6 Ways to Keep Wedding Costs Low

(February 20, 2019)--Everybody spends different amounts on their wedding and how much you spend is dependent on different variables. For one, the amount you spend has a lot to do with what your budget is, as well as what kind of wedding you hope to have. It’s important to remember that there is life after your wedding day, so you don’t want to start this new life in serious debt. In light of this, if you’re getting married soon, try and focus on keeping costs as low as possible. If you need help doing this and currently have an out of control budget, here are six handy tips.

1. Decide What Matters Most

The average cost of a wedding in America is $33,391, and more than half of couples go into debt trying to pay for it. If you want to keep costs low, you’re going to need to prioritize and budget. Decide which parts of your wedding are most important, whether it be your venue or food, and focus on those areas while reducing expenses in others. 

2. Look for Cheaper Dresses

One of the expensive buys on a wedding day can be the bride’s dress. For this reason, consider looking for cheaper alternatives. This doesn’t mean that you won’t be able to have the dress of your dreams, but there are ways to do so without overspending. Firstly, decide on how much you’re willing to spend on your dress and then continue from there. You could then choose to rent your dream dress seeing as you’re unlikely to wear it again. There’s also the option of buying second hand or getting a non-traditional dress.

Penn Medicine/CHOP Study Finds that Fetal Signaling Pathways Begin Very Early in Prenatal Life

Specialized Lung Cells Appearing Very Early in Development are Key

 

Newswise — PHILADELPHIA – (February 2019)--Specialized lung cells appear in the developing fetus much earlier than scientists previously thought. A new animal study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports how cells that become alveoli, the tiny compartments in which gas exchange occurs in the lung, begin their specialized roles very early in prenatal life. The researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) say that investigating the fetal signaling pathways active in this biological event may offer future opportunities to treat lung damage caused by prematurity and other lung injuries.
