So I finally remembered to take a photo of FH's great grandmothers ring. FH used her diamonds for my ring. We will be using the smaller diamonds for my band too. Love it to pieces! Let's see your heirloom rings!

So looking at our guest list there is 106 on the grooms side (only family) and 93 on the brides side including her friends. How do you weed down family? We need to get down to 200. Any help is appreciated!!

So FH and I are trying to budget for the wedding. Our venue is letting us provide the alcohol rather than using theirs which would tack on $5,000 (they don't do consumption bars). We are looking at 180 people if everybody comes. Would this be enough...

Okay so I have been reading a lot of comments and people are wildly against this. Not my thing either, wouldn't want to do that myself at all. But I did have a friend who did this, small wedding- very nontraditional. Only 35..maybe 40 or so people...
