I think photographer is DEFINITELY worth splurging on.
I think a fancy cake and invitations are not worth splurging on.

Re: Is it worth...

I agree def photographer ..but then I think it's personal. I would just write down two things that are most imp to you and let those be your splurge. .

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...

I think there are 3 things that have to be splurged on because in my eyes these things make the wedding......Food, Band/DJ and Photographry

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

I think video and photography are worth splurging on because after the big day is over thats all you have left to look back on!!

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
