More Buying for the Wedding


Whew, the money keeps flowing. I'm glad I can cash-flow these expenses Just bought a couple more things for the wedding.

I went to etsy.com. Those crafty ladies can custom make you anything!! They are incredible. I bought a custom multi-cultural, interracial cake topper ($20) and a flower girl dress that was exactly what I wanted ($75). I bought a few samples of some invitations ($30). Those ladies are so talented. I LOVE etsy!

After I got the bridesmaids all fitted, I ordered their dresses ($500). This expense, though not cheap, was not negotiable to me because I have always resented, maybe even hated buying expensive bridesmaid dresses. Such a ridiculous "tradition."

So, I have spent so far:

Dresses: $700
Other Apparel: $575
Reception: $20
Venue Deposit: $1,000
Catering Deposit: $500
Stationary: $30
Website: $20

Total: $2845

Wow, you're paying for the bridesmaids' dresses, God bless you!!

I've decided when I get married to just pick a color and let the girls get their own dress. Or maybe just pick a cheaper dress. I don't know just yet.

I do know my sister's dress cost me (err my Mom) $300!
