You can have a great wedding for around 15K. I did that for 100 people 4 years ago, Top hotel,no scrimping etc. I don't understand where people get figures of 30K.
Rons bang on, its only when you've been at a lot of weddings that you see what works, what doesnt and where money has been wasted. See this other thread in LOS
Specify only cash as wedding gifts . Dont allow kids as they dont bring money with them. .
Pretend its for charity. Advertise your wedding as a joint event to accomodate a fund raiser for an overseas charity. You'd need to cover yourself but I'm sure you could do it. Also, setup the raffle so that you win the holiday. Honeymoon sorted.1. That is guranteed to land you with 50 toasters, its been discussed before and there is no way to do that. you can try by telling family to suggest cash if people ask but you end up looking really bad and mean if you ask directly for money.
2. a lot of guests give no present, you would be amazed at the amount of couples i talk to afterwards that say we can no present at all from a lot of people.
3. kids are cheaper to feed than adults.....10 for nuggets and chips V 50 for a full meal
4.i have my wedding in jan cause i want people to compain about the weather and i can go what to you expect its Jan.
but also because there is nothing else on and i want everyoen i invite to go.
5. and a raffle doesn't work, i've seen it in operation and unless you give the money to charity you look even more mean by the second.
these are just my experiences from being involved in a lot of weddings and hearing the good and the bad.
