The plan is to elope with 2 witnesses 1st august 2013, then come back to have a family lunch on the Saturday and then a party in the evening. The budget as it stands is.
Elopement:
£67 legal
£43 ceremony
£30 deposit (paid)
£130 Dress (paid gift from Mum)
£35 Brides shoes (paid )
£100(max) grooms outfit (informal)
£- witnesses own clothes
£120(max) silver wedding rings
£130 B&B 2 nights
£50 petrol to travel to registry
Party on Saturday after:
£- flowers (to be grown at allotment)
£20 decorations DIY
£20 hand made invites
£30-40 home made soup for 20 close family for lunch
£70 for sweet cakes, home made breads and cheese broad for evening guests.
£50 for family friend to spin some vinyl.
£65 hall hire
£2.50 cherry pie (to cut instead of cake)
All in all £ 972.50 total (£190 paid already)
I know that includes no photographer, I'm working on that but is this budget do-able. I dont want to be asking for any money or gifts from family so need our celebration to be budget and fun not big white and full of debt.
