I got married almost three years ago. That reminds me, it will be our third wedding anniversary next month and still no plans. Hmmm…we will see what we can do with the little one already with us. We might do something as a couple, like have a special dinner and we can just leave our baby with our family.
Anyway, when we got married, everything seemed so expensive already. We have a small budget, or very little budget for that matter. We borrowed a lot of things and those that we could not, we bought at very cheap prices, such as our giveaways. We thought of not giving them out, but it is already sort of a tradition here in our country that during weddings, there are giveaways. Although it is not necessary, it is expected, so that’s why. We got some uniquely shaped bottles and filled them with potpourri and beads of the same color as our motif. And then we printed out our names. They look unique and they are very cheap. But of course, it took a lot of effort to do.
We also looked for cheap wedding programs. But in the end, we made our own and had the text risographed by our neighboring store. We just used a special paper so that it looks presentable.
We were really on a tight budget but we wanted to get married already and so we looked for ways and means in order to save where we can.
