Tuesday Tips

How do you go about cutting unnecessary things out of the wedding (budget) if not necessary even if you want it really really bad?

Do you keep it in?

Do you spend the extra money?

Do you compromise?

I really wanted an aisle runner from original runner company but there was no way we were going to pay $500 for it so I had to compromise and now I am trying to find one that I really like on etsy.

We try to compromise and find something we still like/love but don't have to pay an arm and a leg for.  There are several things we're not doing or we had to scale down on in order to save money, but in the end God has provided and in many instances we've wound up with BETTER vendors for less money than we originally were going to spend!

We did this as well, but we each had one "get out of jail free" card. This was a one-time "I just gotta have it so please don't trip" free-bee. LOL. I used mine for videography and FI used it to get his family off his back about not inviting a handful of people (who have yet to RSVP btw).
