Invitations? FREE!! YAY for having FH in advertising!!!!
Receptional Hall? $33,000
DJ/Band? $6,500.00
Limos? $1200.00
Honeymoon? Not including this in our budget, b/c we're getting some of this taken care of thru FIL's timeshare, but thinking we'll need to put in about $4k ourselves for airfare and additional hotel time if we want it.
Wedding Rings? $1,500
Flowers? $3,000.00

Scary right...all this money on one day...
We're at 35K right now (us paying), thats without parents paying for flowers and dress/veil/shoes, and without us paying for wedding bands.....SCARY...I think it'll be over 50 by the time we're done...

I think I'll go throw-up now.

I know how you feel...I've been researching prices for our pocketfold invites and they are close to $2,000. I can't get over all this! It does make you sick when you realize it's only for a few hours! This on top of house hunting really makes me wanna puke! LOL
