How to Have a Wedding for $10,000

A $10,000 wedding requires sacrifice. Limit your guest list to 50 people. This is the most important factor. Rent a park pavilion or community hall. These cost $200 to $500. Borrow decor from friends who have already married. Hit up Facebook Marketplace. Use grocery store flowers for a bouquet and some centerpieces. Serve brunch or lunch instead of dinner. It is cheaper. Skip alcohol or serve beer and wine only. Serve a sheet cake from Costco. Use a Spotify playlist instead of a DJ. Buy a sample dress or a used one from Stillwhite. Do your own makeup and ask a friend to do your hair. Use electronic invitations to save on printing and postage. The key is to prioritize. Decide what matters most. Spend money there. Cut costs everywhere else.
