Borrow From Friends and Family

“We’re from a small town in the deep South, where friends and family often share items for events like weddings. In fact, my mother has a barn on her property where she stores chafing dishes, linens, fountains, tables, decorations, plus so much more. For our wedding of 500, we dug into all of her great stuff and brought it over to our venue, saving big bucks on rental items. Planning a wedding for 500 guests on a budget taught us to be cost-conscious and fiscally responsible.” — Christy Vickers, Douglass, Georgia
