I think your FI has some valid points, but so do you. Maybe you should look into getting a wedding planner to help you out. Planners have different packages, depending on what your needs are and it would releive a lot of stress for both of you and the planner can also give you some leads on other vendors that might help your budget.
He offered and I said yes. (not too sure if he meant it though, lol) Then added that they cost money as well and can we really trust them. How do I pick a good wedding planner? I guess that should be another post, lol.
Thanks it's a good idea :)
Just contact a few planners and meet with them. I would call them on the phone to get a feel for them first and then both you and your FI meet up with them. You don't have to sign up with them on the spot. Make sure you ask for what exactly is included with their service. Get a couple of scenarios(sp) from them to see what fits your budget and circumstances better. I have a full service planner and I got quite a deal with her. She has been very helpful and she will control my day and make sure that everything gets set up properly and goes how it should. For me, the money is worth saving the stress and knowing that I won't have to worry about everything on our wedding day.
Thanks so much for you advice! You're really helping me out. I have no idea about these things.
Do you mind me asking how much you paid for the full service planner?
where are you located? I know my caterer is teamed up with a planner so they take care of everything (ie. glassware, linens, tables, chairs, flatware & all that good stuff). try to find someone who does it all in one shot because doing it all separatly will definitely add up pretty quick.
uh 400-500 people do yourself a favor and hire a planner, you don't need that kind of stress. I hope you were successful with your search

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
We have a problem. My dream venue is available on the date we plan to be married...the price seems fine, only that I have to rent chairs, tables, get a caterer, decor, etc. All we are renting is an empty space.
I think it's perfect! My finace says its big and beautiful. (comments on the big because we are expecting 400-500 guests)
He said we can have the wedding there, but now says we should reconsider. I am beyond disapointed if we do. This is truly a fairytale dream location.
His reasons are that it would be a headache to plan all this, (but I am doing the planning) he thinks it's going to be too stressful on me and that things might add up quickly.
We have looked at rental/catering prices, and venues that offer it all. With our calculations, even in the worst case scenario, meaning most expensive calculations, we are still saving in comparisson to having it at all all included venue.
He says it not worth the headache, I say it is....AND AFTER ALL- If he is allowing me to do the planning, its MY headache, and it's worth it to me, :(
