Hi to all you loooooovely B2B xxx

Im Lora 25 year old Mummy of 4 .. and got engaged on 16th of this month Smiley smile Soooooo happy !! We are planning a August 2010 wedding ! Cannot wait . Although as i am a 1st timer ..advice is essensial lol !!

I am making own invites by hand , cake and jewelary Smiley smile As this will cuts costs a little .. We are having a registry office wedding , followed by wedding guest dinner at a nice resturant and then on to a venue for the night .. We are both indie music lovers and are theming our wedding around this as well as our colour scheme for us and guests been pastal colours Smiley smile

We are hoping to hire indie bands for the reception ... and fun outside games . as well as a playroom for the children and guests children Smiley smile

Some of this , maybe all may change in the leadup but i liking the ideas so far .. We cant afford a massive wedding so we are on an exteme budget .. we have 4 babes , and we want to concentate on making sure they have everything they want in life , and my uni course which a will start Sept 2010 .. Rather then spend looooooooooads on our wedding .. When the girls are older we will have a renewal of vows with the full works xxx

So if anyone has any ideas on low bugdeting please let me know Smiley smile xxx

Congratulations to you all xxxxxx

    Get yourself over to the 2010 thread and have yourself added! I'm September 2010 and can't wait!

    You'll also find a lot of people here on tight budgets and great ways to save money so you're definitely in the right place!

    Hello & Welcome! ?

    Congratulations! You sound so excited!

    You sound to be thinking along the right lines for moneysaving with making things yourself, and it's a LOT cheaper (10 times cheaper!) to go to the registrar rather than have them come to you.

    You can get a lot of the clothes for the bridal party on the high street, there are some gorgeous things at Coast, Monsoon, Debenhams, Next etc. that are a lot less expensive than you'd think.

    E*bay is fantastic for little bits and bobs. I just bought my veil from there for £20 and it's better quality than the one the bridal shop were trying to sell to me for £75! And all the card/paper/envelopes for my invites came to around £20 too.

    Bridal shops often also have sales, and you can buy the sample dress for a big discount.

    Keep an eye out on here for lots of other moneysaving tips, it's a great resource.

    And keep us posted on progress (with pictures)!

    Hi,

    I'm Claire, 38, and getting married 13th June. It's my 2nd time and h2b's first. We have 4 kids between us, my sons aged 19 & 17, his daughter aged 10 and our daughter aged 2 1/2.

    We're on a budget and are having our reception at the local rugby club. It's cheap (£150 for hire), and there's loads of space inside and out. We're having a bouncy castle (must book it!!) for the kids as there's lots of them!! I got my dress half price in a sample sale, and also picked up my daughters flower girl dress in the same sale for £30 reduced from £95 - bargain. Umm what else - pick what's important to you and spend the money on that!

    Congratulations!!

    Claire x

    I've bumped the 2010 thread so you can see it! ?

    Yup, just yesterday we booked our venue, photographer, and band! It's all starting to come together!

    So tell us a little more about yourself- how did H2B propose? What's your course at uni that starts in 2010? I'm a nosey bugger, lol!
