Try Craigslist and I'm sure there are local papers (kind of like the Thrifty Nickel, but the TN charges, I believe) that don't charge for advertising. Post flyers around your local college bulletins and such. There are restaurants who will let you put your business cards by their cash registers. There are all sorts of nifty ideas, you just have to think outside of the box.

I post my wedding flower business on craigslist and get quite alot of attention. You need to be sure to add lots of examples of your work, a good discription of what you do and your rates. Maybe try overing a special discount for anyone that mentions seeing that add. Cheap also is not the right word, try using terms like "Can work with your budget" or "Affordable" cheap tends to sound exactly that. Cheap. good luck!

Maybe go around to some of the local places where the wedding and receptions are held and let them know what you do and see if they will pass along your info. When I got married that's how we found a lot of the people who did our wedding. Good luck

Craigslist, brides.com and premierbride. They are the best so far.

I don't know if they charge anything, but The Perfect Wedding Guide is a website I look at quite often. And yes, have a webpage with examples. I usually ignore any vendors that don't have a webpage to look at.

- craigslist- myspace- having a website with your photo's is a plus so they can see your work or at least photobucket or something or that type- flyer bomb at local wedding conventions and near a wedding dress shop (i.e. they're annoying but leave a flyer on car windshields)- ask bakeries to have your card out at the register or post your ad in their store- post your website/info/card on bulletin boards around town

Advertise your business on free classifieds, relevant forums and social networking websites. Monitor the response you get periodically to find out what works best. From http://ad5.info

Everything About Your Wedding Wedding Marketplace Buy and sale all wedding related products. Where and How to Start? There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you. Wedding Attire Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire. Wedding Flowers Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost. Wedding Ceremony Decoration Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority... Wedding Music Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances. Wedding Photography Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day. Wedding Favors Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you... Wedding Food Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget. Wedding Cake Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition Wedding Party The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
