we are thinking no limos, DIY as much as possible. Debating doing my own makeup, buy Mom and Grandma will probably insist on professional lol. Make my own albums, maybe a basic video, nothing too crazy, and trying to keep CP cost down

Re: Money Savers
went from a band to a dj and will get very simple boks and make sure all flowers are in season.
then I am collecting stuff along the way, like for the bathroom baskets, whenever I am at Target or CVS I stroll by the clearance section to see if there is anything I can put in there. And little things like that I am picking up that I see on sale.
Other than that, I am checking in on LIW to see what deals are out there!!!

Re: Money Savers
Keeping bp down so that eliminates huge limos and tons of bouquets.
Keeping guest list down - less $ at RH and fewer centerpieces.
Definitely doing DIYs.
DJ instead of band

Re: Money Savers
1- No limos 2- small Dj package 2- Diy- invitations, programs, most of CPs, memory and unity candle, place cards 3- ceremony ay RH which was real cheap, next to nothing 4- people buying us the flutes, cake set, etc.... 5- getting great deals with vendors at great costs!!! P.S. and R6- flowers not getting too much so thatll keep the cost way down. I am cutting cost and still getting what I want, that is a big thing.
