I finally got my own way

Hey thanks for your replies..
No invites have been sent yet, we have months to go.. sept. I had a look and its going to cost us $35 a head, instead of $60, a nice dinner and have the cake for dessert, just thinking do i want chair covers?????

If i mention the word 'wedding' on top of the function they charge an arm and a leg.....
Now hubby wants most ppl to come just not his aunts and uncles that live interstate, so its gone to about 60ish ppl
grr...

I love the idea of the elopment announcement and the running shoes!!

Whats the cost of the chair covers? If its expensive and the chairs are fairly decent, then you dont have to have the covers, you could use that money towards drinks. Also - ask if you can bring your own table decorations - that way you could get some larger candles, tea lights and other bits and pieces along the table, for around $20 - $40 and spruce things up that way. (Id go to those $2 shops).

My BiL said "we invite you to our secret wedding". And then sent other people a little note afterwards saying "Surprise! We got married and are now honymooning in Queensland..."

They had immediate family and friends but not all the other people who would have "expected" to be invited. I suppose that there were about 40 people there.

Thats a great idea, taffylou... If only it goes ahead!!

We will see what the result is later, I have given up Im not stressing anymore!!
