Wedding Cost PollRe: Wedding Cost Poll
We are getting married in late 2013 so doing the budget now and it is coming in at about 19-20 not including honeymoon.
Please give me some tips on haggling. I do not know what to be saying to hotels etc. Our hotels etc expecting u to do this? Be great to get costs down. Don't want to start married life in debt from the wedding but would love to keep out ideas for venue etc. [url=http://www.weddingcountdown.com]

Our budget was €7,000 and managed to stay within that. We had 72 guests. We had a lot of help from friends and family who took photographs; provided transport (for me and the parents); made the bouquets (my brooch bouquet and buttonholes, small bouquet for the lst minute bridesmaid); made the cakes (fruit cake and a cupcake for everyone). In addition a friend stepped in as DJ when our original one fecked off with our deposit - we just hired the equipment for the weekend. We had another friend make cocktails for us instead of expensive fizz for the drinks reception. We picked wild flowers for the tables so we saved there as well and my uncle bought my dress as a gift.
We did spend a lot on hiring the venue (an old country house) but that was the bulk of the spend. I think you can be canny about what you spend by thinking about what you really need on your wedding day. Having a late afternoon start for our civil ceremony helped, put quite simply the less time you have your guests hanging around the less food/drink you'll have to give them, now I sound like a cheapskate We did have an amazing day though as will all of you To get around the Wol Zapper, spell my name as: Pu$$y Galore!
Oh yeah, and I was formerly shumbles! Another Wollie with not one but two (!) blogs: Reasons to be Cheerful: http://shindigsandshoestrings.wordpress.com/2012/06/28/reasons-to-be-cheerful-4/ Pixbyshumbles: http://pixbyshumbles.wordpress.com/ Re: Wedding Cost Poll
shumbles that's amazing that you managed all of that!! We have about 140 guests. Most of them are actually family so not much we can do about numbers. We have a very small amount of friends that are being invited!! Ours is a civil ceremony starting at 3.30pm Was that including your honeymoon? Our honeymoon is costing around €2600 for flights and Accommodation! So looking forward to honeymoon!
