I want to have a nice wedding. However I know it want be like the dream wedding that I always want it as a little girl but something that is somewhat similar. A wedding we can enjoy celebrate and create and have memories of for a light time. Also I don’t want to go over the budget that we set so I want to create something beautiful. How do we do that without stressing out? This is my first time planning a big event like this and I feel that it’s going to take a lot of work.

    Yes my fiancé and I agreed on the all inclusive package. But we need to think about the price and what within the different packages we’re looking to have. I know we want to do that ceremony and reception all at the same place so most of our family members who are traveling don’t have to drive a lot which I understand but at the same time I don’t want it to become very expensive for us also. Such as with the in house catering, the bar and more. So we are going to have to look in discuss the different packages some of the venues are offering but cutting out things we don’t need. I have to keep reminding him this is our wedding not our wedding and everyone else’s.

    Yes I agree I see it now that we are going to be over our budget due to us or should I say my fiancé wanting to add different things. However, I am definitely going to take your advice on looking and buying wedding things on Facebook marketplace. Thanks 😊

    Hey!
    Pinterest has a lot of tik toks about things people regret/take out in terms of price for a less expensive wedding. For example, not many bridesmaids will use "bridesmaid" labeled wedding gifts after the ceremony. You can also use Amazon for a lot of decorations or find a venue with those things included. I second the Air bnb idea - VRBO is another good site that has cheaper housing! And believe it or not, Amazon has wrap bridesmaid dresses for under 60$, which is great for bridesmaids. Hope this helps!
