Planning a wedding on a shoestring. Cut what’s NOT important. Spend wisely. Sounds easy. Just watched the latest “Fairy Wedding” and you want everything. Why didn’t David choose ME! It’s not fair! I want a fairy wedding!

You can make your wedding the wedding you dreamed of but let’s be realistic though there is only so much money to go around and not everyone has an unlimited budget to work with. In fact I think what makes a great planner is one that can keep you in budget and yet help you create a day to remember. Sure it’s a breeze with a $100,000 budget but what if you only have $10,000 to spend! So Mr. Tutera what about the real people in the world? Could you pull off a “Fairy Wedding” on a shoestring!

Have you ever wondered about saving money on sending out electronic wedding invitations rather than going the traditional route of mailing out printed invitations?

Some may consider online invitations to be tacky. However, today many people pay far more attention to their inbox rather than their mailbox! You may wonder if your grandma would even consider reading her email, so perhaps you could do a combination of online and printed invitations for your guests.

OK you plan this day for months! Everyone sits and watches as the day unfolds. It is breathtaking! Yes you are a part but never really see the day! You can if you have a video. Personally I think this is one thing girls should not give up. The day goes by so fast, memories fly by a video captures the day and allows you to it and watch the day as it unfolded and you are the star of the show!
