Great Ideas Lisa. My wedding too was done ourselves. It was beautiful and our
only cost was clothing, dresses for bride, bridesmaid and flower girl on sale
and the ones we asked to be groomsmen and ushers we asked if they would bewilling to pay 1/2 the rental cost and with a special deal with the rental place
you can get if you go in early enough we got the groom’s and ring bearer’s
rental free. And food was done buffet style with alot of use doing the platterssuch as finger sandwiches, hor ders, punch and a fancy sparkling cider for
toasting. Another idea that we used is we approached other family members and
close friends and asked that instead of gifts we told them where we had ourwedding cake and flowers on order and if they could just contribute a payment
of even 5.00 here and there would help. By time the wedding came around both had
been completely paid for as gifts.And the craft store is a great idea. We made all our own guest gifts, table
center pieces (candles and silk flowers),party favors, ect. Also go to some
place such as Party City for wedding accessories such as guest book, ringpillow, fancy serving platters, plates and all ect. really cheap.
We all had the greatest time !!! I love the memories !!!
Good Luck !!!!!.

We are going through this as well at my house- except being the Groom’s parents
we aren’t “obligated” as much as you are by tradition.
