Credit Card Wedding Promotions to Use For Your Big Day

Use these credit card wedding promotions in Singapore to stay on budget and start your marriage right.

With couples prepared to spend anywhere from S$30,000 to S$50,000 on their weddings, getting married in Singapore is no cheap affair. Even if you’re not in the market for a six-figure wedding, market forces can still do their best to push your budget upwards.

Take for example wedding banquet prices, which have been seen increasing every year by between 5% and 10%. In 2017, weddings in Singapore are now approaching the S$2,000-per-table mark. And just in case you think it’s simply a matter of avoiding hotel ballrooms, even a community club or void deck wedding can set you back S$70,000.

But you don’t have to give up your dream wedding entirely. Instead look for the right financial tools and promotions to help you balance your budget. Here are some credit card wedding promotions that will help you stay on budget, the better to start your marriage off on the right foot!
