Hey everyone,
I am trying to cut costs the best that I can and I've been wanting to do a pot luck/bbq type of dinner but my FH is worried that there won't be enough food. We cut the guest list down from 130 to about 95-100 - depends on who shows, and who brings their kids. But like, we're trying to save for a house which is why we want this to be so cost friendly and the thing is that i want a wedding i don't want to elope, and i know that there's a lot to pay for. i'm just struggling to find ways to save and also not cut on things that are important. We have 2 top choices for venues, one is in town and is a family friends (a bit outdated) beach side cottage which will cost less but we'll have to pay for EVERYTHING from chairs- linens, etc. and he is keen on selling the property this year and our wedding is Sept 2020. Or we have this very beautiful retreat type venue that is also like a vacation but it costs more and we can't use the kitchen to cook, but we can use their bbqs i think - maybe bring our own, and we can use the fridge to store stuff. but it's like an hour away so how would some dishes stay warm on the trip?
It would be nice to just have a big backyard wedding but I don't have a house or a close friend/family member who has a big yard that isn't 5-8 hours away.
I'm just so stressed out. Does any one have any tips?
