I’m starting to feel very overwhelmed by the cost of the wedding--- I Feel like RI is so pricey. I sometimes go on other boards and I see people from other states (like down South) with gorgeous wedding and they are talking about meals at $39pp.---OMG! That is so cheap.
I feel like I am doing so much of my OWN stuff and that it should be cheaper. But food alone is like 70% of the budget.
I don’t want to sound like a waa—waaa I know we are all going through this, but I seriously don’t think that a wedding on our budget is feasible. And believe me, its not a small budget, its like a nice down payment on a house.
My parents are helping us which is awesome- but the economy sucks, and money is tight! I don’t feel like I am not an “average” joe—as far as my paycheck and finances go—but I feel like every time I see a post or reccomndation on here--- I check about a photographer or event planner, etc on the boards…they are hugely over my budget… (where are you girls getting this moola haha)
What are some things that you girls are doing to save, cut costs, and be budget conscious?
I am starting to think I am spending too much money on my venue—and not budgeting enough money for a photographer, band, etc.
I just wanted to vent- because its super discouraging.
