More Wedding Ideas
I just remembered a couple more ideas for my wedding next fall. I was invited to a wedding about a year ago or so on behalf of one of my cousins who was a bridesmaid at this particular wedding. The bridesmaids at this wedding had different style dresses, but each of them wore a black dress. I assumed this was to cut down on expenses. I am going to do the same for my wedding, I only have two bridesmaids, I may add a third, I don`t know. That way the bridesmaids don`t have to worry about buying a potentially expensive dress, it should be something they already have, or can get fairly inexpensively. I guess I should mention that my fiance and I have a nightime wedding planned, so black dresses won`t look weird or anything. My fiance and I also decided that we are going to give our guests an option of giving us straight money or a gift from as registry list.

I`m also letting my bridesmaids pick out their dresses as long as the colors match (although I`m going with navy blue). You might have them check out ebay, I got a dress for my little sister (my MOH) for $15 and it`s absoulutely fabulous. Just make sure they know their measurements so that they can buy a dress that fits. I also got my wedding dress on ebay and it`s fabulous, fits perfectly, and was only $100. Another idea that i got was to buy tuxes off of ebay. What`s great about this is that it costs the same or less than a rental, but if you`re not someone who will use it again, you can just sell it after the wedding and recoup some of your money and if not you`ve got a tux and won`t have to rent one ever again. Anyway, I highly recommend checking out ebay.
