This is sooooo not what I envisioned.....
I am such a planner and I had an A list and a B list for this very reason. A family member said that they would help pay for some cost. So we didn't do the B list anymore because the amount would cover everyone. As you may predict, we won't be getting any help for the wedding and we have invited well over what we can afford, including my mom's friends that I don't even know. I am so frustrated and stressed because I should have gone with my original plan. Now my FH and I are trying to cut back but its just not enough.
My thought is to have a private reception. But most of our guest are out of town. How do yoi tell them they can only be a part of the ceremony? I just don't know what to do. HELP. We sent save the dates to 260 people and can only afford 150. This is a big mess! I need to chat with some other brides.
I'm thinking of
