You can still have a small intimate cost saving wedding that will be something to be remembered forever hun...they are far too expensive over here to have a large wedding.   |

I want somewhere in between. The people that matter most and the people that meant something to me in my life. I'd say I'm shooting for no more than 150, but we'll see. *hugs*  |

I'd rather have a small intimate wedding and save the money for the honeymoon!  |

Ours was somewhere in the middle. I think we had about 70 people. Most of that was just family. I would have loved to of had more friends show up, but the problem was for hubby's half of the family/friends it was out of town (Since we did the long distance thing) So a lot of them didn't even show up.  |

Small and intimate sounds great to me. It could still be lavish and affordable at the same time.  |

If someone else shelled out the money for a huge wedding Id go with that because everyone could have a blast! At my own wedding it was just small cause we couldnt afford much.  |

We had a small wedding in my wife's mothers backyard. It was wonderful. Both my wife and I thought this was the best way to celebrate or union.  |

weeding is best done by a lot of people... the garden gets done faster if there is a hoe or two involved  |

Awhile back I tried to think of all the people I'd want to invite to my wedding..I think we only ended up with about 100 or so. I'd much rather spend money buying a house than having a wedding, so I think I'll just keep the wedding small so I can shoot for that.  |

Wow that's a lot of money to spend on a wedding. My wedding cost whatever we paid to have the paperwork done! We got married on the bench where we met downtown in front of our favorite coffee shop. We had a good friend (who got "ordained" online!) perform the "ceremony". I had just my closest friends there it was about 5 people. Maybe sounds a bit casual but it was perfect for us. |

I just got married, and my wedding was about in the middle. I used to always want that huge princess wedding... and there's this old plantation home called Southern Oaks plantation (absolutely breathtaking) you should google it and go look at how gorgeous this place is. But it starts at $10,000!!! I already have a kid and a house and everything, so I preferred to spend less money on the wedding because I want the marriage. And I guess cause I'm grown up now, and it's not like my family is wealthy... I just decided that all that glamour doesn't really matter. So we found a very nice place called Crystal Plantation... that was smaller and had 200 guests. Basically it was close friends and co-workers then basically ALL the family and of course my dad, my grandma, and my hubby's mom and grandma provided us with "their lists" lol They want to invite their friends too! If you want to go look at my previous post, I put up pics from our wedding!  |

Plus the money from our money dance and given as gifts at the wedding came in very handy for our expensive trip to Las Vegas for our honeymoon! lol My dad probably paid around $7,000 for everything... from the place to the dress....to the invitations. Then we paid for some little stuff inbetween. |

Medium, I want our families (which neither of our families are small) and our friends, but not every one I've ever known. I want it to be beautiful but not over the top, but not too simple either.  |

I wanted in between really- nothing huge and extravagant so to speak- but big enough that I could have fun with it because although I'm not usually one to want a huge deal thrown overme, my wedding day is one of those "yeah, I really do want to have everyone see me in this light"- so we were planning the wedding to accomodate that, but after we found out about Dereka's impending arrival I decided that with this baby I really wanted to be married before she comes to make everything legal and less stressful so we're going the justice of the peace route and having just our two best friends there as witnesses- then next year we're still doing it up as planned, the only difference being that it will be a ceremony to renew our vows rather than the actual marriage- but either way, I still get my "special day to shine" exactly as I wanted it. You're right, the prices of weddings are incredible- I had checked into a castle closeby (well it's a restaurant/hotel but it's GORGEOUS and built like a castle), and also a dinner cruise boat- the prices that they charged for just a few short hours and the food were NUTS lol..so we decided to just go low key and find a place we can decorate in Halloween style which in itself will be relatively cheap- stock up on Halloween decorations after the fact this year, means all we'll need to buy next year is pumpkins and the flowers (which won't be MEGA expensive) deco wise- and of course outfits for the wedding party (which each member has agreed to purchase their own and since it's basically high end Halloween costumes, still cheaper than tuxes and gowns)my gown is a *little* pricy- and of course food, but our families are both really big on helping out with cooking and all- so really, all in all it won't be bad.  |

I had the huge thing and if I had to do it all over again I think I would do something smaller or just elope. LOL. As beautiful as it was and I would do it all over again and wouldn't take that day away for anything in the world...it was VERY expensive and that money could of went towards our house.  |

I would have absolutely loved a huge wedding and invited all my family and our friends. Sadly, because we were paying for it ourselves, we had to adhere to a very strict budget which we saved for and never borrowed on a credit card. That, I'm proud of, but I would have loved a big wedding like my youngest brother had. Sadly, it wasn't possible :/  |

I've always wanted to get married on a cruise, as cruises have been a huge part of my life for a long time. We'd pay for my close family to go, and each pick two friends that we'd pay for. Anyone else has the option to go, but they'd have to pay for themselves. The cruise ship provides transportation on an island to and from the wedding sites. You have a dinner with everyone on the cruise.. and then you just stay in the honeymoon suite, and, alas, honeymoon and wedding in one. = ) lol. Then I'd have a big reception for everyone whenever I get home. My parents are cool with this idea, and since they're paying for it.. I'm good with it too. BUT.. I'm just dating right now, nooo where near thinking about getting married.  |

I think you should do whatever you want...BUT, if you want advice I would say the smaller wedding would be just as nice and memorable, splurge on the honeymoon!  |

When my wife and I got married, we did it in a local park, just the two of us and the officiant. But we are planning to renew our vows at Snowshore Resort (this place is amazing, google it) because she wants a weddding and a dress...but it's going to be small with some family and close friends.  |

I'm doing a small wedding, no more than 60 people, and the only reason most of them are invited is because I work with them and I am very close with my coworkers. Give me a small thing any day. I'm having mine at a mansion as well. There are tons of historic properties in the area.  |
