| Pardon me for asking, but who the h*ll plans a wedding at the same time they are trying to buy a house unless they are millionaires!!! Why don't you wait and have the wedding next year when you can actually have a wedding. You only have $500 left and you haven't gotten hardly anything yet. |

| You are going to have to have it at somebody's house. With only five hundred left you can't afford the permit much less all the rentals necessary. And seriously....it's called spell check. |

| If you want something outdoors for that small a budget you will be best advised to talk to a local park and see how much it would be to have it there, it's usually relatively cheap, sometimes free. You can check out local restaurant or lodge for the reception. Good luck with the camo vests, you are a nicer woman than I am, that's for sure! |

| Hi and congratulations!I love to help brides plan a budget wedding....but yours is NOT doable. You cannot get everything you need for a wedding AND reception with only $500.You CAN do a wedding with $1,000....but it would be something extremely small (20 people?)...maybe at the courthouse or your home and then out to eat after. That's it!You are forgetting everything you need for a wedding....even a small one:~ venue for both ceremony and reception - most places charge just to rent them....and then on top of it the food and beverages.~ attire for bride and groom~ bride's accessories (shoes, veil, jewelry)~ reception costs (for food and beverages)....this is 1/2 of your budget usually~ flowers~ cake~ attendant's gifts~ rehearsal~ photographer~ marriage license costs~ costs for officiant~ invitations and stampsNot to mention any "extras" that you want....like a DJ, limo, favors, videographer.No...postpone your wedding until you can save or go to the courthouse and have a small reception at your house with cake and champagne. |

| Well dont look at radtional wedding sites if youre getting married this June and only have a rand to work with! Have it at a park,a nice one. Then use some of that grand on tents so incase of rain you'll be dry. This would be good with your colors and vests! |
