Absolute max is 3k.
Really hoping for more around 2k or less.
If I get a different dress than I really want, then probably around 2.5k. If I can get OH to not invite his huge distant family, since I'm not inviting mine...then more like 1k.
So...yeah. Doing an outside wedding in my dad's backyard. He's getting us a discount on a tent and chairs. Doing a potluck cookout. Making our own cake (I hate wedding cakes, I much prefer my own). Wedding party is picking out their own clothes that they all ready own within certain requirements. 3 groomsmen, 2 bridesmaids. Using dollar store silk flowers since I'm allergic.
for entertainment, we are using our ipod, board games, some wedding games I've made, and of course dancing.
My sister is doing my hair and makeup. Step mom is helping with invites, save the dates, programs, table numbers, and thank you cards.
And for our car, using my OH's 74 cadillac.
