My pleasure

I agree with you moody. I've saved a ton. I mean a ton by using etsy, amazon, ebay and yes tons of stuff from past bdw brides. I've learned a lot from everyone here.

Welcome love button. We are glad to have you. We're all here if you need us for anything

They look great and om proud of you for saving tons of money as well

Yes lets hang out together and help each other out

i have champgne taste with beer money

i've cut back so damn much.. i amaze myself sometimes, lol

i agree things can get out of hand, so what i did was sent save the dates to most, since that was exciting enough for them, my invitations i'm only sending to those people that i know either will be attending or elderly , health not allowing them to attend, so that it can be a momento for them. that's why i only got 40 invitations and they were costly, but well worth it, i got the passport invitations i wanted in my colors, shimmering paper, stamps throughtout passport, boarding pass rsvp, etc and they were like 250.00 but i wanted them and since i'd saved so much on other things, i decided to let that be my one splurge.

well 10k wasn't my budget, just have stayed under it. gotmy dress from davids bridal for 199.00 and it's only one left like it in entire chain, since girls got their dresses there i got some 20.00 shutterfly gift cards(that's how i did my save the dates) the one thing i did pay for was my invitations, i honestly just didn't want to do them at all. haven't gotten bridal gifts/favors, but i did do oot bags for wedding party only. and bought wedding week survival kits from another bride here on bdw(they were already predone in my colors) with 11 items in each. so that save me a ton of money. ordered my bridal comb from ebay and ordered a rhinestone headband from etsy.(not sure how i want to wear my hair yet)

i'm not worried about a bridal shower at all. it's enought for me that people are willing to travel to be a part of our special day so the shower i can forego

tyrebride, i know you tryna say i make everyone shop? lol, but i promise i am probably the most thrifty and cost conscience person in this thread. primarily be cause i don't have the financial means some of these other brides have. i can promise you, my wedding is under 10k promise. i decided to do oot bags but only for my wedding party because they can get very expensive, and doing gift bags with party favors for guest. dollar tree, has been my saving grace , ebay, etsy, supergiftplace to just name a few.

yes, the ladies on this board are totally awesome, we've built such a great bond. I wanted to do diy things, but in the intrest of time, some things i just decided,wasn't worth the headache. by the time i bought alot of the materials, paper, cut, fold, make sure it right font, wording, score it,etc, i was like ohhhh heeeeeeeee...... naw. lol, but i do have a few minor diy things like stamps for my envelopes and doing other little things like labels for my tumblers. i'm doing a very very very informal ahr, will be large bbq/seafood boil, and also have jumbo tron lawn screen for us to do movies on green, just let people enjoy themselves in their own element.

that is wonderful. since we don't have any children that are under age to be attending, we have decided on Sandals Whitehouse in whitehouse, jamaica. I am soo inlove with the resort, the reviews are wonderful. here's link to go check out. www.sandals.com/whitehouse

I don't have registry either. Omg. Catching up is hard to do. But I'll be happy to help anyway I can
