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!

I did but I quite a month ago. I worked at a restaurant waitressing on Saturday nights, they were really busy so it was worth the one night and it def. helped out financially.

Oh wow- well, you're wedding is coming up - so I'd definitely quit around now, too! I'm so glad you said the one night was worth it. :) Thanks!!! Have a wonderful wedding!

I definitely think it's a good idea. I thought about it, but never did it - just never got around to it and luckily I didn't need the money REALLY bad -- although lately, my bank account gets REAL low right before payday. If I had done it, I would feel more secure about the HM, definitely, and might have upgraded some of the things I am doing for the wedding - not a ton though cuz I am pretty happy with the way things are.
Good luck!

Re: Anyone get a second job to pay for the wedding?
I didn't before our wedding, but I am actually contemplating it now. DH doesn't really have any bills, so all his money can go toward rent and whatnot, but I still have a TON of bills, student loan, etc., so I don't really know how much I can contribute to stuff for 'us.' He has a 2nd job and I feel really bad making him work his @$$ off and barely sleep when I am just pulling a 9-5. Uck I don't know...
