I enjoy speaking to all the ladies on LIW, but just want to see what are some of the Latina brides doing for their weddings. Let's talk about what music we want, what traditions are we incorporating into our ceremonies, reception, just anything!!! Let's get this ball rolling lol.

Also i was going overboard because i would see other ppl on this site saying what they were having and i wanted it too.. but then i realized im not them i have to whats best for me.
i know where to slurpe and were to be cheap so i have it down pack and some girls go for very high end stuff when mostly looks the same

Like you see girls that are having a photo booth, cigar rollers and all this other stuff and you want it too.

how much for each pp when u where a 2010 bride

It was $65 before tax and gratuity since i was in March in the afternoon but we are paying for all ourselves so it would be tight for us so we decided to just scale it down.
o ok not bad at all but i understand hope iam not putting myself in a whole

Exactly life goes on after that day and you cant put yourself in so much debt for one day.

Exactly!
kool thats even better are having a pro dj or like a family friend

Probably pro dj, we are doing everything normal like limos, dj, photos but just smaller venue. Probably will be doing my own centerpieces. Also cant forget about flowers
o ok do u want lighting from your dj

Ive been thinking about it since my reception will be at 7pm and the room is enclosed the lighting will look nicer.

trust me.. a $65.00pp with tax adn grat goes up to the $80's and $90s depending on gratuity.. it can be alot when you are paying for the wedding alone.. its 4 one day.. dont ruin your lives 4 it.. it will turn out nice no matter what!

You're such a sweetie Quia! It's so true.

FH and I make GREAT money....but I'm paying for everything and refuse to go into debt for a one day event. I decided to cap my spending at 1/3 my annual salary. Figure out what the right number is for you. He is making the downpayment for our house and we're paying for our honeymoon together. We're both 30 and have a longer term view. In the end, it's about celebrating your love....people- those who truly care for you will have a GREAT time and will be honored to share this with you- whether you spend $50 or $500 per head.

Where is your new venue Gloria?

Awww. thanks.. but its true.. what you said as well.. in my FH family we had three weddings this past summer.. one that paid about 50k! and the other 2 that spent under 20k at beautiful venues out here in NJ and had 80-100 people and thoses were the two weddings we danced at ALL NIGHT!! and had SOOO MUCH FUN!
Me and my FH have a condo ( investment ) and a home we live in... we have so many other goals.. right now I have to send out light bill money, car notes etc.. we will be debt free next yr.. no CC, car notes, nothing! And the wedding will not be added as a debt! Trust me.. if you have it.. like some people do.. then thats fine.. but if not.. then yes.. stick to a budget and it will still be a beauty!
