  • how much have people budgeted for suits? i really don't know how much these will be!!

    Getting married Sat 1st September.
    Saving like mad for the next 40 weeks
  • We were going to have cameras on the table but it's up to £30 for 10 plus developing so we have decided to ask guests to share them on Facebook or put them on disc for us so hopefully that will work :T

    Our are still in a box, probably too late to develop.Always something else more important to pay for. I also suspect that most guests forgot to use the flash!!

    OH is spreadsheet mad so we budgeted down to pens. Having said that, we did overspend in some places. All in all not bad so far

    They start from 60 online, with most high street places 100 - 110 (all for "normal" tails). Most places offer 10-15% discount or groom free if you hire 5 or 6...

    We are providing a disc and stamped addressed envelope for people to do this. Think it will go on a table near the exit or something. People all have their own camera's anyway.

    You can set up a free wedding website at gettingmarried.co.uk and that allows people to upload their images high-res for free.

    Just food for thought :)

    Or (especially useful if having a small number AND you just want normal suits) you can buy them, and then the groom/BM can wear them afterwards.
