I am constantly finding that I cant find things cheap enough. I want a nice wedding, my parents aren't going to help me AT ALL, and I just can't seem to save enough money. My fiance and I are both in our last year of college, but we are heart-set on getting married next summer. Our budget for just the ceremony and reception is about $3500. I am finding that things are more expensive than I had thought, but I am still trying to take the cheapest route that will still make me happy. We want a cruise for our honey moon and have estimated that to be about $3000. so total about $7000 (including any extras... tips... accidents.. etc.) is this reasonable or not? I mean I want everyone to still have fun and it to be a great day for us as well. with $200 I have almost all of my decorations for both the ceremony and the reception. and for $160 I can have all of my invites, thank yous, and enclosure cards. Our ceremony site is free but we want to put in a $100 donation. Im just lost here!
