what really helped out my mom and dads wedding was that my mom made all the favors and bouquets herself, and for a guestbook my mom had a huge picture made of her and my dad and had a signature area all around the picture for ppl to sign, and now its hanging up in her house it was a very cute guest book.

I am going to make my own bouquets for sure! What did she make for favors?

the cheapest way to do things is to make them yourself. take a little more time, but its far more personal and special for you too.
get the bridesmaids round for an evening and make some invites, and have a look on google for how to make a guest book, ive made some rad photo albums myself that way

well i’d love to get married outside but it might rain or snow and i can’t take that chance….i’m checking out fire halls, heard they were cheaper here. how do you make invitations????

most of my friends and weddings ive been to have made their own invites, again you could google “make your own wedding invites” and youll find some, or you could have a look at actual invites and if you see any you like, just steal their ideas and make it more cheaply hehe

i’ll check it out. thanks.

she had little wedding bubble sets and those hersey kisses that had on the little white papers that said my mom and dads names and the day they were getting married on. she had them set up on the tables along side there handmade name tags for everyone and the table settings were nice sized mirrors with different sized candles on top of the mirrors with sets of 2-3 orchids on each table it was really beautiful

sounds nice. thanks.

What about having the wedding or the reception at someone’s house? You might not be able to have the wedding outside for fear of rain; but maybe you could save costs by having one or the other inside someone’s house

For example, I had my wedding outside in my Grandma’s back yard and the reception was at my parent’s house since they have a relatively large kitchen/family room area….plus the family room has a door that goes outside to a deck and the yard, where ppl could mingle more

well it might snow or rain when we get married so i think it’s safer to have it indoors. we are looking for a place to have the wedding AND reception though (both in the same place)

What about offering to do some work for the company, like cleaning or something and they then reduce the price of what you want from them?

The only reason i thought about it, was because i saw it on a tv show. This couple managed to get married for 400 pounds i think it was. It was a lot of work but they managed it!

cool :) thanks
