Recession Proof Wedding For $500
by Lynn
My fiance and I have been putting off our wedding for 2 years due to lack of finances. The stress of planning a wedding is enough to drive anyone insane before the big day. We have a 6 year old son who was recently diagnosed with autism and his therapy expenses will start adding up and that will just be another reason why we should put it off so we are just going low budget. We are getting married in October 2010 and are having a black and white themed wedding. Since it's close to Halloween I figured I could get many decorations on sale. I just graduated from culinary school and my husband is a chef so we are going to be really crazy and do as much of the food as possible the week of the wedding. We have some foodie friends that are willing to help out on the day of to take off the pressure. Since we know them well there won't be the stress of worrying if everything is getting done. I am planning to wear a black and white dress which should cost less than a traditional dress. We are doing the invitations ourselves as well. I am volunteering to clean a hall after other events in exchange they are going to waive the rental fee for us. All that's left is the rings and the cake. We are trying to keep the cost under $500 total but not to exceed $700.
