Getting married is about celebrating love, and you can do that on a budget while still having the wedding of your dreams. You don't need to spend a fortune to have your dream wedding. Here are a few cheap wedding ideas that will save you a ton of money on your big day.

DIY as Much as Possible

Giphy

You can save a fortune on your wedding if you do a lot of the craft projects on your own instead of hiring outside companies. You don't want to over stress yourself by trying to make everything, but give yourself a reasonable amount of DIY projects for the wedding and you can save a ton of money without forfeiting any beauty on your wedding day. You can make the centerpieces, light arrangements, seating charts, and other simple tasks that outsiders will charge an arm and a leg for.

Wedding Sparklers

Giphy

This might sound like such a random idea, but just picture this: you're walking out of your reception with all of your friends and family holding up glowing sparklers all around you. What an incredibly beautiful moment to have as you start your lives together, and it won't cost you nearly as much as a lot of other, less impressive wedding ideas will. Learn more here about where you can buy some awesome smokeless sparklers for your wedding.

Save on the Venue

Giphy

Renting out a venue is a huge cost of any wedding, but it's totally unnecessary if you're getting married on a budget. You can easily rent out a less expensive venue and deck out on DIY decorationsins to make it just as beautiful. Or, you can skip out on renting a venue and get married at your home or someone else's home. This allows for an intimate yet beautiful wedding experience that will save you a ton of money overall.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
