Back in January, Jer and I were thinking about our wedding budget and how we thought it was even possible to pay for a wedding together on our less than stellar incomes. We went through our wedding budget, and we slashed things we don't need: custom cocktail napkins, signature drink, calligraphy on our invites (DIY thank you very much!), menus at place settings, a ridiculously beautiful diamond encrusted wedding band (I'm sure my DF will get this for me on an anniversary) and one thing we cut was day-of transportation.
Ok, I must admit I am struggling with this one. I think it is necessary for the bridal party to have a limo/trolley (I loveeee the idea of a trolley) and I think we can include this in the overall budget. It's not THAT expensive, and I can be frugal. I just want transportation to pre-ceremony pictures, ceremony, post-ceremony pictures and the reception. After that, we don't need them.
Jer and I are obsessed with the idea of taking a Chicago cab to the hotel after the reception - how Chicago, how US! We love it and we're doing it. But I just can't imagine making our bridal party take cabs - it just sounds so tacky.
So if it means a few less days of eating out, not shopping on RueLaLa, and really not having that beautiful diamond ring, so be it. I want transportation, I think it's a must.
