Re: Is it worth...

Re: Is it worth...
i agree that you need to really think about what it most important to you. IMO photography and video were the most importand so that is where my splurges are. I don't feel that invites, cake, or limo is that important so that is where I am saving money!!!
Good Luck with you decision!!!!!!!!

Re: Is it worth...
Splurge on the RH (that makes ahuge difference), as well as music and photography.
I'm trying to save as much as I can on flowers, especially centerpieces. I never notice a CP when I go to a wedding.
My grandma says the only time people think about the CPs is when they try to figure out whos taking it home!

Re: Is it worth...
The most important thing to your guest will be the food and DJ
The most important thing for you would probably be a Photographer.
All of the other stuff no one really notices

Re: Is it worth...
whats important to you might not be important to others and vice versa. So i would just splurge on what you personally feel is worth it. We're all different and want different things so just do it your way. I am not gonna sit here and say its a waste to spend money on anything bc while it may be a waste to others it might not be for you and i wont tell someone their choice was a waste

Re: Is it worth...
If you are going to splurge then definitely on the Photos, RH, and dress. I know many people say not to splurge on the dress b/c you only where it once. But, if you find something that you feel is "THE" one then you should really go for it.
Things I would not splurge on are flowers and invitations, but that's just me. :)

Re: Is it worth...
everyone is different
sometimes i feel like we splurged on just about everything  because the wedding really got out of hand hahahaha....
but for us it was def the photography/video - b/c it lasts forever and entertainment - get a good band or DJ, its worth it

Re: Is it worth...
We are splurging on the photographer because I think that's really important. We picked a guy who we love but is a little pricey. And also a band because we want live music.

I think a fancy cake and invitations are not worth splurging on.
ITA with you here. A lot of people don't even eat the cake, and people will just end up tossing the invitations so i am not planning on upgrading my cake or spending a lot on invitations.

Re: Is it worth...
I think the sax/percussionist was worth splurging on. I am still hearing rave reviews about him. He was amazing. IMO, the invites weren't worth spending much on, so I went as low as possible without looking like garbage-about $250. Mid range on the photo and low end on video is what we choose.

Re: Is it worth...
we splurged on our hall, some upgrades in cocktail hour and photography
we didnt upgrade or splurge on invitations, favors, flowers
But thats what we did, but i am sure each bride is different. Splurge on whats important to you, and cut where you can
