Weddings are exciting! It is a time to celebrate the beginning of your life together, forever. However, one of the most stressful things about a wedding is how expensive it can be. Weddings have become such a commodity over the years. But I’m here to tell you, from experience, that your wedding does not have to be expensive and it can still turn out to be the best night ever!
From the moment my husband and I were engaged, we talked about funding our wedding. We did not have a lot of money and neither of us cared to have an extravagant wedding. We wanted to avoid beginning our forever journey, in debt from having spent too much on a wedding.
We thought of just eloping! But my sweet mother-in-law (May she Rest In Peace) found out and she was not happy about it! Shortly after, we found out she had cancer so we dropped the idea of eloping and began to plan our wedding.
Here’s how we did it without breaking the bank:
- Agreed on a budget.
- A lot of DIYs, and bought craft materials from dollar tree and Walmart. Then YouTube and Pinterest were my go-to for ideas.
- Started and finished DIYs ahead of time.
- Invited only the closest and most important people.
