[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 426474, member: 11001"] Some things I've seen done lately ( I live in the land of weddings and many of my friend and families kids are getting married): 1. Many girls are renting their dresses-they get to wear expensive gowns and pay only a couple hundred to rent 2. A very simple/beautiful center peice I saw recently was a small round fish bowl with a single flower-I've seen these at the dollar store 3. One wedding had the little cream puffs without cream, but a very nice chicken salad in them. Girl's mom made the salad and bought chicken on sale-went a long way (the whole reception was just little nibbles, no big meal but elegant) 4. Could you find burgundy colored pointsettias for some of your flowers? Around here they go on sale cheap as door busters and I have seen burgundy. 5. Find a local person who does cakes out of their house. One of my student's mom makes gorgeous cakes at a fraction of the bakery prices. 6. Do you have a Trader Joes near by? If you will be serving wine, I hear they have very nice cheap wines there. 7.Local college is a great place to find wonderful musicians from their music department and cheap as well. You can find anything from jazz to a string quartet. 8. Single card announcements are everywhere and cheaper than those that fold and need tissue paper, you can do them yourself if you have a nice printer and save loads (we've seen many of these with photos in the last couple year 9.Our dollar store has some cute stuff-don't know what your looking for or your taste but, many have a wedding section 5.
