We had a friends backyard (farm-ish). Roasted a whole pig + sides for a few hundred bucks (people still say how much better it was than fancy plated weddings). Used decorative plastic plates and silverware from Amazon, no one gave a shit.

Tents and bar were the biggest expense. You could buy booze and do open bar, self-serve, if you wanna cut that cost. Tent is pretty crucial if you are having an outdoor wedding, better safe than sorry. Chairs are somewhat pricy, depending on how many people- you may get by with an eclectic mix of borrowed chairs.

Hire a friend with a camera for pics. Get some family friends who want to be at the wedding but wouldn’t necessarily get an invite to run dirty plates (they will gladly help if it means they can attend). Decide if you wanna pay a DJ or can have a friend/playlist suffice.

We cut/sanded logs for centerpieces and bought Trader Joe’s flowers for cheap. A ton of thrifted/free decorations to fill space. Printed cards/signs at Walgreens. Hung some string lights and called it day. Looked really nice and everyone had a blast.

That is pretty much it
All in a few grand.

Crazy

Congrats

Wow, it looks great. I hadn’t been on in over a year. Nice work!

One suggestion I would make it to change the bullet point list into a toggle select list. That way the user can cross off which ingredients they need/already have to make the dish.
