wedding related pipe dreams

Videographer

Starts at $1990 for this videographer and goes up from there, though I’ve found videographers I don’t like as much that will record just the ceremony starting at $550. I REALLY want someone to film the ceremony, and well, not just with a decent camera on a tripod. Oh well, its SO not in the budget. That’s basically canapes (yes, since we’re not serving cocktails I’m not calling it the cocktail hour anymore). Do I feed our guests, or film them?

Babysitter

Starts at $150 for 2 hours. I’ve held of on addressing invitations to friends with young children because we haven’t decided yet if it’s worth it. There are going to be 5-8 children, ages 2-8, that might utilize babysitting. My mom is worried that without a sitter, many of them will be missing their nap times and might have meltdowns. Otherwise, I was going to give them each a coloring/activity book, non-toxic washable crayons, and a small toy.

After Party

We need to go in and talk to the manager and price this out. Its something that I’ve been hoping that we can do, since we’re having a luncheon wedding and want to have time to hang out with our friends. I figure we can cover the first round of beer and some ballpark pretzels or spinach and artichoke dip. The budget for this is $400, or roughly the cost of the hot cider we plan to serve with the canapes…..
