How much is too cheap?

So I have a guest list of about 90 people including the wedding party. We don't have very much money at all and are paying for everything ourselves. We intend on having a meal served and lots of booze, (don't worry I'm not asking for a honeymoon fund) but I was wondering how much is usually the norm to spend on a small budget wedding? Are there specific things I can substitute without seeming cheap that everyone will still have a great time? Who else has or had a small budget and how did it work out for you? I know there are a lot of diy things one can do but is there a limit? Lowering the guest count isn't really an option because it's already strictly close family and friends. Any suggestions would be helpful. Pushing back the wedding is out of the question for multiple reasons I'd rather not discuss.

My wedding is only going to cost 5000 for 150 people! But that's because the ceremony and reception will be at the same place which is only 1,000 and Pop and beer are included. I'm buying the wine! The carter is only 1,500 or so because my dad host a special prom for the the special needs kids from a local high school so they gave me a great deal! My dress was only 89 originally it was over 800 but it got discontinued! Also a lot of my wedding stuff I got for free from a friend that ended up not using it. And I also joined groups on fb that sell wedding things for cheaper! Good luck!

We are having 40ish people at ours, a lot of things we are doing ourselves. Pretty much everything we can. We are still at $10,000
I am in South Florida. It all depends on your area too.
