My fiance and I are preparing on acquiring married this autumn, either September or October, in an outside venue in the vicinity of in which we stay. Colours are tangerine and ivory. We are heading to have close to fifty visitors. The venue by itself is only $ 10! However, we will will need to lease tents, tables, and chairs. I am looking for some income saving tips from brides who have been in my situation before. We are paying for anything ourselves, so I want some suggestions for saving income on meals, flowers, favors, and so forth.
Right here are the methods we have taken so significantly:
one.) Diy Invitation Kit from Michael's: 30-count, with the invitations, response cards, envelopes, and quite much every thing else you require for about $ 30, so only about $ 60 for all our invitations.

2.) Skipping Out on the Expensive Caterer: Given that we are from a rural region and we are performing the marriage ceremony outside with only about fifty friends, we are catering the wedding ceremony ourselves. We are going to grill steak, chicken, and pork chops, and have baked potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, vegetable kabobs, and salad. We're carrying out the classic wedding cake, plus "cake balls" and brownies (mint brownies, peanut butter cup brownies, walnut brownies, etc.). We are also not serving alcohol. He does not drink, I will still only be twenty, and most of our loved ones members will be drunken rednecks if served no cost alcohol! We will be serving canned sodas and bottled drinking water.

three.) Small Wedding Party: We only have a couple of shut close friends, so we are only going to have 1 on my side and a single on his.
4.) Significantly less Formal Attire: I will be wearing a quick gown and he will be in black slacks or khakis and a dress shirt and tie. Neither of us enjoy to gown up and I would dislike for us to look uncomfortable on our special day!
5.) Far more Reasonably priced Rings: My ring will be cubic zirconia and sterling silver. I know it will not hold up for long, but the diamond rings I enjoy are way out of our price tag assortment, and we can often get on later in existence when we're a lot more monetarily secure. He will possibly have a carbon fiber ring.

Uzie Suzie, thank you so much for these great suggestions! I have been contemplating the tent issue far more and far more recently, and I'm pondering it truly may be a no. We aren't even heading to have dancing, anyways. What do you feel about arranging the tables in a semi-circle formation and acquiring the friends just sit at the tables for the duration of the ceremony itself? Just something I've been pondering..
theologygirl, Thank you so significantly for the tips! I will definitely check out your website. I agree about the frozen steaks and chicken. Really, we may possibly not do pork chops at all. Most people wouldn't skip them with steaks and chicken!
I am partial to fresh new flowers, but I identified some excellent costs on web sites like costco.com and samsclub.com. We're thinking of doing mason jars with boquets in them for centerpieces. Gerbera daisies, possibly.
