This wedding budget tool will change your life

Our wedding was exactly $10,050 and was planned in just under 10 weeks and I have to say, it was amazing. Everything really fell into place but I think we also got very lucky throughout the planning process. Because we had such little time we were able to find a venue that had to fill a cancellation so that was discounted and the same happened with the DJ and the photographer. Honestly it felt like the universe was putting everything in place for us. We went simple with decorations and flowers, I made all of the centerpieces, and the invites were done through an inexpensive website and we're also super simple. I had found the exact dress I had saved in my notes for almost a year before my husband proposed and I had found it at a David's Bridal. It was the very last one they had in stock and it was on clearance for around $800. The wedding wasn't super fancy but the venue was gorgeous, right on the water with huge glass walls so the sun set gleamed in as we entered for the reception after the cocktail hour, the food was amazing and really everything just fell into place so perfectly. We also invited about 150 people, a third of which were my Father-in-law's friends who gifted very generously. We actually wound up making money on the wedding 😅.
