Oh one more thing... I went to a cupcake shop in our town that had JUST OPENED. Taking a leap of faith, and tasting their cupcakes, (which were fabulous), we asked them to do our wedding. Since we were the first event they were asked to do, we got a Fabulous price! Saved us about $500 from every other place we went to, and they had 6 months open before our wedding where they did other shows and things to perfect their display. 12 dozen cupcakes of 4 different types, + stand rental (they were free but most other places were $200) delivery and setup was $250. It was amazing! And they left take home boxes for any leftovers. So look for newly opened bakeries for your cake/dessert.. you can save a bundle.
I think I had a $30K wedding for $20K by watching the prices and doing a lot of it on our own.
