32 Brides And Grooms Who Aimed For A Budget Wedding And Ended Up Landing At Tackytown Instead
1.This is why you don't skimp on catering, folks.
2.And this is why you don't try to bring your own food.
3.Need another reason to leave wedding food to the professionals?
4.If you are gonna make your own food, stick with the classics. And maybe stay away from kids' items like Spaghetti-Os.
5.Say it louder so the people in the back can hear: don't skimp on food!!!!
6.If you can't afford a wedding singer, I'm sorry, but trying to get one to play for free (or in exchange for the chance at sex with bridesmaids???) is completely unacceptable.
7.Pro tip: Spray painting the grass is not a budget-friendly way to brighten up your venue.
8.And using mashed potato mix instead of rice is nottttt the budget-friendly hack you think it is.
9.Instead of serving steak, maybe this couple should've focused on serving enough to eat.
10.If you can't even suggest accommodation for your guests besides "sleep outside," maybe have a private wedding for just your immediate family.
11.I'm all for DIY crafts, but toilet paper rolls? That aren't even covered with anything (except duct tape)?
12.I hate to shame more DIY, which can be cute, but...this couple should've scrolled Pinterest a little longer.
13.This plan for bathrooms at a wedding strayed from "money-saving" to "genuinely disgusting" territory.
14.This "bathroom" wasn't much better.
15.Dinner service is just not something you can cut to save money at a wedding. Courthouse weddings are fine! But if you can afford a reception, you need to feed people real food.
16.The idea behind this was nice, but, uh, I gotta say these handmade decorations ended up a lil' tacky.
17.It's okay if you can't afford elaborate displays, but this decor was pretty crappy (see what I did there?).
18.By all means, make things yourself, but at least get the spelling right. Better yet? Print a sign from online, and use spellcheck.
19.This might be a money-saving hack that works, but it's certainly not one that's appropriate by moral standards.
20.This one mystifies me. You're rich enough to serve tuna tartare, yet you're serving it in a PVC pipe??
21.I know that wedding food is expensive, but that's no excuse to leave those with dietary restrictions with pieces of cardboard to eat.
22.Vegans are people, too!
23.If you're going to expect your wedding party to help set up the wedding in order to save money, fair enough. But at least feed them more than one tiny slice of pizza for a day and a half of work!
24.PSA: You can make free or cheap invitations on a million different online sites for much nicer than this.
25.However, the above DIY invitation is still much better than asking a professional to make invitations for free.
26.I don't mean to sound cruel, but if you can't afford to throw a reception without asking your friends and family to pay to attend (on top of travel and accommodation)...you should just be having a courthouse wedding. And certainly do not make people attend in TIERS based on their contributions!!!
27.Wedding meals don't need to be fancy, but this looks like baby food.
28.Go ahead and forgo the cake if you need to, but seeing these donuts displayed on unfinished wood is already making my mouth taste like sawdust.
29.This couple decided to save money by having a small reception at a restaurant — great! Except they expected guests to pay more than they normally would at that restaurant for their food – not so great!
30.Trying to actually PROFIT off wedding guests goes beyond cheap and tacky. I would 100% be skipping this wedding — even if it was my brother's.
31.I can't believe I need to repeat this — weddings should not be paid for by your guests!
32.And finally...choose an unconventional venue if you like. But I'm sorry, I cannot get behind getting married in a GAS STATION.
