BUDGET
We didn't want to go into debt planning this wedding. We wanted to keep it small and intimate and really make the day special. Our original budget topped out at $2200. However, Sean got a major bonus at work and we were able to add a few people to our guest list and spend a bit more. Our final goal was not to exceed $2600. I think we did pretty good for a Malibu wedding!
I used coupons and sales and Swagbucks on everything possible. Several items were bought online so just note that all prices listed reflect taxes, gratuities, coupons and shipping. Items in orange can and will be used again!
