if you would like i can help decorate FREE, as i am a designer anyway; so i have good aesthetics. i've got some great ideas. As far as catering goes i'd definitely go with buffet. Visit Wedding Planning - Wedding Dresses - Wedding Gifts - Wedding Website its a great start as far as information, gift registry, and planning. very useful. in fact i am in the process of planning my wedding as well. i don't know what you've done as of yet but Wedding Dresses, Bridesmaid Gowns and Accessories from David's Bridal is a great resource as well. CONGRATULATIONS!! your best bet is doing research there and look for local catering resources/flowers.

make sure you get people to RSVP. Do you have your invitations yet?
My lady is making all the centerpieces, party favors, and just about everything that can be home made herself. Then get a coordinator like kelb to put the finishing touches so you don't freak yourself out when it gets closer to the deadline.
Change that title tag!

Middleton Hall rents their hall to sheriffs dept for half price. Dont know if you or anyone you know could take advantage of that.
I bought a lot of my things using the 50% off coupons Michaels has in the Sunday Washington Post. I borrowed my wedding dress from my sister in law. My coworkers decorated for me. I went with candle centerpieces instead of flowers cause I think its cheaper and not as stressful. I did buffet but as someone mentioned, try to get an exact head count. They will only put out as many plates as you rsvp for. If you are doing open bar, you may want to do an evening wedding to limit the amount of time the reception is. That can be a huge expense ecspecially if you are going to have 300 people. I kept my wedding on a tight budget and it was still beautiful. I didn't want to go in debt having a wedding.

I have almost 100 just in family. Its not really a budget, but I would like to keep it as LOW as possible as I could go. Its so much fun planning, I just cant wait until it really happens. You guys have been such a big help. Great Ideas from everyone.

Hey my husband and I got married at Bowles Hall in St. Mary's. We had the ceremony and reception there, the cost was very reasonable and we were able to use there kitchen and bar. Also we got all of the favors from OrientalTrading.com, (under the wedding section). We also had Tracy Burch do the decorating, I think that was the most expensive thing. And my husbands uncle did the music for free. If you need anything, like for instance music, I could ask if he'd be willing, if not my husband wouldn't mind as long as you throw a couple beers his way! PM if you want more info...

Not everybody holds the same regard towards wedding vows that you do. When I toyed with the idea of going to the JoP, my fiance sat me down, grabbed my hand, looked me in the eye and said, "We get just one opportunity in our lifetime for our friends and family to drop what they are doing and acknowledge the love we have for each other"... I couldn't argue with that... We invited 400 family and friends to our wedding... 370 attended. It was worth every penny.

Of course not, but obviously you did what you could do to afford it.
We are renewing our vows this year, our 10 year anniversary, because we can afford it.
People have to realize that its more than just the wedding. Didn't mean it as snarky as it came out.

Gotcha... yeah, it came across as pretty snarky...
Yes, I agree peeps tend to get all wrapped up in worrying about "presentation" and what others may think. I did budget and made every attempt to do the day the way we wanted at a price we could afford without any concern as to whether some attendees would find something "tacky" or "redundant" or...

We're asking people to bring their own plates and utensils to save money.

We're doing that too. And we decided to save money on food, we're going to go to McDonald's and buy a ton of stuff from the dollar menu. Even if people eat 2 burgers and 2 fries, that's still only $4 per person. It's so cheap!
