Wedding Pillow Basket
Wedding at home??
Well I’m planning my wedding for Aug 30, 08 and we’re on a small budget. My mom is letting me have it at her house (ceremony outside and reception inside). It’s going to be a small wedding (around 50 guests). I’m just needing ideas on where to start. I already have my dress, flowergirl dress (which is my 2 yr old daughter). I have all of this picked out (not purchased yet): flowers, centerpieces, unity candles, flowergirl basket, ring pillow, guestbook, bridesmaids dresses. We haven’t picked out the grooms or groomsmen tuxes yet (which we are going tomorrow). Anyway, I’m just needing some ideas and need to know where to start, lol! I know it’s only 3 months away (12wks, 2 days lol). Thanks! lol =)
Hi and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
You are off to a great start! You have lots done already.
A few ideas/suggestions:
~ Don’t forget to figure in the cost of an officiant and the marriage license.
~ You do NOT have to have a unity candle if you don’t want to. But if you do, go to Walmart or Target for these things.
~ Ditto for the guest book. To be honest, I have never figured out the purpose of a guestbook. Do you really look at the signatures after? People sign their names, and that’s it. It is put away. With a guest list of 50, it is really unnecessary. But, again, if you want one….they have these at Walmart and I have even seen them at Dollar Tree.
~ Invitations: Go to Michaels, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, Office Max, etc. and buy one of the boxed sets of invitations. You bring these home and print them yourself on the computer! Very easy and inexpensive. If there is a Michaels Craft Store near you, go there. And….ask at the register for one of their 40% off coupons. The boxed sets of invitations run about $30, but with the 40% off it brings it down to $18.
~ Unless your really need a “head count,” I would totally skip the RSVP (you will save on stamps.) Just figure that everyone invited WILL be there!
~ Flowers AND Cake: I always encourage brides to check out large grocery stores that have a floral department and a bakery. These places have experienced floral designers AND bakers. And….they will be substantially cheaper than going to a regular florist or a bakery. Check it out! (Oh, I just remembered that you already have the flowers picked out.) Well, anyway, check out a grocery store bakery for the cake!
~ Music: Perhaps play some soft music in the background with an ipod.
~ FOOD!! Important! What do you plan to serve? A meal to serve 50 people is not really that hard. I would pick a meat, starch, veggie, salad(s), rolls.
~ Try to recruit someone to be the photographer! If you live near a college or university, you may be able to get a photography student to come and do some pictures. Just an idea…..
~ Gifts for attendants?
~ Rehearsal dinner?
Well, those are my suggestions. I hope you have a beautiful day!
