My fiancee and I are getting married in May and he has given me a $5000 dollar buget to pay for all of our wedding that includes the rental facility which is already in the amount of $1,550.00. The rest of the money should cover the buffet reception, photography, wedding cake, wedding gown, his tuxedo, our wedding shoes, flowers/wedding decorations and servers to help and clean plus taxes and labor. Need an advice coz I don't think this amount is not enough to cover everything he wishes me to do.
Answer
Hear me out for a second, please.
First of all, you will be hard pressed to spend only $3,450.00 on food, a photographer, cake, a wedding gown, a tuxedo rental, shoes, flowers, decorations and service, taxes and labor. This is going to take a hell of alot of creativity.
Listen to this: My father passed away and he was cremated. We had just 10 days to plan a Celebration of Life memorial party for about 85 guests at my sister's house. We decided to have a decent cocktail party. We rented glassware, utencils, and plates. We bought paper napkins at the dollar store, hired choice local gourmet shops to prepare trays of appetisers, we made a huge cheese, fruit and cracker tray and bought all the alcohol and mixers and soft drinks. We hired teenage kids to go on dirty glass and plate patrole and another bunch to walk around with food trays. My sister painted her front door, planted a flower garden, and bought new lawn furniture.
We had a lovely cocktail party and everyone mingled inside the house and outside in the yard. In light of the sad ocassion, everyone really had a good time. After all was said and done, we realized that this party was pulled off, without the cost of lawn furniture, for under two thousand dollars. My Niece, who is engaged got the bright idea to have her wedding in my sister's yard and use the ten grand she was going to spend on her wedding to upgrade and buy a more expensive house.
The point of this story is that you can have a lovely reception without waisting the first $1,550 of your budget to use someone's facility for four hours.
Think, is there somewhere you can have a reception at someone's house??? Think about it.
Othewise, just plan a cocktail party at the rental facility. Bring your own bottles of alcohol, potted African Violets are just a couple dollars each, appetisers cost a ton less than a buffet, ask a friend to take pictures, buy a dress on Ebay or rent one, buy comfortable sandals or flip flops, have a small decorative cake made and serve a home made sheet cake from the kitchen, get decorations at a craft store and ask everyone you know for their help in pulling it all off.
Good luck to you. Remember, the wedding day is just a few hours and marriage is for years and years and years.....
