Have a small bridal party, one or two bridesmaids/groomsmen and ask them to pay for their own clothing for the day(or No bridesmaids/groomsmen).  \nHave the ceremony at the church where you are a member...if you have a church.  They often give lower prices and provide a lot of ammenities.  For example my chuch only cost $200 and they had a wedding/reception coordinator, did all the clean up after wards, served at the reception, provided plates/serving ware/utensils/cups and mixed the punch for the reception.  \nUse fake/silk flowers.\nHave a cake/punch reception instead of serving a meal. \nHave a sheet cake instead of a tiered cake, or have a small tiered cake for the wedding party/parents and a sheet cake to feed all the other people. \nLimit the guest list to Family/extended family. \nMake your invitations or buy them at Staples, Wal-Mart, etc.\nHave a basic ceremony, no unity candle(s).\nKnow what you want, don't let the sales people talk you into bigger/better/more expensive.  \n\nREMEMBER: The wedding day is about you and your soon to be husbands love for each other, not the decorations.

I did everything for my wedding myself, and we were also on a budget.  I chose red as the color for the bridesmaid dresses...I also had a little red on my white dress, and I carried red roses.  The bridesmaids carried white calla lillies.  All the coursages and boutineers were red roses w/ white ribbons, when applicable.  All those flowers were down by Thrifty Florist and cost $290.00(USD) - (Bridal bouquet, 3 bridesmaids bouquets, 5 boutineers, 6 coursages) \n\nFor the ceremony/reception we did the flowers ourselves, I had red rose petals on the cake, and around the centerpieces, and along the edge of the head table.  The centerpieces were glass bowls with water and white floating candles.  I got the bowls at Wal-Mart, and the candles at candlesjustonline.com  I got the roses at Costco for $14/dozen.  I also made the toss bouquet out of red roses from Costco.  I got some artifical fall leaves from Wal-Mart and used those to decorate the arch we used in the ceremony, we also put them on the tables.  We had about 115 guests.  You can check out some pictures from the wedding/reception at my website http://stardustsweetee.tripod.com.  The fabric that's on the arch and the head table I got at Hancock Fabrics for about $10 total.  \n\nI tested out how I wanted the centerpieces to look before I bought 15 of the bowls and a bunch of candles.  I got one bowl and small package of floating candles, one little sprig of artifical leaves, and used my coffee table (even though it's square).  I set them out in different ways until I liked it...I asked his opinion, but of course, he didn't have one...\n\nWe made the chocolates that we gave to guests...Went to a cake decorating store and bought a brick (literally!) of chocolate, molds shaped like leaves, and some flavoring.  Melted the chocolate down, added flavor to the colored chocolate and poured it into the molds, let it set, and then filled the boxes I got at Weddingchannel.com (in the wedding shop) for $25/fifty boxes, the personalization was free, and tied a little red ribbon on the box.  Got the ribbon at Hancock Fabrics for 75 cents a spool.\n\nPlease feel free to email me with any questions/specifics, I'd love to help you!\nStarDustSweetee@yahoo.com

