HELP! Need to help planning my wedding under a $2000 budget.?
I live in Sacramento, CA. My wedding date is set for this October this year. It is still severla months away yet, I have not been able to find a place to hold our wedding. I can't decide where either in Sacramento or Lake Tahoe area to hold our event that is affordable since I am restricted to a $2000 or under budget. My fiancee has a large family. Mine, on the other hand, is rather small. Both our families would like to somehow partake in the wedding, but if you take in the cost of food and drinks and the reception fees for most places, it far exceeds our budget. My fiancee had mentioned the idea of us just getting married (elopement style) and having the honeymoon all at one destination site - (i.e. Hawaii) and later on have a reception with both our families after we can afford to have one. Another idea I had was to have our ceremony in Lake Tahoe (elopement style) yet it could include my maid of honor (MOH) and his grooms man and maybe a friend of the family who can take our photographs (another way to stay within budget). And then in a week, two or three, have a reception where the entire family after we are married to include everyone. And then even later...a honeymoon. ***I don't know how much you need to save to have a proper reception in Sacramento, CA - food and drink prices are what I have seen outrageous - Any suggestions?*** In regards to our ceremony, reception, honeymoon and restricted budget dilemma, my only concern is that we will have to put so many things off due to saving for the reception and later on the honeymoon...that it is my fear that it likely they will never happen which is why the 1st option looked more promising. If there is anyone out there who has ever planned a wedding the cheap....please I seek your expert advice and istance!!! Thanks ;)
