I have a long history of starting things and never finishing.
That's why it's taken me five years of engagement to get married.
And that's why I haven't been documenting my progress on this blog.
Truth is, while I've logged countless hours on Pinterest, I haven't really spent much money. Since this blog is all about how to save money on my wedding, that's kind of a valid excuse, right?
So let me recap approximately what I've spent so far on the wedding.
Deposit on venue - $0
Invitations - $27 ($17 Groupon for Vistaprint + $10 shipping)
Wedding Bands - both his and hers - $16
Bridal Shoes - $50 at DSW
Wedding Gown - $350 at David's Bridal
Groom's Suit - $70 at Target (normally $90 but was on sale, plus RedCard discount)
Bridal Bolero Tops - both short and long sleeve - $170 (they're being custom made. I splurged a little here)
Fake Pearl Necklace - $15 at Target
Feather bouquet stems - $25 at Joann's (they were 50% off)
Assorted Crap from Hobby Lobby (ribbons, baubles) - $30?
Wedding Guestbook - $7 at Target
$760 so far.

Hmmm. I guess the little stuff adds up fast, doesn't it?
I'll post more in detail about some of these purchases and decisions.
