Planning a wedding is well, ridiculous. Not in the sense that we shouldn't plan one at all. But the fact of the matter is, wedding planning has come a long way since the days of my parents getting married. They were married in a field beside a church, and all of us stood around them in a circle, and they were married. Granted, this is definitely still a possibility. It was a beautiful wedding, and though I was only 8 when they were married, I still have very fond memories of the event. But I'm definitely not my mother, so my wedding should be different, right?
So, that brings me to my current dilemma. We all have weddings, and they're all meant to celebrate our new families, but it's much more than that, really. I hope to create an event that's not only a great party, but an event that creates lasting memories for everyone. But, I need do this without breaking the budget. I mean, yah, it would be awesome to have a wedding on a blimp, but who can afford that? Besides, my fiance would have no part in any wedding where is feet weren't firmly planted on the ground. :)
So, what do you do? (drum roll, please...)
I think the answer is to make it personal. How can I put pieces into the wedding that scream Mr. & Mrs. SimplePartyPlanner (we're going to have to abbreviate to SSP - it's just so much to type!)? And how do I do that and still make it affordable?
Well, I get to do everything myself (with the help of some AMAZING friends). A little DIY goes a long way, right? And, I get to actually use my thrifty, find anything at a bargain know-how and use it for good! For the record, I hope I get to do the latter more than DIY...you will come to find (and laugh at) my inability to craft.
What have you done in for an event you've planned to make it memorable?
