Hello everyone

My fiance and I are planning on getting married next August and need some ideas. We dont have a whole lot of money but would still like to have our family and close friends share this day with us. We're thinking between 125-150 people. I would have 5 bridesmaid including my maid of honour and he would have 5 groomsmen including his best man. So thats ten in total. We would like ideas on how to raise money for the wedding. We are wanting a pre wedding social. What are things you or other you know did to raise some money? Also what halls or community centres would u suggest, keeping in mind we'd like to keep it as low cost as possible. What catering service would you suggest? How much per plate and what was served? Good place to get brides dress, brides maid dresses and guys suits? Any and all ideas as well as personal expierence would be greatly appreciated!! Can't wait to hear them!
