    As a wedding gift to my step son, We payed for a caricature artist. It was an ABSOLUTE HIT!!! Everyone wanted one badly. The artist even did a caricature of the entire wedding party photo, to be framed. It was their favorite gift. Absolutely everyone loved it, and it cost us less than $350. So I highly suggest for anyone getting married to ask for this to be a gift.

    I love your tip on not doing wedding favors. I didn’t do any for my wedding either. I personally HATE the idea the we’re supposed to send guests home with a dumb little gift AFTER we just paid for food, dancing, and drinking for 100+ people. Like every guest just enjoyed a nice free meal and alcohol, they don’t need a silly gift with my wedding date on it too, in my opinion.

    And most likely, the favor would be ignored/thrown away by many of the guests, as it is usually a thematic thing that holds sentimental value for only a fraction of the people present... unless it's something useful, which would usually cost more.

    If you’re getting married in a church that has a liturgical cycle, try to book your wedding the Saturday after Easter Sunday or within the octave of Christmas. Churches go all out with flowers at that time. You could also talk to the Altar Guild (or who ever does the flowers) about donating the money for the flowers for church that Sunday and ask if they can do them for Saturday because you’re getting married that day during tell the. What you’re looking for. Our church has a professional florist who donates her time to do the flowers Friday afternoon. This way you can get a charitable tax receipt.

    I liked that you talked about the $2 equals $200 and what else you could add or save to your wedding. We have a saying in our house "death by $10" meaning 5 or 10 here or there weekly, daily can add up to thousands of dollars in a year. Which, if you are planning a wedding or vacation or (fill in the blank) can be a game changer. To the people drinking a starbucks coffee three times a week, $15 x 52 = $624. Little changes can make a huge difference

    Instead of favors (and placecards) I’m getting a pack of black and white thank you cards from Hobby Lobby (for $10 total) and writing everyone personal thank you notes for coming to our wedding. It saves on favor money, doubles as a place card, and takes up that blank space on a charger for aesthetic purposes, without getting custom menus printed for lots of money. And it makes everyone feel special, and makes our wedding more personal.

Because the number one thing I've seen at the weddings I've been to (or worked as a waitress at) was that no one got to eat all their food or desserts. And the couple ends up with enough food or desserts to last months.

    Hi Jamie! I am planning a 40th anniversary/ wedding. When my husband and I got married 36 years ago, we couldn't afford a wedding. We got married by his step mother, who was a notary, in his dad's living room with both sets of his parents, and my mom. We didn't have a honeymoon because I was to start a new job 4 days later. SO! We are having my dream wedding on our 40th anniversary. CRAZY??? I know, it's still 4 years away, but that gives me time to save, save, save! Time to DIY, DIY, DIY! I am planning to pay for the venue, caterer, and rentals on a "lay-away" plan if you know what I mean. I have already spoken to two of the three, and they agreed to do so! You see, I am retired and we aren't debt free...YET! My question for you is... do you have any vow ideas? I haven't had a chance to do much research, but I have read a few. Not real crazy about what I've found so far. Please let me know what your thoughts are! Donna Payne

    I think paper goods are a big part of the "details" that we photographers are looking for. That being said, you don't need 80 peices of it for the average bride. You could even limit unique items like name cards to the head tables, so that you get that "wow" factor in your photos, but save on the coin as well.

    Great advice. I am doing favors though, they cost us about $.33 each. I’m also doing lighting in the form of fairy lights that I ordered from China at under a dollar each (about $25 to light the whole place). I’m saving by doing fake flowers and having my MOH arrange them (she was a florist), I’m making my wedding cake (I’m a professional), my fiancé’s SIL is a graphic designer and is doing our invitations at material cost, an old friend of his has a photography company and is doing our engagement and wedding pictures for less than half his normal rate, and the reception is at his grandparents’ church (which my artist bridesmaid and her team is decorating the night before). This is great because I only have five months of planning while working and going to college full time.

    Sad about the lawn games comment lol as a future bride who hates dancing (I know boo me) it such a more fun-sounding activity than being embarrassed on a dance floor haha. Were planning on having a lot of options for lawn games so it feels more like a backyard summer get together than a formal event. I guess we're also just not going a very traditional route so that adds to it.

    We are using postcards we've collected throughout years of travels as our save the date cards that direct ppl to our website. So everybody will get a different one. Yes, we have to hand-write all of them, but we like that it's more personal. And then we are thinking of making a video as the official invite. It's 2019, why does invitations have to be in paper form? Lol... Just our 2 cent...

We have a cab company in our city that has nice white Lincoln town cars and they charge by distance the same way as if you'd take a regular cab.

    Rewatching this to refresh my memory, and help me with my budget. I am following most of these, although I'm doubling the favors as thank you's. I'm getting mason jars (cheaply from thrift stores), and, using a cute soap mold I got, adding some little soap bars, along with a snack bag or two for munchies if they want. Top it off with a simple card, and they have 1. something to keep, 2. something to use, and 3. a little something to nibble on, whether at the party, or later. Since I already had most of the stuff, or was planning on getting it anyway, I figured "why not?" I'll definitely use any leftovers! 😄

    We got married in September for less than $5k. We did all the flowers for under $200 from Costco, we did fun punny favors - lifesavers with handwritten 'mint to be' tags and little jars of honey for our sweetest day. We also gave the mercury glass votives that were on the tables with candles and flowers to the guests. We tried to mostly buy things for the wedding that we would have a use for afterwards.

I also chose to use comic book flowers for everything rather than real ones or silks, which brings our theme into the ceremony and it supported the businesses on Etsy. Also, for a future video, it may be neat to purchase some things on Etsy for a mini haul? So far I've bought my flowers, hangers for my bridesmaids, and I've considered thank-you boxes?

    I think I agree with the lawn games to a degree - For example, if the guests have to go out of their way to find the lawn games, I can see how they may not get used as much. Whereas, if one is at a venue where the grassy area is in the middle of everything where most of the guests are hanging out, they might get used more. So maybe it's worth the investment in that case. So, I think it just depends on the location of the lawn games within the venue.
