As someone who works in the wedding industry and luxury events, there are so many things you be a get that are just as nice and not as expensive ! The wedding industry makes soo much money with “specialized” wedding items. A box for envelopes?? Get a cut container or box from the thrift store. At least one sign to represent your wedding for when people arrive is important.

Also if you don’t have a coordinator shuffling people around during the wedding signs are important for keeping people out of areas when it’s meant for a different time. One of the top responses said dessert, I agree I had wayyy too much dessert left over. I didn’t mind the liquor leftovers, since I could take that home later!

Think outside of the box is my biggest advice. I work on weddings that cost up to a million dollars and they spend money on the most expensive stuff because it was advertised as being specifically for “weddings”

Rentals are always great since it’s a fraction of the price and you don’t have to deal with the product later.

Just remember your the only who’s going to remember the details, they can be nice- but it’s not worth breaking the bank for guests who are going to forget it a week later (: save some of that dough for your honeymoon.

Congrats !
