Choose invitations. You can find white invitations in stationary stores or online. This will set the tone for your white party. Send invitations out about three or four weeks before your party date.
Ask guests to wear white. It's nice to specify a dress code, whether it's casual, dressy casual, semi-formal or formal. The party venue and time mostly determine how guests should dress. An afternoon garden party can be fairly casual, while an after 5 o'clock event may be more semi-formal.
Decorate your venue with white streamers, white rugs and other white or light colored decor.
Decorate tables with white linens. You can use white flowers like gardenias in water-filled shallow bowls as centerpieces. Other white flowers you may want to use include roses, carnations, lilies and orchids.
Set place settings in white. This includes white place cards, place mats, napkins and plates.
Serve foods that are white or light in color to keep in line with your white party theme. Food ideas include white chocolate-covered strawberries, light cheeses, risotto, chicken, pork, turkey, white corn, cauliflower, angel food cake (with or without white frosting), coconut cake and vanilla ice cream.
Serve drinks like ginger ale, lemon-lime sodas, pina coladas, martinis, mojitos and White Russians.

Pick several dates as possibilities for you wedding. Being flexible with your plans will make getting free things easier.
Have your wedding at a church or country club where you or a relative is a member. This will eliminate the fee for your wedding. If you can't find a place consider having your wedding at home with a garden reception.
Contact several photographers several months in advance and find out which is willing to exchange their photography services for advertising space at your wedding and reception. Be willing to let them set up a display table with brochures and business cards.
Check with local bakeries who would like to trade advertising space in your wedding program for the price of a cake.
Think about having your wedding in the afternoon and serve only light hor'deuvres with your cake. Enlist the help of friends and relatives to make them for you.
Consider a destination wedding offered for free online. Many resorts offer wedding packages for free with your travel reservations.
Offer your tuxedo rental store and bridal salon free advertising at your reception in exchange for free or reduced rates on rentals and purchases.
