I agree that there are better cuts to make than refreshments LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 15/12/2011 04:35:13 PM
However, depending on one's personal preferences, it still may not be the best option. That's all I'm saying That and it doesn't make them "cheap". It means they don't have alcohol as a priority. Which is not unusual in many parts of the US.

So it turns out that weddings are expensive... Dannymac - 12/12/2011 04:24:17 PM 2053 Views
I am looking to drop about a grand on my son's rehearsal dinner *NM* random thoughts - 12/12/2011 04:42:53 PM 573 Views
Well, part of it is that the rehearsal dinner isn't on the $5k budget. Dannymac - 12/12/2011 04:46:30 PM 1029 Views
It is avoidable, but people will treat you like you're a nutcase if you don't do most of the things nossy - 12/12/2011 05:02:14 PM 1080 Views
my first wedding was in church with a pretty dress and a preacher random thoughts - 12/12/2011 06:12:02 PM 1017 Views
We had a pretty dress and a notary public in the courtyard of the B&B. nossy - 12/12/2011 09:36:52 PM 1075 Views
If I had it to all over again I would have formed a Rock Band and dated supermodels *NM* random thoughts - 13/12/2011 04:20:28 PM 550 Views

We kept it to about $5000 also (including cost of rings). Macharius - 12/12/2011 06:06:54 PM 1104 Views
I would say our wedding was about that. Lici - 12/12/2011 06:45:46 PM 1239 Views
I feel like they only have to be expensive if you let them be. LadyLorraine - 12/12/2011 07:07:59 PM 1127 Views
I got married two weeks ago for less than that. Aemon - 12/12/2011 09:56:43 PM 1238 Views

Everybody I have ever talked to that had a big, expensive wedding has told me that in hindsight... everynametaken - 13/12/2011 03:29:34 AM 1007 Views

And several items on that chart are soo unnecessary *NM* ironclad - 13/12/2011 09:41:10 AM 591 Views

These seem kind of extreme. Vivien - 15/12/2011 06:03:15 AM 1164 Views
because of your history you might find a cash bar lame... LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 12:59:39 PM 1192 Views
Not my personal history, but culture. Vivien - 15/12/2011 03:53:12 PM 1184 Views

Yeah, and that's why Russians are all dying of alcoholism. *NM* Macharius - 15/12/2011 01:46:52 PM 597 Views
You don't have to be an alcoholic to prefer not to have a cash bar at a party. Vivien - 15/12/2011 03:37:15 PM 1034 Views
It is lame to expect the father of the bride to shell out tens of thousands for a party random thoughts - 15/12/2011 02:00:54 PM 1145 Views
seriously. who cares if people think you're "cheap". LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 04:41:33 PM 1057 Views
What my family tends to do (because it's huge) is this: Rebekah - 15/12/2011 02:16:31 PM 1232 Views
That's what most German weddings do too. Reasonable. *NM* ironclad - 15/12/2011 03:38:40 PM 561 Views
If they're not close enough to invite to the reception, are they really needed at the ceremony? Vivien - 15/12/2011 08:18:18 PM 1175 Views
In most cases, a church ceremony tends to be an open thing. Anyone can come. Rebekah - 15/12/2011 10:11:30 PM 1191 Views
Apparently it's becoming more common over here to do weddings on a weekday. Rebekah - 15/12/2011 02:13:57 PM 1027 Views
I can't imagine someone in America announcing their wedding was on a weekday. TaskmasterJack - 15/12/2011 10:07:55 PM 1266 Views
People not in America have way more vacation days... *NM* Vivien - 15/12/2011 11:56:22 PM 545 Views
That was part of the logic in my thinking, yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/12/2011 12:46:53 AM 532 Views
Fridays are actually becoming more common. Sareitha Sedai - 16/12/2011 04:51:41 PM 981 Views
Why does the band get more than the photographer? Amyrlin - 16/12/2011 04:30:29 PM 938 Views
well they do have to split it 4 or 5 ways random thoughts - 16/12/2011 04:38:36 PM 1042 Views
The thing is... it's NOT a night's work. Amyrlin - 16/12/2011 09:27:30 PM 1339 Views
Because if you put tiny plastic musical instruments on all the tables, your ears will bleed out. TaskmasterJack - 16/12/2011 10:04:59 PM 1408 Views
