Budget Bridal

We all know it -- we're in a deep economic downturn, something that affects us all one way or another. But the great part about life is that love endures! Couples will continue to marry, hearts will continue to burst with happiness, and folks will continue to celebrate milestones -- 10 years of matrimony only comes around once, no matter your wallet!

So, I suppose the real challenge of today is how to still celebrate life's big moments in a more financially modest way. I've seen countless books on how to throw weddings on the cheap. I'm a big fan of Costco wholesale stores, and what a great resource they are for reasonable appetizers for that dinner party. The internet has also made it a cinch to find deals on favors, decor, apparel, and the other makings of a great celebration.

How do you plan on celebrating this year? How will the economy affect your wedding plans? I've come up with the "Bailout Package" for those wanting to still celebrate what life brings and still do it on a budget. See http://www.cjeventdesign.com/ for more info.
