LOOKING FOR SPONSERS

If you split that $5400. By three it is only $1800.00 a piece. Each family could chip in a third and you and your fiance` can chip in a third. These days you can`t expect one family pay for it all. You should plan the wedding you can comfortably afford. If you can`t afford $5400. Scale it back to what you can. I assume you and your fiance` have jobs.....if you don`t you should not be spending anyones money on a wedding.But you certainly can be helping out also.

YES WE DO BOTH HAVE JOBS. I WOULDNT DARE ASK FOR ANYTHING IF I WASNT CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING. THAT DOESNT MAKE SENCE- ITS NOT THAT SERIOUS.

GET A LIFE WE ARE ALL PAYING FOR OUR OWN WEDDINGS IF YOU CANT AFFORD IT DONT DO IT HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO SEE THIS POST GET A LIFE!!

Well "bride" so what you payed for your wedding dont worry about mine you need to get a life and stop posting childish messages. Why take time out of your life to post me a message obviously you also need to get a life, dont you agree?

DID you just happen to watch a program on TV last night where a couple had someone sponser their wedding?
If you two are really in love and ready to make this commitment, you wouldn`t be so worried about where you get the money, his family or yours, you would do all you can to cover what your own family can`t. You and your family need to have time to SAVE the money, that`s what my parents are doing. My fiance`s family has more money too and is willing, but you must take responsibility for your own wants. You can scale back if you can`t afford what you want, there are many ways to do this. I would be happy to offer suggestions!

ACTUALLY I DIDNT GET TO SEE ANY SHOW, BUT I HEARD ABOUT SOME DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING AND THANK YOU FOR NOT BEING IGNORANT ABOUT IT LIKE SOME UNEDUCATED INDIVIDUAL WHO SEEM NOT TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN LIFE! THANKS FOR YOUR OPINION

It seems the problem here Dee Dee is this is a message board for brides so when you ask for sponcors your asking the brides. If you want a sponsor you’ll have to get out their and find them. Maybe try new or struggling businesses in your area that want to reach people in the area. Another thing is remember this is your wedding and it shouldn’t matter that your fiancés family is paying more if they can afford more. Your family has nothing to feel bad about and they shouldn’t expect you to give up financial help you could really use (as we all know weddings are a very large expense). What his family is giving shouldn’t be a topic. Your family should give what is in their budget to give and his family should do the same. It seems to me it would be a better alternative than asking strangers for sponsorship.

I WOULD NOT GIVE YOU ANY MONEY WITH THE ATTITUDE YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWING I HOPE YOU NEVER EVER GET THE MONEY FOR IT!! AND NEVER EVEN GET MARRIED

Bride-What is wrong with you? Please take your angry demanor elsewhere. We are on this site to get information on our wedding day, which is a HAPPY event. You, however are getting a bit out of control. Don`t worry, I am now expecting an angry reply from you. I just ask that you quit and move on please,

"We are on this site to get information on our wedding day" Exactly what you said info not money GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR MONEY!!

Bride - you`re nuts. DeeDee, I think you`re looking for sponsorships in the wrong place or just asking incorrectly.

I paid for my entire wedding myself, what I couldn`t afford, I didn`t get, plain and simple. If you ask businesses for sponsorships, you`ll be sent away, as too many people are asking for sponsorships in turn, businesses are not making money. You need to come up with the money yourself, or find the same for less. No freebies or handouts. People have no respects for beggers and freeloaders.

Bride- Noone is askingYOU for money, or for your angry heartless opinion -to wish upon her that she never gets married??? For gosh sakes, Maybe she`s just looking into all options and asking for opinions on the matter, I doubt she`s asking for insults! As a bride, you should know this is a stressful time. Go take it out on a punching bag or something, not someone you don`t even know!

IF YOU FEEL SO BAD FOR HER WHY ARE YOU NOT GETTING YOUR CHECK BOOK OUT? I WOULD NOT DARE ASK FOR CASH WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY OPTIONS OUT THERE ON HOW TO SAVE SHE WANTS A 6000 WEDDING I KNOW BETTER, YOU CAN GET MARRIED FOR AS LOW AS 350 ANYWHERE

BRIDE - you have too much time on your hands - do you work? Or are you wasting company time insulting other people? Did your parents beat you? Are you mad at them? Maybe your fiance beats you - you should be mad at him them... Maybe you`re mad at your in-laws, then yell at them....
As for writing in caps, internet etiquette states that you should not do so - it represents yelling/shouting or strong emphasis, in turn nulling your reasoning. I hope you don`t have children, and if you do, I hope someone calls DCFS on your crazy .
Ladies, I think this is a very FAT woman that sits at home, is a chain smoker, drinks like a liter of vodka or tequila a day, and has nothing to do but yell at people on Party Pop. She does not have friends - this is obvious...Take people like this with a grain of salt - what goes around, comes around - she may be the one on the brink of divorce - if not there already.
Bride - if I`m wrong, know that this is the way that you have represented yourself, and people like you do not get very far in life because this is how you always come off.

