Left to spend: $4891.50
* Decorations may not cost this much! I have made 35 lace jars so far. We already have 6 vases, and lots of candle holders.
** Groom's suit may not cost this much. Original one we looked at was $99
*** I have picked up 3 pairs for $2 so far - Need 3 other pairs - If I can find more for $2, awesome
**** NO idea how much the flowers are going to cost. My friends Mum is the florist and doing them for "cost". Everytime I ask her how much she doesn't say. I am hoping $100 as they are only hydrangeas! ha
***** There is a high possibility cakes will not cost $200 to make!
So there we have it - We are over budget - But who cares.
We have still managed to do this on a VERY good budget limit :)

Shit - I just realised this doesn't include the favors/bomboniere.... Let's add $500 for that...... This taking us to $2,300 over budget.
