I'm a little confused for my wedding.?

Question

We were planning a wedding out of town and invited everyone about 135. Now the money we were using for the wedding is no longer available and I didn't know what to do except cancel the wedding. Other family members told me not to and to have it at our house. Our house will not fit that many people and we can't afford to rent a place and we can't unenvite people. My dress is elaborate and the men our wearing tux's. But I feel that's to formal for a living room wedding. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

have it at a banquet room or restaurant.

Answer 2

Do you have absolutely no money, or just a very scaled back budget?  If it's a scaled back budget, how about something local that's cheaper?  Maybe a fire hall (you could do some very nice decorating) or even rent a tent for your back yard?  Decorate with white lights and tulle.  It'll turn out gorgeous.  You can still wear your dress and tuxes even if it's a back yard wedding.  It's all about what you guys decide you want.  Who cares what people say is "right".  Make the best of your day and get what you wanted out of it.  Focus on your love and it'll all be okay.

Best of luck.

Answer 3

Do you have a friend or family member with a bigger yard? Can you downgrade the tuxes? If not, they will probably be fine. It's probably too late to do anything about your dress but I'm sure it will look fine too.

Enlist the help of all these family members who insist on you going through with your wedding. Get them to help out with any food prep, favors, flowers, driving around etc.

Remember it's not really about the wedding but a happy long marriage that counts!

Answer 4

You could have the ceremony at a Park, which is generally either free or very inexpensive.

As for the reception, you could do this at a local restaurant, have it at your house/backyard or the house of a family member or friend.

Halls can sometimes be fairly inexpensive to rent too (or churches with function rooms attached)- look around your area. You could hold both your ceremony and reception there.

Answer 5

I would say outdoor wedding....and get a tent. My parents were married in my grandmother's backyard with a tent. I saw the pictures and it was nice. plenty of room too.

Answer 6

See if you can rent a church...most of the time (especially if you are a parishioner) will let you rent their hall for a small donation!

Answer 7

start going to church! churches usually rent out for approx. $75 to nonmembers! which u can probably get ur folks 2 help wit dat. just send every1 a location change info this week! congrats &good luck!!!!!

Answer 8

maybe in a back yard or a park??

Answer 9

Do you have a backyard? If it's large enough, I suggest to

have your wedding there! Backyard weddings can turn out

VERY pretty, and cheap! Maybe just getting some flowers

and bouquets and whatnot around where the ceremony

will be taking place, it can turn out to be even prettier then

what you were previously planning. Hope all goes well with

your wedding and congratulations!  <3

Answer 10

keep the original plans for the ceremony, the dress, tux'etc.  then  is it possible to have an outdoor reception either at your home or maybe at a park.? you didnt say when the wedding is or where youre from. or  invite everyone to the ceremony .Since most churches have a hall  ,you could have cake and punch. then if you want, you can have the immediate family over to the house later.  

Its your day  It can be great if your creative and u can still be on a tight budget.
