Tips for planning a cheap wedding?
Along with our large wedding we are having a smaller wedding with my very close family and his families close friends and family. This is an Indian Hindu wedding to respect and honor his heritage and families faith. We have the basics down…
Rentals (tent, fans and air conditioning, china, glasses, chairs, silverware, linens, tables & dance floor)
$2,000
Caterers (they also provide chafing dishes and servers. Include appetizer, naan, parentha, 3 veg dish, 2 meat, 2 rice, and 2 dessert. Coffee, tea, and lassi)
$2,000
DJ (with Indian mc)
$950
Flowers for Mundup, and garlands
$750
Bar (open bar, sodas, and water)
$1,000
Invites (RSVP cards, and postage include.)
$350
My father is building our Mundup and fire plate for us, we are not including our clothing in the budget. This leaves only $3,500 for everything else. Ok so my question is
What can I do for favors, and centerpieces on such a tight budget (about 100
people, 10 tables)?
What is left that I am forgetting?
I should mention I am Italian American, so I really don’t know what is to be included…
Actually for the Indian DJ in northern NJ this is one of the cheapest we could find. They go from about 900-2100. So that kind of *****.. haha
I should mention also have a photographer
