The main tip I have is not to be scared to negotiate prices. most vendors like DJ’s, photographers and caterers have a bit of wiggle room on their quotes.
and another one is to do everything that you can yourself. Invitations can be really pricey. You can save about $1000 by doing them yourselve. they still looked great. they took a long time to do though.
