Wedding

Cara, on February 13, 2017 at 08:14 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 3
Is anyone else overwhelmed by this whole wedding thing? My fiance and I have had so many hurdles. Someone had the same date so we couldn't get our venue or photographer. So we have had to pick a new date. Everything is so costly. Venue, food at 32.00 per plate plus taxes and 15 percent gratuity. Did I mention we are pregnant? Yup expecting in July! I thought we could have a really nice wedding for 10,000 but it looks like it will be so much higher! I cannot even try dresses on because they do not fit right! Ha ha rant over!

    Congratulations on your pregnancy and engagement!

    I totally understand the overwhelmed feeling! But rest assured that all will be well Smiley smile You hve lots of time after baby comes to find a dress! You will just have to balance the shopping time, but I'm sure your FH can help out with that!

    Not getting the date you wanted is rough, but I am sure you can fins another venue, or move the date (I had to to get the place I wnated!)...that will seem like small potatoes in a year, I promise!

    I think budgets and pricing surprise a lot of brides. I was surprised, and I even worked in catering for a time! You can absolutely have a beautiful wedding for your budget- just be mindful of your guestlist. A smalled guestlist is the best way to save money, and you can do away with add ons like save the date cards, extra photography, tone down decor and florals...and Ask your friends here for more ideas! We do have lots! If you budget is $10,000, I urge you not to overextend yourself and spend much more than that- you will just stress yourself more. A huge pile of debt is a terrible way to start a marriage!

    First of all congratulations, a baby on the way is exciting!! I think it is very normal to feel stressed out. We have had several hurdles along the way! You are definitely not alone ! My wedding is August 12th, so now just under 6 months and even though I have so much done, I feel like I have so much left !
