we are having a very budget wedding as we also are only on one piddly wage, paying child support, raising a baby, paying a mortgage, and unfortunately only have my dps' parents.
cake....we are getting our from cheese cake shop, mudcakes, 3 different sizes, and had my FIL make a 3 tier cake stand, all we have to do is put ribbon around the bottom of it and flowers on top, saving about $300.
our guests are paying their own meal which is $25/head in lieu of gifts.
all dresses are being made. mine will cost only $350 total.
i was lucky enough to know a friend who works at a printing shop to do invites
instead of a proper dj we are taking our stereo and fav cd's and getting a friend to just monitor changing of cd's
i did alot of ebay shopping for table decorations,saved heaps doing it that way
jewellery i got from kleins and diva, why spend heaps of money on it
hair and makeup - friends are doing for a carton of beer
getting married ina garden with a salvation army captain as a church is abotu $500 in tamworth for the wedding and minister and we are not religious anywya
using our cars to drive
shoes- bought at payless shoe shop, i want to be able to wear them again
flowers- incorporate fake with real as it alot cheaper
motel fo rwedding night- we got a cheap 3 star one as we only need a bed and shower
hope this helps
