Hey Everyone,

Please your help!!!

We are in the New York area, and we are trying to figure our wedding day!!!

Any tips, ideas or experiences in planning a wedding on a low budget.

Please let us know your experiences, where did you have your wedding, how much did it cost, any tips, any advice.

Did you go to another state to have your wedding? Where did you go?

How intimate was your wedding? Just the both of you? How many people attended the wedding?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't wait to hear your experiences

Wedding advice on a budget.... the best i can say is to get married at a court house. Unless you are wanting a big wedding with all kinds of family and friends then i am not so sure on how to do it on a budget. I guess it all depends on how small of a budget you have. My husband was born in cameroon but is in germany studying i am a USC living in indiana we initially met online and after some time decided to marry we went from germany to denmark to wed and we did it at the courthouse there only my husband and i, the judge and 2 police officers attended as his family is abroad and so was mine we plan to remarry here in the US when both of our families are able to attend. We both desired to have a very different ceremony then the one we had but it was a last minute decision and we will rather share the wedding of our dremas with all our family.

First I would say reach out to family and friend (CLOSE ONES) and see if they may be willing to have you have it at their home. Make it a family affair. People love to help. If you have an aunt who makes yummy food, see if she would cook for up to x people with assistance and you pay for just the food.

If its in the winter time it would obviosuly have to be in doors. If its during the summer time maybe rent out a beach house in Cape May for the weekend invite your closest friends and family to spend the day and you can do a semi honeymoon after everyone leaves.

My husband and I did that. We had close friends and fam drive in and stay a few days at the beach house after we had a really beautiful dinner party at the back of the gorgeous house we rented overlooking the water. :)This way you won't have to do a HUGE wedding that you'll have to pay for for the next 10 years AND you get to have fam and friends AND you can avoid a courthouse wedding if you don't want one....

Just some ideas.. Cape May and LBI are beautiful quiet shore towns....

I found a very affordable place to do our wedding in Long Island ... his family lives around this area...

It is going to be a intimate wedding and I really want to make it memorable
