How to Plan the Perfect Wedding

Getting Married 1/10/10, NEED HELP!!!?

Okay, I’m getting married next January and we’re broke…
I need a list of everything I need, like a wedding check list and suggestions on how to keep it simple and cheap but not tacky.
And how soon should I start planning and sending out invitations, etc?

Any suggestions will help, thanks so much in advance!!!

For a free checklist, budgeter and ideas go to:

www.theknot.com

It’s free.

Now, if you want a wedding on a budget, the best way of doing this is to:

- keep it small. Having a small guest list it’s the only proved way of cutting costs. Invite immediate family members and very close friends only. Keep it under 40 guests, less if you can. No co-workers, neighbors, HS friends that you haven’t talked to in years, no cousins etc. you get the idea

-Do without: No, you don’t need 5 BM, and flowers girls, unity candles, wedding bells, guests books, feather pen, escort cards, programs, garter, limo etc. You won’t need all that

-Borrow. Everyone has an used veil and a cake server set.

-DYI: Buy invite kits at walmart and Target and print at home in your computer. If you are crafty, do your own bouquet.

-Have a cake and toast reception, bbq reception, hors d’ouvres or potluck reception. Those are the most affordable choices.

-Skip the alcohol. Have a sparkling cider toast, soda, tea and lemonade and avoid the high cost (and mess) of alcohol. If you must, offer just a sparkling wine toast and sodas, coffee, tea only.

-Venue. Someone’s backyard, residence, public park, church’s fellowship hall or local community center are the most affordable options. YMCA, VFW, Elk’s lodge and Moose Lodge are also affordable choices.

-Cake. Super walmart and most supermarkets offer a catalogue with a wide variety of wedding cake designs, Save!

-Craigslist.Ebay. You won’t believe how many brides are trying to get rid of their wedding leftovers for very little money. From Wedding Dresses, to left over blank invites, ribbons, decor etc. you can really get a good deal. I’ve even seem free stuff too.

-Enroll the help of Uncle Tom to take the pictures and cousin Larry to help with the music.

Good luck and congrats
