I feared I had been too cheap!
Monday, September 07, 2009 | By dingybat
I had known I was going to marry this man, so I began picking up things to transform into centerpieces and other decorations and such- at Good Wills, thrift stores, garage and yard sales and church rummage sales. When he asked me August 28, 2009, I took inventory of what I had and was pleasantly surprised! I had all the invitations for the bridal shower, bachelorette party and the wedding itself. I had bags and a hat for the bachelorette party, and plenty of wedding books (IE, guest sign in book, record keeping book, ect). Candles, ribbon, Tulle, embellishments of all sorts. Poster board, stencils, paints, glue sticks, silk flowers and greenery. Favors and place cards. I was at a Good Will and I found my wedding dress! It was a pale yellow dress with a small train. At a bargain price of $10.00! With that find, I had my color reference. I was at a craft store when they had a "all-you-can-stuff-in-a-large-bag-for-$5" sale, so I got miles and miles of ribbon, tulle and other accessories. (I can stuff a bag, I tell you!) I started making the decorations, center pieces and my headpiece. I was sitting on my living room floor, after finishing one particularly wonderful piece and I was overcome with emotion. I started crying. I was suddenly terrified that everyone would think I was hoakie and cheap, that it would all look that way. My fiance laughed and hugged me, telling me that he was proud I could do all these things. He reminded me we will have more money for our honeymoon because of my ability to make a buck stretch and I snapped out of it! I found a wedding chapel that is a historical site and rented it for $95 for the day. I work with a minister who will marry us for a $50 donation, and I have a friend who owns a tavern with a party room who is letting me use it for free, as long as my guests buy the drinks from the bar. So, with all this, I have spent about $200 so far. With food I expect to spend no more than $300-350. I wouldn't mind hearing comments from members after they view my pics about this. Can someone be too cheap? Sometimes I am very proud of myself, and sometimes I wonder!

reception ideas metro detroit
Tuesday, January 06, 2009 | By hollyji
Help! I want to have a fun wedding reception for around $4000 for 150 people. All of the halls/clubs/hotels seem so similar and are soooooo expensive.
Does anyone know of any alternative ideas? I'm afraid to plan something outside because of the weather, but love the idea of canoeing followed by a bbq and music... I'm stuck and getting frustrated.

We are hosting a bridal shower for my friend and she insists on the theme being centered around "shopping Spree" or shopping related since that is one of her favorite past times. Can someone please help me with ideas for invitations, centerpieces, etc. The wedding is scheduled for April 26 so I have no time.

Cheap weddings for 2000 please Alex.....
Tuesday, December 18, 2007 | By thefuturemrsgross
Hey Guys!I am trying to have a wedding for under 2,000 and i am doing a pretty good job of it so far, but i need more help! My wedding is in April 2008 for 200 people; and i am stuck.
Some things that have been accomplished are:
Invitations (a friend made them as our wedding gift) all i had to do was buy the ink for her printer.
My Cake: it's being made by a friend of the FH's family for 200 bucks or less.
Photgrapher: My FH's step dad is a amatuer photographer, and he's doing it for free! We;re also having disposable cameras on the tables at the reception.
Food: Depending on IF i can find a location, it will be a potluck dessert Style! Most places i am noticing are telling me i have to cater.
My dress: My grandma paid for it, as a gift.
I'm just stuck on the rest, i am having a hard time finding a location (indoors) that will hold 200 ppl at tables, that also has a non host bar, and won't need catering. Does anyone have any ideas as to any close locations to Portland, OR or Vancouver, WA where i could hold a cheap, yet princess/elegant wedding and reception?

Our wedding on a local beach
Wednesday, April 18, 2007 | By adams123
In the summer of 2004, my husband and I got married at our favorite local beach. With permission, we set up seating and props and had the wedding of a lifetime! It was the most beautiful wedding location. I'm not just saying it because it was free to have our wedding at the local beach, it was perfect for us. There were waves as the back drop and the sun was setting making pictures look fablous. I would suggest it to anyone who loves the outdoors and has a favorite local beach. Who needs to travel down south to get married!!!!!
