So our budget is limited to $3,000. Part of the reason for a longer engagement is so we can actually save that $3,000. Even then, it's not much to work with.
I want a small, intimate wedding with immediate family only. I want to invest largely in the photographs because that is the only way I can really share with extended family and friends. And because the photographs are so important, I want to put the $3k towards photography, my dress, and beautiful floral details that will look amazing in pictures. I think it's reasonable.
But I'm also considering extended family and close friends, more for FH sake. I don't want to throw a cheap wedding, but we can't afford more than $10 a person. It's going to have to be a backyard pizza party or something.
I want to have memorable details, but I don't want to be remembered as throwing a cheap wedding reception. What about a potluck reception? Have people bring a dish in lieu of gifts?
