Well the day is almost here so I thought I would share with you some of the things I have learned along the way.
1.Make as much of it as you can, you can personalize everything at half the cost.
2. Utilize all of the talented people in your family, everytime someone said "is there anything I can do to help" I said YES, you dont have to do it all alone.
3. Look for bargains. Hobby Lobby %40 off coupons, EBAY, Michaels sales. Big Lots. Dollar stores
4. Look outside wedding stores for dresses, we found the flower girl dresses at Dillards for %70 off. The bridesmaids at Victoria Secret %60 off.
Grandma: alterations, ring bearer pillow, signature matt board
Grandma 2: chocolate cars, motorcycles
Future sis in law: Cake and cupcakes
Mom: personalized ailse runner, banner, card box, unity candles, misc
Bride: DVD wedding invitations
Brides bff: music for reception
Aunt: wedding music
Aunts: catering food
Aunt: flowers
Adopted Aunt: Mr and Mrs Chair covers
Dad: Photographer
Uncle and grandpa: Chairs and tables
FH: Keg and grunt work setting up.
Thanks to everyone here for helping with all of the ideas and advice~!!!!!!!!!!!
