FAQ
Straight answers about THE Cheap Wedding Guide — what’s in the PDF, who it’s for, money-back, and how tips on the site relate to the full playbook. Still stuck? Email hello@cheapweddingguide.com or see /guarantee.
Is $5 a real guide or a lead magnet?
Full PDF playbook with sample budgets, vendor scripts, skip-vs-splurge sheets, and a 30-day plan — not a teaser PDF and not a drip email trap. You pay once, download instantly, keep it for personal use.
What’s actually in the PDF?
Sample budgets that work ($2k · $5k · $10k framing), venue without the venue tax, food & drink that feels generous, dress/flowers/photo cuts that don’t look cut, skip vs splurge cheat sheets, exact negotiation scripts, and your 30-day cheap wedding plan. Mapped to what you see on the homepage “What’s inside” list — the PDF is the complete version.
Will it work outside Australia?
Yes. Numbers are currency-agnostic; examples feel AUD-friendly. Use your local dollars and vendor norms — the decision frameworks and scripts travel.
Do I need DIY skills?
No. We tell you when DIY helps — and when to stop. Cheap ≠ craft night. Some of the best savings are guest list, venue type, and saying no to corkage theatre.
What if my family expects a big wedding?
Scripts for money talks and guest-count ceilings are in the guide. You’re allowed to protect the budget and still be kind. The goal is a clear ceiling, not a fight for sport.
How do refunds / money-back work?
100% money-back if the guide doesn’t help you cut cost or stress. Self-serve within 30 days on /refunds with your checkout email; edge cases → email us from that address. No essays. Details: /guarantee.
Is there an app?
Not yet. Guide first; app only if you love it enough to keep us busy. The PDF is the product today.
How are free tips different from the guide?
Tips are useful, focused articles (venue, food, dress, budget, DIY, planning). The guide is the full playbook — budgets, scripts, and the 30-day plan in one download. Tips sample the thinking; the PDF runs the week.
Who is this for — and who should skip it?
For planners building a beautiful day on purpose on a real budget; partners welcome. Skip it if you want free Pinterest dumps only, or “budget” that still means luxury-tier spend.
