Weddings on a Shoestring Budget

So you’re engaged now, but you’re figuring out that you will have to pay for everything out of your own (and your future husband’s) pocket.  Maybe you are estranged from your parents; maybe your parents have sadly passed away; or maybe your parents are simply too poor to even help pay a small fraction of your wedding costs.  So what do you do?  You want to have a beautiful wedding, but you and your future husband aren’t exactly rolling in the dough.  You will need to first figure out how much wedding you can afford, set your budget, save up for it, and plan everything according to your budget.

Hello, brides-to-be!  (And grooms-to-be, too!)  If you're looking for tips to plan your wedding on a shoestring budget, this is the place to be.  I will share how I planned my wedding for under $2000.  Yes, under $2000!!  Keep in mind we had less than 50 guests at our wedding, so your actual mileage may vary, but these tips can still help you keep your wedding within a reasonable budget!
