Re: Planning a wedding on collage budget
My husband and I had a very low cost wedding. We got married on a Friday night which made it easier to rent a hall. We basically had a lot of help from our family and friends as far as the wedding was concerned.
Another friend offered to make the pew bows and paid for them as her wedding gift. The centerpieces were a glass bowl with a flower floating in it.
We had candles and confetti decorations. Another friend made rose heart soaps for the favors and gave that for her wedding gift to us.
For dessert we had a candy bar (instead of a salad bar) with all different kinds of candies. I had a friend make a whole bunch of little chocolates for it.
My husband and I both like icecream cake so we actually had 3 round cakes from Dairyqueen at our cake table (brought out at the last minute of course) and then sheet icecream cakes to accomodate our guests. Dairyqueen did a great job of decorating our cakes.
My dress was the most expensive thing at $483 at David’s Bridal but part of that was bought with my $300 tax back from George W.
Bush in 2002.
Basically, I would say find out what talents your family and friends have and then see if they’ll apply them to the wedding.
Also, a wedding can be done cheaper if you have on a different day then a traditional wedding day or you have a different type of meal like a brunch or something to that effect. We had a friend get married at a local city park who did a beautiful brunch and only invited 30 people.
