Honestly - I think it sucks a bit.

Have you already booked everything, do you have a dress etc.

My wedding cost me $6000, included church, $1200 dress, live band, decent alcohol, buffet AND a helicopter.

There are 8 million ways to shave your budget - I wouldn't start with the guests paying for their meals.

I have 800 million tips, and I hate cheap and nasty so pick my brains if you want.
