What's the smallest part of your budget?

    Photography, Videography, sound and the pastor were free.

    Flowers. We bought wholesale and my sister in law did all the arrangements as our gift. Saved tons of money and they were beautiful.

    It will probably be stationary. We did not send out save the dates and instead called friends and family. We are also looking for super easy and cheap options for printing and will only be sending out invitations through the Post office as necessary. Everyone else will get theirs hand delivered.

    So far I would say invites. Got them through vista print with a 20% coupon from Retailmenot! 😂

    Smallest part of the budget is centerpieces. I am making them and thrift stores have been my best friend of materials

    I would say I would have liked to spend the least on flowers, but my mom had other ideas, and I guess I’m glad she did! We ended up spending the least on cake (aunt always does our family’s cakes as her gift), photography (would have been willing to spend a little extra on this but kind of lucked into a unique situation), and my accessories (most I already owned or were borrowed)!

    Oh and centerpieces/decorations! We inherited/DIY them! I felt the venue had enough character that I didn’t need too much Smiley smile

    Decorations probably. After the dress, tux, food, drink and his ring there isn't much left

    Hmm smallest part is probably decorations. The venue does all of them so I only have to bring a few personal things in like card box, seating chart, and bar sign all of which I am DIYing with supplies I have it home close to no cost.

    Well... my wedding dress is being gifted to me from a family friend who has made things for my family since I was a baby! Our music and MC is free, I had a friend offer to run all that. The smallest thing we will have to actually spend money on is $49 for custom signage to help direct people to the wedding venue since it will be on a college campus!

    I’d say hair and makeup is the smallest cost.

    So far, invitations. Got 50 invites with RSVP cards, envelopes and postage for about $40 total.

    The smallest part would be having my family involved. My granddad and uncle are marrying us. My cousins are my musicians. The venue is free because it is my uncles church, and my dress was free because it was my moms Smiley smile

    Photography and DJ - both are friends who gifted them to us. So we get pro-quality for free (because friends are amazing). Next would be my dress since we only paid for alterations - it was Grandma's (made and designed by Great Grandma - her MIL - Grandpa was an only child and she was excited to get a daughter).
