So true. Weddings like many other events have fallen victim to opportunists. Propaganda created to make people feel less than adequate if they don’t spend a fortune on elaborate weddings. The truth is people will remember how you made them feel and not much else. If they left with a full belly, sore feet from dancing all night and a smile your wedding was a success. Don’t spend thousands fir people to say “the wedding was pretty but we ended up in the Burger King drive up because the food sucked or portions were tiny.”

As a budget bride with $3-5k to spend on 60 guests, I found this so validating. It’s been difficult and sometimes downright discouraging to have to work so hard to DIY or do without some things, but I was lucky enough to find a great town-owned venue, a mom to DIY all the catering, and an aunt to officiate for free. It truly takes a village, but it is doable.

I did mine for under $1200 on Saturday, it was perfect! Our church was free. We only paid for the main course and had 'assigned' potluck sides. I got 3 used dresses that I will resell. I did my own flowers. My decorations were borrowed. My family made the cake and cupcakes. It was gorgeous and perfect, and there was SO MUCH EXTRA FOOD.

We spent less than $1000 on our wedding. We invited a dozen of our closest friends, got permission from the city to have the ceremony at our favorite lake side park, I rented my dress, and went to one of our favorite restaurants. The most expensive thing was dinner and it was ~$500 with a $100 tip. The most important thing to us was getting married and making memories. I think too many brides get caught up in what the industry tells them they need or are afraid of coming off as tacky or cheap. Trust me, the people who matter won't care, and those who care shouldn't matter.

Hey Jamie, my soon to be husband and I are on our own with the wedding fundings and we decided it was more important to us to buy a house then to have a huge wedding. We are renting a larger Airbnb that allows parties and doing some picnic foods and having beer and wine. We are linking a bunch of Alexa’s together to play music. Our guest list is about 35 of our closest people and we are so thrilled to do it. All said and done we should be looking at about $9000. Minimal decor just some greenery. Our Airbnb was very open to the idea of a party as long as we were respectful to the neighbors and had less then 50 people. This could be an option for anyone struggling. Good luck out there.

Yeah, people noticed for like a second when eating, but meh. Men don’t care, women may notice, kids won’t remember.. so who does that leave?? The worse was after the few hour event you have all this plant material that just goes in the trash…. Maybe settle for a wine bottle/ mason jar with few daisys or a few nice candles, but maybe get some fun napkins to help decorate. Just helped a friend with her center pieces.. she didn’t want to do something like mason jars. So now she just spent $250 just on the vases. I can relate.. you want all the Pinterest dreams but really consider if it’s necessary.

Also, I got all our flowers - I think it was 12 dozen roses plus baby's breath and some other flowers to complement - for around $200 at Costco. If you can work with their colors and are handy with DIY it's a great savings. They have arrangement packages too that are way cheaper than professional florists. Like Jamie said, the pros are amazing and no one is taking away from them but if you can't afford them and still want pretty flowers at your wedding.... just saying...

For a friend's daughter's wedding, they were on a very strict budget. I did alterations and embellishments on her dress, made the cake (!), and used a picnic theme for a reception. The venue had a hot dog vendor stand that was so neat; several types of hot dogs were used, baked beans, macaroni salad, potato salad, fresh fruit tray, green salad, veggie tray. The couple already had four young children and this was perfect for the whole family and the invitees. Friends took photos and handled music. The only criticism we heard of were from the in-laws, who I don't recall offering to help with a thing!

If you do tacos like my cousin did, she had chips and salsa as the center pieces instead of things people aren’t going to give a shit about plus while we were waiting for the ceremony we were able to eat! PLUS she got a venue that had tables and chairs included she set it up for dinner with dance floor space and that’s how her ceremony was done. No linens, no centerpieces, no “isle” to walk down. She walked down the middle of the room with everyone surrounding sitting at plastic folding tables and chairs! It was incredible the food was amazing and the best way to have a wedding. She also had it during a week day so the guest list shortened itself and the wedding reception was done pretty early because everyone had kids and jobs

I’ve been to a few weddings with a potluck menu, and sometimes there’s enough food and sometimes not. One potluck-like method that prevented the problem of too little food was to gather a list of recipes with specified serving sizes and ask guests to pick one to prepare for your day. It’s also a good idea to ask a friend or relative who is known for being organized to be the “food organizer” on the day of. I saw this method done for some friends, they asked one of the main Scout moms from our church to organize the food that day, and the buffet looked beautiful and as professional as it could be without actually paying anyone.

I’m getting married on a Thursday afternoon in Feb.. the venue is $1200 for 12hr and the catering is tacos.. total cost $3100 including tables/food/linens etc totally amazing! And our photographer have us a package that included our engagement photos for $1200 as well. Just by moving the day saved us almost $3k

5 Things you need for your wedding: Partner, Officiant, Witnesses, License, Rings. If you have a small budget start with the cost of the license first- since that's not negotiable. But seriously- Preach Jamie! Planning a wedding should be a time of joy, not feeling inferior because you don't have $30,000 for a wedding---I'm looking at you Say Yes To The Dress and Four Weddings.

If someone needs rings for a ceremony, there are tungsten ring vendors on Amazon that sell them $15-20 each. Ring sizes are unisex, and some look like simple white gold bands with a shiny dome-shape. Best part is tungsten won’t bend or warp like gold bands. My husband has one, and he loves it!

Jamie my daughter is getting married in June 2020 and the best decision I ever made was hiring a wedding planner. We are on a budget but not that loW and she and her team have kept track of all the costs that make my engineer program manager husband very happy. She steered us to the Venue and DJ and photographer which have all been amazing. She does the flowers in house so know exactly what we need and her team is understanding of our Churches rules and that the wedding team from the church and the priest run the rehearsal and the wedding. They are there to support us and make sure everything runs smoothly. The best money I havE ever spent is hiring her as my wedding planner

I'm getting married in August now, and you've been an enormous help on how to organize and plan things, and what to keep in mind so that the whole event flows properly and everybody is (reasonably) happy! We've already got most of our event planned now, and I'm so excited for everything! I even sent this video here to my BFF who's getting married soon, too, so that she can start planning her own wedding on her super tight budget! Thank you so, so much for all your advice and tips, you're really a lifesaver! Huuuuge, huge hugs to you and your family! All the best!!!

I got into a rut over whether or not our budgeted plans are good enough. Literally no other resource I've found supports brides with under $10k weddings or unconventional plans. So I watched this video tonight and you literally mentioned all of the things that apply to my picnic in the park reception. In the few days that I've been obsessed with your channel, I've had so much more motivation to happily tackle my planning to do list.
