Just hang in there everything will fall into place! Try asking your caterer or other venders for refferals I know my photographer took a percentage off my bill because I used someone he reffered! It will help out a little bit!
Another thing that I did was I went to my High school and asked if they had a book of invitations that I could order out of because they don't make a profit off the invitations which made the invitations a lot cheaper

I couldn't imagine spending that much on a wedding. I'm from a small town(2300 people) and my wedding only cost about $2K. I got off really cheap. Sometimes I wish I could do it over again though because I would do a few things differently so that they would have been nicer. Good luck though and CONGRATS!

confident, you're able to easily take their ideas into attention. it is their money, they might desire to have a say in the place it is going. yet on the comparable time, the folk giving the money could understand that it is the couple's wedding ceremony, so whilst it is ok to signify issues, it is not ok to take over and make judgements for them in keeping with what you pick. 2 circumstances, 2 distinctive consequences: My wedding ceremony: we paid the final public, my father and stepmother provided to pay for the area value. This grew to become into extremely beneficiant of them ($3,000 that's plenty to me!). they simply asked if we would desire to upload something else onto the menu (which we've been identifying to purchase), which might value us $6 extra according to individual. We agreed, because it grew to become right into a lifelike request. something of each and every thing grew to become into our determination, we had the marriage we necessary with out matters from kinfolk stressful issues (different than Grandma stressful specific human beings we did no longer understand be invited!). My MOH's wedding ceremony a month later: Her determine's have been identifying to purchase the full factor. Her mom controlled each and every thing, from the colors, to the decor, to the bridesmaids outfits. The bride had little or no say and while each and every week earlier the marriage, I asked her what her centerpieces could appear like, she had no theory. each and every question I had, she did no longer understand because of the fact she had given up battling her mom for what she wanted. What she ended up with grew to become into somebody else's wedding ceremony. It wasn't hers or her husband's. It grew to become into her mom's. all of it boils all the way down to uncomplicated courtesy and compromise.

For the life of me...I will never be able to understand why anyone would in debt for a wedding. Sure, I would have liked to have had a better one than I did. But we couldn't afford it. We were more concerned about our marriage. We got married by the Justice of the Peace.....had a few guests at the small reception at our own apt. But at least I can say it has lasted for 30 years and still going. My poor parents even had a worse one than I did...and they will soon celebrate their 72nd anniversary.
Sorry...but I feel sorry for people like you who worry more over an event that will last maybe a couple of hours...verses what lies ahead for you the rest of your married life. Kinda reminds me of the old saying......"A fool and his money are soon parted."
But I WILL say this...I do wish you guys all the luck in the world. Cause I fear you are going to need it.

that why you don't have a huge wedding until you know you can pay cash money for it. but I'm will be getting married in about 7 months and I'm worry about the money thing also. don't let it stress you out because then that big day won't be good all you will be worry about is money.

The mere mention of the word wedding evokes visions of $$$ among businesses.
Too bad.
