Are you doing anything to make any extra income to help pay for the wedding? I decided to start selling scentsy.

    @Celia the FMIL as caterer was not an option..Lol...So if it's a disaster I am blaming both my fiance and her mother. As far as the cake, I have budgeted for a backup just in case

    I've been on care.com for years and have really started picking up jobs. I also just started selling LipSense

    I do UserTesting surveys. Pays about $15 for each. It doesn't make you rich and there are limited available, but it is super flexible. I am a second year teacher and work at a dance studio 4 nights a week already, so I needed something very flexible.

    I found a church that I work the daycare at. Sunday morning, Wednesday evening, and special events. They pay amazingly well and lots of parents ask for private babysitting, so I get extra hours that way!

    I'm a registered nurse. Found a side gig doing iv infusions in people's homes (think athletes and super healthy people who want more vitamins and things.) Also just got hired to give flu shots in the fall. Plus trying to pick up overtime at my real job. Makes for a busy busy life.

    I'm picking up extra call shifts and seeing patients after hours at the hospital I work at. I should be able to take October off from extra work and be done paying everything off without touching my emergency fund by January. So if I overspend, it's on me.

    I think I am going to sell off a bunch of my clothes, shoes, and furniture. I am moving 1100 miles after the wedding so anything I don't have to move, saves me money in addition to anything I make, I am just trying to sort out which sites to use!

    I had a second job, but it didn't last long bc I was always tired and the pay wasn't worth my time/aggravation. I'm going to wait and see the outcome of my lcsw test and whether I pass. If I pass, once I get my license, I'm going to look at private practice jobs. I'll be able to make decent money with doing what I love. We both make good money. We are able to put away 700 monthly towards the wedding.

    I am a full time web/UX designer/dev, but have many other side jobs I've been doing well before the wedding that allowed me to pay off $50k of student loan debt in 19 months.

    I'm an overnight pet sitter

    I have an Etsy shop

    And I do freelance design work

    I work at a restaurant so I've been picking up extra shifts, stating later, etc. FH has been picking up odd jobs where ever he can. Lawn mowing, pressure washing, the like.

    I'm like Jaylynn and moving literally two days after the wedding to another country. Selling stuff like my car and furniture will help cushion our savings back up after the wedding but no extra jobs or anything like that. We didn't want to temporarily overwhelm ourselves with extra stress and jobs for a one night party. We're working with what we have now.

    I've been considering driving for Lyft on nights and weekends, but I'd have to get permission from my full-time job first and I am dreading that conversation with my boss.

    ETA: But I am going to start listing some things on Craigslist and Facebook to sell, like furniture craft supplies, kitchen appliances. We moved from a two bedroom to a one bedroom apartment and really need to downsize some more anyway.

    I just recently quit my part time job at a clothing store. For my full time job I work at a school and I coached this past spring. I think I'm going to try and coach every season this upcoming school year to make a little extra money.
