I've also heard of people putting disposable cameras on the tables for the reception so people can snap photos then. <br /><br />Although, with as obsolete as film is getting, and how many people have digital cameras, it would almost make more sense to just nicely ask people to bring their own cameras and take pictures if they'd like to! :DNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161945275478386126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29496022.post-70660894981901253052009-08-06T11:05:57.826-04:002009-08-06T11:05:57.826-04:00Just get a friend to do the photography. =P My sis...Just get a friend to do the photography. =P My sister would do it! ;)Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11187051722510749149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29496022.post-54535698009607837242009-08-06T11:01:17.857-04:002009-08-06T11:01:17.857-04:00Ah...just realized I never replied to the last com...Ah...just realized I never replied to the last comments.<br /><br />A potluck would be "interesting", Jessica. :D And I see what you mean about not wanting people to have to make a ton of food...obviously I wouldn't expect that either.

Some people go over the top just for the "frill" of it all, which is ridiculous. Of course sometimes parents flip the bill, but if not, a couple going into a major debt for a wedding is a good way to add undo stress on a new marriage. Anyway,we had a nice wedding, traditional in some ways, unique in others.

I agree it is very similar to many of the Boundless blog posts, but it's still a great over view on the topic. <br /><br />I bought my wedding gown about two years ago at a thrift store for $29.96. Seriously. :) I have been wedding dress shopping with friends since then and love my dress way more than any in the Meredith Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474241285114616191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29496022.post-75798424383000730352009-08-02T18:43:03.795-04:002009-08-02T18:43:03.795-04:00In-laws could have expectations, but your parents ...In-laws could have expectations, but your parents are the ones paying for the wedding, so it's really up to you and them...<br /><br />I would want to be as frugal as possible for my wedding. Yes, I want it to be nice, but I'm not even into the big, flashy stuff. I want a white dress that looks good on me (and wedding-ish), with a veil and a little train.

It was good.<br /><br />I would definitely want an inexpensive wedding too...if only because the wedding lasts a day and there are so many other things in your marriage to save money for. But I think a lot of people focus too much in general on that one day.<br /><br />Oh, and I would prefer a nice baked from scratch by a kindly old lady cake than a fancy onerebeccahttp://crufflecarp.org/blog1/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29496022.post-39928230736986810232009-08-02T16:33:11.712-04:002009-08-02T16:33:11.712-04:00Making a wedding dress is so much cheaper than buy...Making a wedding dress is so much cheaper than buying one! I made mine for under 50 dollars and it had about 20 yards of fabric.

Last I heard, it was $10,000, which is still shocking.
