Anyone get a second job to pay for the wedding?

Hi all, I need your opinions.

My FH has money saved but thinks its more important to save his money to buy us an apartment/condo in a couple years. (Which obviously is smart/responsible.) But, my parents didn't give us the biggest budget for the wedding. So, I was curious if any other LI Weddings bride got a small part-time job to help with all the 100s of little expenses that crept up? I have so much restaurant experience from HS and College and I want to get something like 2-3x per week and then maybe I will be able to be a bit more worry-free about booking music for the ceremony, DJ, BM gifts, etc..

What do you think? Good idea? Help! and TIA!

Definitely not a bad idea!! I've actually been selling mary Kay to make some extra money on the side...it's worked out great to help me pay for the extras I can take care of now, like my veil and headpiece, favors, invitations, limo and other little payments along the way!!

Oo - yay! That's exactly what I'm hoping will happen for me too. So happy to hear I'm not alone! :)

I got a job working on the weekends (some saturdays and every sunday). It is not alot of extra cash but it def. helps with the little expenses I have every week and helps me save more for the wedding.. I think its a good idea.

I am definately thinking about it but not until the the year mark of my wedding. i want to see how much I have paid off in 6 months and see if i will be able to pay off the rest without needing a job for the year.
