What are your all’s budgets? I am trying to spend as LITTLE as possible. The majority of cost of a wedding is the venue, and luckily we have a family member with an event barn, so this will be free for us. She has staff as well, so catering will be pennies compared to other things. Any other ideas...

We most definitely aren’t having programs, but i just went to a wedding where they made popcorn balls as the favors so we might try something diy like that

I'm doing almost everything myself & keeping the # of guests to under 30. We're only having a MOH & BM. Our venue is a B&B w/ restaurant & we're spending a lot in food but keeping the cost on everything else down. Ok, will be spending on photographer since that's the one thing you really don't want to go cheap on. Total cost should be under $8000.

I'd look into cheaper catering, like BBQ or Mexican. Then just beer & wine instead of a full open bar! I'd skip favors, programs & menus too.

Ours is 6,000-7,000. I am making my own invites, favors and all the reception decor to Save on the cost. Luckily we started 2 years early so we were able to find a lot on sale. Our venue takes care of all of the catering and the cake included in the cost! Our photographer is $1400 and the DJ we got at an off season discounted rate as well.
