Hi ladies! After my man proposed we started thinking, "How are two twenty-eight-year-olds with tons of college debt going to have a nice wedding??" We only had under a grand of spare cash and didn't want to have to have our parents chip in. We decided a "budget wedding " was all that we needed. Here's the breakdown: marriage license - $40. Invites - $50. Flowers - $50. Other decor: $30. Food - $550. cupcakes - $15. Rings - $20. Material for dress - $20 and I'm not a seamstress. Minister/DJ - free (a friend). Tuxedo - free (massage trade). Wedding planner/band and vocal coach - free (a massage trade) and hair - free. My point of this post is to encourage couples that are broke that with some creativity, you can still make your day special.
