| buy a bunch of roses and scatter the petals on the table rather than fancy decorations. buy urself a few church candles and press a few rose petals on them too.to be honest it doesnt overly matter what decorations you have as long as the food is sorted, what i did was have a brunch with finger foods and some spritzer wines. I had a winter wedding so there was sherry to heat up the guests when they arrived.its not fantastic ideas but you can have a look online at wedding planners, ring them and ask for advice over the fone on the pretense you are gona hire them and tell them your looking around and you would like to hear their best idea to help you choose |

| Okay, so you want to go cheap, eh? I suggest a few kegs of beer to get your guests simply blasted. Then they won't give a rat's a_ _ about what else you serve. I suggest a good old back yard barbeque. Hamburgers, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, and perhaps some grilled chicken sandwhiches would be fantastic, and you can have a bowl of potato salad and some chips. Simply cheap and no one will know that you hardly spent a cent. Just make sure you rent some latrines for the back yard so that your guests are not urinating on the rose bushes. |

| I went to a wedding recently where instead of a gift list it was a 'wedding list'. The list was full of things like brides bouquet, car hire, balloons, copy of photos taken etc.Perhaps you could ask your guests to bring a dish/bottle each instead of getting gifts from them. |

Everything About Your Wedding
Wedding Marketplace
Buy and sale all wedding related products.
Where and How to Start?
There’s so much to do, it can be mind-numbing. Don’t worry. I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky!
Wedding Invitation
Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
Wedding Attire
Where I come from, buying a tuxedo is virtually unheard of. Renting is probably the way to go to realize the ultimate savings on the groom’s attire.
Wedding Flowers
Cheap doesn't mean that your wedding flowers can't be beautiful. All flowers are lovely no matter what they cost.
Wedding Ceremony Decoration
Most wedding ceremonies are short and sweet, so why spend a majority...
Wedding Music
Music for your wedding ceremony could consist of live or recorded performances.
Wedding Photography
Pictures are priceless, and you want to be sure you have plenty of good pictures of your special day.
Wedding Favors
Some brides don’t like the idea of giving gifts to her guests, but we think it’s a nice gesture as a thank you...
Wedding Food
Wedding food can take a huge chunk out of your wedding budget.
Wedding Cake
Your wedding cake is the centerpiece of the reception. It is a scrumptious dessert as well as part of a tradition
Wedding Party
The question of whether or not to serve alcohol at your wedding is one that can cause dissension in the ranks of family.
