I Need Help With My Wedding
Hi, I now just had my son. Who now is 5 months. I graduated with my son being 3 months old. I just got a job 2 months ago with my fiancee staying home with our son. We are planning to get married but with all the financial problems with trying to get food, baby milk and diapers there isn`t enough money to put into our wedding. I really want this wedding to happen he is my knight in shining armor. We`ve been together for 2 years now and are each others high school sweethearts. We told each other that we will be together ALWAYS n FOREVER, and I just want that to happen. Please if you can help.

I have a few sugestions, I myself have lil money to plane our wedding are budget started at 2500 which was low enuf and now do to life we have had to cut it down even more to about 1000. The wedding itself is fairly cheap its the reception that is alot of money you can save in many places like have an out door wedding if you have a park use that they sometimes only ask for a donation our is a min of $50.00 if its a nice park dont dearate it ours we are not alowed to so that helps then are ministor is free call around to find one even if you dont go to church the reception call around we did not go with a hall to much money we found a great restraunt with a banquet room $100.00 for the room or free with $100.00 worth of food there is a bar however we are not paying for everyone to drink also for ur weddind shower ask for stuff you need for the big day like guest book toasting glasses gift certifacates to the palce that u want to get ur hair done one of the big $$$ things is going to b a cake so we have desided to have a few family members bake our favorite treats and we will be haveing a sweet goodie tabel instead of a $500.00 cake that noone realy likes. Wedding are about the couple put in ur flare in it dont worrie about what it should b do it the way u want. My soon to b hubby and I are also decarting are reception very cheaply we are doing a 1920s theme printing wanted signs of are bridal party and friends and family along with other gansters of the past to decarate with all we will need for that is ink and paper and a lighter lol. If you dont have to have a formal dress go to the mall after prom u can find a great one on sale that way or even online now! there are many many ways to save . You just have to look and call and ask around and be creative. GOOD LUCK and Best wishes

My advice would be to find a hall like VFW hall. You can find a caterier or have family cook. Do a Buffett style, choose easy meal. Like grilled chicken (buy frozen in a bag), choose an easy potatoe dish, same with a pasta, may be corn for your veggie and everything for a salads. Salads are very filling and inexpensive. Have your wedding during the week ,not on a weekend. Dont have a big wedding, maybe a chapel, the less people at the wedding the cheaper it will be. Have family only there and invite friends with family to the reception. Oh, your dress order on line, shopping around you can skip the middle man. I found a very nice dress online for less the $500.00 plus shipped right to my house(brand new). Just make sure you give your self time. As time goes on start buy the stuff you need. I hope some of this advice well help.
