Curious and Very Not Proper Etiquette

We are at 5k, with an additional 2k set aside for honeymoon. Budget was 3k but guest list exploded. So far 120 expected. Had to cut corners on my custom ring, won't get the custom band until first anniversary ( have a beautiful sub band though)but Hey I wanted a honeymoon. Save alot with my venue and food-simple but elegant. And having wine only for the bar. I basically arts and crafted the whole wedding, and etched all the wine glasses for favors. MIL bought napkins when she caught me making them. Made my own archway. Programmed All my music. Also made flower-girl dresses. Basically worked my butt off. Got it done 11days to go and lost 30lbs doing it. I'm really glad I don't do divorce! I need a vacation from my wedding.

Our budget was originally $6,000, but I've conceded that that's fantasy (especially considering my very traditional grandmother is insisting on a lot of niceties that I would rather have scrapped, and we can't exactly say no since she's footing the bulk of the bill). Right now our goal is to keep it under $9,000!
