Hey all!
For some background info, I’ve been engaged for 3 years and this is my 3rd go at planning. Right after my engagement I was eager to start planning but was punched in the gut at the cost of what would be the wedding of my dreams and gave up on the idea pretty quickly. Second time I attempted COVID came about and I lost my job so there went that.
With things slightly going back to normal I’ve decided to try again and come to terms with the fact that I cannot exactly afford what I had in mind and I’m trying my best to not let it discourage me. Any tips or advice on ways to cut cost and make this experience more affordable would be greatly appreciated it! All venues I’ve looked at have seemed to be insanely priced.. I’ve tried cutting my guest list some, but it’s really all very close friends and family so I’m not sure what else to do? I feel like I’d be spending most of my money on the amount of people I’d be having than anything else. Who knew the 1 day of your dreams could cost you all the money in the world 🥴
