dont even stress it, its done with and its $16, nothing that put you in the hole. And btw most garters on ebay are about that much. I bought my garter from ebay and it was around that price too, so even if you did it would've been the same thing.
Is there anything i overpaid for? can i put the whole wedding![]()
I feel the same way i wouldn't change my day but I just can't believe the amount of money I spent
Hair and makeup....also limos considering we drove up the block!
The DJ...got plasmas and upgrades we didn't really need, and in the end they were rude to us, so I wish I didn't give them all that money.
there is one thing i do get annoyed about but thats bc i never saw the reason for it. I had booked only a party bus and a rolls royce. I figured out exactly how it would work and i thought my plan was great. I said the bus will pick up the guys first and take them to the church, then pick my girls up from my house and ill ride to the church in the rolls with my parents. Then i said that parents can take the rolls together after the church bc we will be on the bus with BP. Well of course that wasnt good enough, everyone kept saying how i should've booked another limo bc it wouldnt be enough and how will in-laws get to the church(it was 2 blocks away) basically after being told i was a bad person and made to feel bad, the week of my wedding i booked another limo only bc everyone told me my plan wouldn't work. Ok so yeah i hired the other limo, basically in-laws were in that limo alone after the ceremony and my parents were alone in the rolls, and then they all asked me why i booked the 3rd limo. They said they felt bad bc the truth was they didnt really need him.
Probably my veil and my shoes but I really loved them both and I don't regret it

I needed to get me, DH and a coupl eof our friends to the hotel after the wedding. I figured out who was coming to the hotel and figured we could all fit in one large van bc some people were taking their cars. The shuttle guy totally roped me into ordering a second van 'for comfort issues'. I didnt need the second van. I know this bc he showed up late after we were all in the first van. Oh well.

this happened to me too. FIL made a big stink about us getting a limo for him, 'and how could we did that, b/c he did that when he got married' and by the time the wedding came around the limo situation was a mess and HE ended up not going in it! $1200 down the drain![]()

I dunno, I don't think $16 for a garter counts as overpaying
Our wedding cake because we could have used the one included in our package but didn't. And our ceremony music. There is a woman on here who always gets rave reviews and we used someone else who cost a lot more and then ended up dropping the music and not playing the song right as I walked down the aisle.

Looking back, is there anything you totally overpaid for? Did you know at the time?
The only thing that comes to mind right now for me is my garter, and yes, I knew it at the time. I didn't have one, decided 2 days before that I did kind of want one, and I was running really low on time. I was picking up my new pair of wedding shoes at Sandy's and decided to buy a really overpriced ($16!) garter while I was there, and save myself the time and gas involved in hunting one down. If I planned ahead I'm sure I could have found something at walmart or ebay for $2.
In the end, it was nice to have one, it was pretty and in my pictures, and I'm glad I bought it, but I kick myself for paying $16 for a garter.![]()
Anyone else?
my headpiece....though im completely in love and obsessed with my headpiece and plan on saving it for maybe my daughter one day (if i have one lol) so i feel like it was worth every penny

Always assumed they were like $2 but maybe not? It wasnt anything custom and didn't come with a toss garter, guess I feel a little better?
I would have to say I overpaid for my invitations...definitely. For what I got for my photography, I might have overpaid, but I'll make that final decision when I get my albums. And as much as I LOVED my cake...I'm sure the one from the hall would have been fine. I did love my cake, but it was def overpriced.
