Non-traditional Everything!

Tonnia, on October 7, 2019 at 3:30 PM Posted in Planning 1 4

My FH and I are on a tight budget so we have gone a non-traditional route with a lot of things for our wedding.

First, we are having a courthouse ceremony and a small reception afterwards. It's also going to be on a Thursday evening in December because the venue was cheaper during this date. I am foregoing a wedding/event planner and we're doing all of the planning on our own. It is kind of overwhelming remembering the tiny details that go into planning a successful get together for close family and friends (For example: how much beer and wine to order, plastic vs. real glass and silverware, table arrangement, etc.). Are there any tips you would give to someone that is having a non-traditional celebration and/or planning on their own? Any advice is helpful!

Thanks! Smiley smile

    I am planning my own, and the wedding planner from Erin condren is my life saver. Seriously buy it. My MOH gave it to me and it keeps me organized. write notes, and tips in the back.

    Thank you Caitlin! That’s very helpful. I have random pieces of scrap paper that I write checklists and payment amounts on lol. Having everything in one place would make things much easier!

    I printed my own invites. Used cardstock and an online template. Bought some envelopes off Amazon.

    Thanks Melle! I went with Shutterfly for my invitations which worked out great, but I wish I would've thought to find a template online. I will definitely do that for any other stationary!
