Saving Money

February 20, 2010 | Author: Sonja, Quick Note From 5K Weddings

Is it Embarressing to Host a 5K Budget Weddings?

Absolutely not!  Especially when you have couples that spend the average 25k and they don’t have anything to show for it.  This topic hits right at home for me, because my sister spent exactly that.  Friends have spent above and beyond that only to have loans, rings, and debt to pay back til God knows when.  Mirage Planning Owner and Event Planner Mary Kyle even brought this to my attention when referring to my very own Reaffirmation which was 5K for  35 people only a very important question, “How can it be done for 100 guest?”  It can!  I’ve witnessed it, read about it and will post it in an upcoming segment this Spring!

How can I convince you that it isn’t embarressing and can be done?

I really can’t.  I can only provide you the facts that 5K budget ceremonies are Always taking place.  For some reason, I have solicited brides for photos of thier 5k budget weddings and have had very little response.  Maybe this is because they don’t want to share with the world that their special day included a 5k budget?

So, once again I am extending the invitation to couples to send in their photos.  If you have any DIY, affordable tips and tricks that you would like to share send it to us and we’ll post it!

I would love to hear your responses so feel free to comment!
