I try to use my amex for everything i can since i get points. A lot of places dont take it though. So far i have used it for my wedding gown, invites and favors. I pay if off right away though
we're in the same boat... we were all ready to pay cash for everything and had a whole savings plan set up... when we decided to now buy a house... we should be closing in a few weeks so those mortgage payments will be starting soon... so yes.. we will definitely have to place stuff on the credit card now... we plan to pay as much as we can w/ cash but we will have to charge it & then use our gifts to pay off the debt after the wedding.... you're not alone!
this actually reminds me, what vendors will let you charge? i mean i think every vendor makes you have a cash deposit, but can you charge the rest? we're probably gonna be charging most of the wedding only because we're paying for it ourselves mostly

Yup, but just for the miles/hotel points. Paying it off each month...
Same here. I was really hoping that our hall would take CC payments too.![]()
i feel like you do what You need to do and are comfortable doing to make that day special. Dont let guilt overshadow an very important day! do what you can with funds readibly available and then adjust your credit....it is bound to happen, in my opinion!
we'll probably have to put the honeymoon on a CC then pay if off with some of the gifts. other than that im not using it!
If you can get a 0% apr, then that's great....however I have friends that are STILL paying their wedding off & they were married 6 years ago!!! Just be careful, & be smart...and DEFINETLY look into 0% apr, even if it means transfering the balances onto one card. Be & my FH booked everything with cash deposits, and now are just banking all our money & hopefully have enough saved!! I definetly understand ur situation because last minute me father decided not to give us a dime towards wedding expenses, however you dont want debt to be a burden the first year of your marraige! Just be smart about it! Good Luck!
A very minimal amount...some deposits and other things for security purposes
guilty! we put the little things on credit card (like the ring bearer pillow, card box, etc.) and the florist was paid entirely with a credit card. but every thing else was paid with cash.

I am trying to put as much as possible on credit for miles!!
But I am able to pay in full each month
I hope we do not, but with the house hunting looking promising, we may.
we are paying alot on credit card...Our hall was paid in cash ....and some of the vendors are included with that....but i want to make sure we have enough cash for tipping the day of...(gratuity is a killer) I'd rather pay the credit cards off after the wedding than not have enough cash for the day of....I have a CC with 0% apr until July 2007.

Can you please tell me what credit card u have that offers the 0% APR til next year? FH and me are looking into signing up for one of those to put some wedding related expenses on it without getting ripped off with the interest. Thanks
