so here is the dilemma. jason and i are paying for the wedding (and all it implies*) ourselves. well, lets be perfectly honest, i'm unemployed so jason is paying for the wedding (and all it implies*) himself. (i love you dear.)
with every check we write, vendor we confirm, and bill we receive jason's heart breaks just a little bit. you see, he (and i) want nothing more than to be able to buy our very own house and start our very own family.
we've already taken a lot of the common wedding on a budget tips to heart. we're hosting our shin-dig on a sunday, we're serving only beer and wine, and we're avoiding the typical (and costly and almost always overrated) sit down dinner by serving only heavy hors d'oeuvers. the thing is we want our family and friends (many of which will have to travel to the exotic and exciting city of cleveland for the affair) to not only have a great time, but to feel loved and appreciated - - after all weddings are quite costly for everyone involved.
so where do we draw the line when it comes to the wedding (also referred to by many as the most important day of our lives) and the budget? how cheap is too cheap? please do tell.
*excluding flowers, my parents are covering the flowers after this debacle

Hard line to draw for sure. Friendors and lots of research helps! Let me know if you need any of my amazing ideas lol :)
ReplyDeleteto guarantee no regrets, make a list of the 5 most important things at your wedding. (sounds like flowers wouldn't make the list)
ReplyDeleteif it doesn't fall in that short list, "too cheap" doesn't apply. what you'll remember most are those most important things.