I am 21, when I got married my mother and my fiance's parents split the cost. Neither could afford the whole thing on their own. I got married at a chapel that offered in house photography (which is the most expensive and the most important thing about the day in my opinion). It hurt that I couldn't have the the huge wedding because there simply wasn't the money. My advice would be to definitely do what you can afford and only that. But do what you can afford. No less. No matter how frivolous you may think it is, you should offer to do all you can for the most important day of your daughter's life. That being said, there is no need to do ridiculously lavish things like fireworks at the wedding, or a 10 layer cake. Pick your battles here. The dress is going to be expensive, when she finds one she loves, let her have it no matter what the cost but make sure she knows the budget. If the budget is $10,000 and she wants a $5,000 dress she needs to know how much that leaves her. My fiance and I made our own invitations with a computer kit we bought. It was $25 at walmart and they turned out beautiful. \nHer fiance doesn't need to be pressuring you. If he wants more than you can afford tell him point blank he will have to get it somewhere else. Money can be an uncomfortable subject but you have to be upfront about how much you can afford. Ask what kind of wedding your daughter has in mind, a simple beachfront wedding, a huge cathedral wedding,etc. That can also help you figure out how much you will need to spend. Before you plan a budget, discuss the things that are most important and the things that could be simplified (invitations, the ceremony site,etc). Look around at different locations and offer help where it is asked for and make sure your daughter knows you are willing to help her in any way needed. The grooms family is supposed to pay for the rehearsal dinner so if he wants to impress friends tell them they can go all out then. The wedding traditionally falls on the brides parents but nowadays its up to whoever can pay. Bring both families together to discuss payment. And only pay what you can.\n\nAs to the other suggestions here: the brides family typically pays for the wedding. That includes flowers and liquor. So don't be petty about those things. You don't need liquor at the reception as that can drive costs through the roof. If you want liqour there have a cash bar instead of an open bar, or not at all. Depending on where you have the wedding,they may not allow liquor to be served.\n\nAs for an elopement, please don't encourage this. Your family will hate that they weren't included in the wedding amd couldn't see their neice/cousin/grandchild get married. As will you. Don't you think you will wish that you got to see them get married? Don't encourage that.\n\nYou didnt say whether or not your daughter has a career or not, so if she does and can afford to pay for the wedding I agree she should help out but as a gift to the married couple,it would be nice if you were to help out. But sometimes it takes a little longer to get a career together, so if she doesnt have one you should definitely help. But if she does have one and you choose to help, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Even if she was 40 and you were paying, there is nothing wrong with that.

B"H\nYes!  Abosolutely!  And, it's so "in" right now - all the celebrities are doing it.  Just add the request to your wedding invitation along with information on how to easily donate to your preferred charity.  \n\nYou can check out how different charities rate against each other, and see how much of every dollar actually goes to the cause, as well as research charities by topic and location at the link below.

It depends on where his country is, but I had a destination wedding, they specialize in doing weddings in other countries.  You can go to www.destinationweddings.com, and for $50 they will set you up with a representative that will do everything for you - from travel arrangements, venue, officiants, etc.

for a marriage certificate you have to go down to the hall of records. the cost should be $15.00 -$30.00. and that would be if it was an open marriage and not filed Confidential.

Weddings are way out of hand!  They can cost a normal person{not rich}  $25,000.00 .....  are you kidding me or what?   I want a party that will go on for a freaking month for that much money.  I think I'd rather have a nice ceremony, with a rockin' party and the cost would be only 3 or 4 thousand dollars.  It is a waste to spend so much.

I just finished planning a long island wedding and girl do I feel your pain. Very expensive!  It depends on how many people your going to invite and to be honest, maybe doing it at home is the best idea if you have the space.  There is the polish american club in port jeff that is very affordable to rent out, the setauket house which is very nice and some what affordable http://www.setauketneighborhoodhouse.com/  Renting a hall and catering food with decorations and everything is probably going to cost you at least 2000 making your own food will help a lot.  Good luck! and Congrats!

no longer than 10 yrs. most hollywood types  get divorced before they even  try harder.  everything looks wonderful on their wedding day, lots of $$$$$, extravagant decor, clothes , guest etc... Tom was`so ' IN LOVE''' with Nicole when they were together,,, ha ...he loves attention and this sure gave him some ...

I was in exactly the same position about a year and a half ago. I didnt know what his fiance was into but I knew my friend quite well. So I just went to the dept store and looked around for about 2 hrs, asked the assistants what people generally like to buy for wedding gifts, and finally i picked out a 4pc set of original design beer glasses and a 2 pc crystal ice cream bowls (dont know why but they were crystal and I wished someone gave me something like this). The set of glasses and the bowls cost me a total of about $150.

The estimated national average is 20k...however, I have seen them done for 10-15k and I've seen them done for 100k +...it jsut depends on how much money and time you're willing to put into things. Orange County is an expensive area all around, so you might have to go looking elsewhere to find what you need. Wedding dresses are typically cheaper in smaller towns and you can get favors online.

How do you know it's $70 per person?  Are you talking about giving a gift, or contributing towards the actual expenses of the wedding.  Typically, how much the wedding costs the wedding party has no bearing at all on the value of the gift that you give.  The gift should be of the appropriate sentiment that you want to convey to the couple.
