Dapat sahaja tarikh untuk majlis kahwin, mulalah bakal pengantin siapkan senarai to-do untuk memudahkan perjalanan majlis. Segala barangan hantaran pun dimasukkan dalam senarai supaya tidak terlebih bajet nanti. Namun, sejak PKP, ramai pengantin seboleh-bolehnya nak jimat duit termasuklah pengantin baharu yang seorang ni. 

Dr. Putri Shameen, seorang doktor pergigian dan influencer yang sangat dikenali di media sosial baharu sahaja melangsungkan perkahwinan baru-baru ini. Majlis yang cukup indah, dari persalinan busana, pelamin, lokasi perkahwinan malah segala-galanya! Setiap satu digarap nbegitu indah mengikut citarasa Shameen. 

Salah satu perkongsiannmya di Instagram adalah tip untuk menjimatkan duit bagi mengadakan majlis perkahwinan. 

“Here’s what I personally did to save money, excluding the options of having to do the wedding at home / nikah at masjid (which are obviously the way to go for cost cutting solutions) …” 

1. Dummy cake: while I appreciate our amazing local bakers and their talent, i knew i was going to have issues of cake not being eaten despite bringing this issue forward and came up with solutions. So, I think it’s better to have just the bottom cake to be real and if you want more tiers, use dummies! 

 
2. Reception on a weekday: probably not applicable to everyone but if you can, why not? I did mine on a freakin Wednesday paling tengah minggu dalam dunia. tbh it was one of the most cutting cost decisions i made cause if not i had to pay triple. 

3. Fake hantaran exchange: explained in chapter 9. It’s time to break the norm cause honestly to me personally, it’s a waste of money.

 

I mean i can buy my own handbag/perfume etc . Plus, the issue with the dulangs everytime i became a dulang girlwere siapa pegang dulang ? Kena ada orang pegang dulang dalam kereta , nanti cake terbalik , Jangan hilang tau ada barang mahal, siapa bawak balik hantaran?

 
4. 2 in 1 dress: this works best if you’re having your reception after the nikah and if you wanna go for a slight change of look. Tbh it saved me some time to cause i didn’t need to change baju or tukar tudung. And i think this is the time where you can be creative with your dress when designing! 

 
5 . Nikah & Reception on the same day : also a very important one and i think most people overlooked the points that : if you do nikah and reception on a diff day then youll have to pay venue 2x , food 2x , photo and video 2x if they work by day , dress & makeup 2x etc. As the Bride , do bear in mind that our family is the host for Nikah ceremony so its on us more ( mostly ). 

 
6 . Combined wedding : doing this has its own pros and cons . Pros : cost split in half, family bonding .  

Cons : guests number split in half ( limited ) , guests confusion in the hall to mingle / to be greeted . But Alhamdulillah we did came up with solutions ! 

Selagi boleh berjimat, apa salahnya kan/? ;Lagipun, perbelanjaan dan komitmen selepas lebih besar. Tidak semestinya perlu bermewah-mewahan baru majlis nampak mewah. Asalkan kita bijak dan kreatif, bajet rendah pun boleh nampak eksklusif!
