I am on a very very tight budget, my other half and myself both only work part time, plus we are travelling from the UK, so I am making my own invites, the card and envelopes including sparkly mickey mouse resins all totalled £15 (no more than $25).
We are having the memories collection approx $2500+
I have bought silk roses for the men - 6 for under $10 Ebay
I will buy a cheap pair of flip flops and customise them (being married on Luau Beach)
I got my Daughters Dress in the sale for $15
I am going to try and get a cheap-ish dress for myself too.
There's a wedding outlet shop near my work with dresses from $120!
And when we go home we are having a huge party and cooking all our own buffet food. His cousin is also making our cake for us, so thats not costing us anything.
My hubby to be is a whiz with the computer, and we designed our own invites, save the dates, thank you cards, table numbers etc.
For bargains I would scan local buy and sell pages, freebie pages on facebook, Ebay, Etsy, DHGate (Chinese wholesale). Its crazy the amount of bargains out there!
