Hypothetical party-themed poll question...

I'm with Prudence. We did afternoon wedding with the "heavy hors d'oeuvres." Kept costs down and made it more casual. We also only served champagne and punch. Open bars get really expensive really fast.

I personally think a lot of the wedding stuff has gotten ridiculously out of hand. People spend exorbitant amounts of money (that usually they can't afford) to impress their friends. Rather than having a gathering of friends to celebrate a happy occasion.

Oh and take all those offers of help, lots of people have connections and resources you never even thought of.
