Please share with me your experience and suggestions for the whole wedding planning process. I know we need to pick a date and get a budget, get a place and decide on invite list criteria, and more. This I got from my 2 new books - "Going Bridal - how to get married without losing your mind" and the "anti-bride wedding planning guide - tips for the unconvential"
Todd''s got a huge family, I''ve got many very close friends, and we have at least $4k to spend. Other funds could be available, but frankly, I am of the mind set keep it simple, have loved ones come to witness our union, and have the bulk of investments go into the marriage vs the wedding. (more $ to put down on a house, honeymoon, etc).
Of course we want something nice and classy, but I''ve heard that it is doable, especially keeping it on an off season, cake, champagne and coffee along with finger foods, etc.
please share your thoughts and experiences. If you were to restart your planning process, what would you do differently, what would you do the same?