I work for someone and would never go into the bridal business because of people like you, I should say freeloaders like you..... Being that you are not in the bridal business I could understand how you don`t know squat about the issue you have brought up. I was in with my photographer and 2 seperate couples came in asking him for sponsorship - he was polite and said no. We went in to see our tuxedo shop and a woman came in asking for a sponsorship - and refused to leave until she knew why they wouldn`t accomodate!! I was irate. Here I was with my fiance, paying with money that we had made on our own, and I was being interrupted by freeloaders!!!!! Then I spoke to my travel agent , with whom we are booking our honeymoon with, and she said that she had sponsored one wedding about 6 months ago, sent them the the French Riviera, she REFUSES to ever do it again, as she was actually on the news with the couple whose wedding she sponsored it in actually worsened her business instead of picking it up. She had to change her telephone number as all she was getting was sponsorship phone calls - let it be noted that I have known her to be in the travel business for a long time, booking tons of trips with her, and she always said she was busy - now she says that it was a horrible business move on her side to sponsor the couple, as it cheapened her image. Business people get burned on things you think would be a "win-win" situation - therefore don`t count on good people helping you. If you get anyone to help you it`ll be people that are either totally struggling because they have crappy businesses, or because they will chose crappy stuff for you. Like discontinued pieces, or crappy dates that are never taken up by weddings because of off-season - that is all you`ll be deserving of - basically crap.
FREELOADERS SUCK - GET A JOB AND STOP WAISTING OTHER PEOPLES TIME!!!!!!!!! THIS IS TO ALL THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A FREE WEDDING!!!

Try Brother Entertainment, and ask for Nikki!

What is the deal with asking for sponsors? I would never have asked for a sponsor...especially when it is our day! Accept the responsibility. Dont you think having the company logo of these "sponsors" all over your wedding accessories would be TACKY?? If you cannot afford a big elegant wedding, either dont have one quite so large/expensive, or postpone until you can save enough to fulful your desires. Asking for someone or some company to support your responsibility is entirely un-necessary, and quite rude. If you decide to continue with your wedding, disregarding any of our opinions, good luck -- but here`s a small hint or two: many consignment shops and places such as Goodwill sell wedding gowns at reasonable prices. You may also find that you can buy lots of simple, but pretty, wedding decorations at your local Dollar General, or Dollar Stores. Our wedding only costed us close to $2500.00 -- that sounds better than $5400.00I dont know if I am underestimating, but I believe most of the brides that review your price tag assume that it is fairly unreasonable and high. I just got married two weeks ago, I am 20 and he is 25, and we paid for everything by ourselves. We have a stable home, job, and both families are financially above average - point being, it was OUR wedding, WE took on the bill. Your families shouldnt be responsible to foot your bill -- that is a day for you - accept it. If one side has more money than the other, maybe as your gift they will give you a small amount, but the other side should not feel any guilt in attending your ceremony because they dont have the money to help you. Also, I`m sure you have heard this before, but if you do find a sponsor: DONT expect any gifts, enjoy your ceremony because that is your gift.

Some people amaze me.

Hi Dee,
I am recently engaged myself, and looking for similar sponsorship. Did you get any constructive information? Or just crazy, bitter, bitches complaining about what they spent on their weddings. I can see from your responses, that this isn`t the place for help, only heartless criticism. Really ladies some of you seriously need to get laid.

Michelle,
Only vulgar low class, excuse me, classless, women like you ask for sponsorships, that`s why no one wants to sponsor your girls, they don`t want to be represented by such SCUM - get the idea, your attitudes or "requests" are not welcome.

What is the deal here? This person, DeeDee is simply asking for advice possibly from others who might be in her situation or from empathetic individuals. Why does that call for name calling and putting down someone that you do not know? Moreover, why do some people insist they truly understand her full situation? Maybe she saw the show and thought it to be a good idea, maybe something else, only SHE knows her situation. It does not matter, if you have no good advice to give, DO NOT GIVE IT. DeeDee, best of luck with your wedding.

Angela C., you really need some class, a@@ or something...bitter cow.
