costs for a wedding, the first item that will surely eat up a lot of your budget is the location. Now I do realize that a lot of this depends on how many people you'll invite (if any at all) and a host of other considerations. But if you can find a location with a special Valentine's Day discount offer, you're going to be much more successful keeping your costs down. Feb 14 locations, again, can be tough to find because of the competition for this heart-filled weekend.
Tip #2 -- Plan Your Travel In Advance
Chances are good that you don't live in Las Vegas, NV. And if you're inviting guests, they probably don't either. Valentines Day is not exactly the most popular travel weekend, but it is a holiday when couples get together to celebrate their romance and singles look for party destinations to meet other singles. Check out travel rates before you plan your Vegas wedding and you're bound to save some serious cash.
Tip #3 -- Throw in a Vegas Valentine's Honeymoon
One of the great things about getting married in Las Vegas is the spectacular and seemingly endless options for an instant honeymoon. I want to strongly suggest that you do a 2-for-1 kind of arrangement so as soon as you and your spouse have tied the knot you can get right to the partying, celebrating, and relaxing. Valentine's Day weekend is a good time to do this since you'll already be on holiday and the hearts and romance will be in the air. The good news is that many restaurants in Las Vegas will typically offer 2-for-1 "Romantic Dinner Specials" for couples to celebrate this specific romantic holiday. Think candle-lit dinners with champagne and delicious chocolate desserts. Cupid would be proud.
When you're preparing for a cheap Vegas Valentine's Day wedding you need to be very mindful of what makes Las Vegas different on February 14 from all other days of the year. Be aware of the calendar of events occurring in and around The Vegas Strip area. Since this holiday occurs fairly early in the year you can look for events that might help you save money. Many hotels, restaurants, and casinos will be looking to offer you their exclusive deals.
*Mandalay Bay Hotel, for example, typically runs a V-Day discounted suite special for couples to enjoy.
*The Wynn recently offered some impressive Feb 14 holiday weekend specials including a special "Spa Day for Him and Her."
*Caesar's Palace is well known for offering special deals to romance-goers exclusive to the Val Day weekend.
*The Monte Carlo also typically offers dinner-and-romance coupons for couples who love to gamble.
The most important thing to remember when planning your Valentine's Day Wedding in famous Las Vegas, Nevada is to make it really count for you and your spouse. If you are the bride, be sure to take your time preparing for your special day. Your groom and all of your guests will appreciate all of your efforts.
