We are having a "back-yard style" food truck wedding for 90-100 people (most of whom are close family) and I am hoping to get some suggestions on how to keep costs down. Right now my budget is at 11k and I would like to get it under 10k, but it feels impossible. We found a DIY venue for $550; but after considering chair rentals, linens, flatware, outdoor dance floor, lighting, etc. our costs are probably $1700 for that (we are also buying some lawn games like oversized jenga/connect 4/corn hole but the game aspect is important to us).
Our largest cost is catering- we are spending about $5300 to get 2 food trucks and a specialty ice cream truck. Our venue allows us to bring our own alcohol and that price also includes us bringing wine/beer and sodas/juices.
The other costs are on decorations, photography ($1k), cake ($350), wedding dress, invites, gifts to the groomsmen/bridesmaids, etc.
Anyone have hints, tips, tricks or stories about their own budget weddings?
