The first wedding expenses are trickling in.
We spent about $50 on "Save the day" cards, which were ordered online. We got priority shipping and processing, so they cost a little bit more.
We had bought a couple rolls of stamps in preparation, but then found out that the stamps would be going up in price starting January 8th. We'll have the cards out before then.
We also registered a domain, purchased hosting for a year and a website template for a total of about $95. We plan on using the site to keep people informed, as they will be coming from all over the country to our wedding.
So that's almost $200 already...
We're waiting to hear from the location we've decided upon as to how much of a deposit we'll need to put that down. We'll probably have to put down $500 to a $1000. Edit: It's going to be $500 to put down.
My future mother-in-law is graciously and generously insisting on paying the rest of the reception fees, which means we pay for the dress, flowers, music, cake and honeymoon. A few other things too.
D is a travel agent, so she's got some great deals lined up for the honeymoon...

There are quite a few websites that will host wedding sites for free. The Knot comes to mind, and I know there are a few others. Also, don't forget about photography and rings. Those were two of our biggest expenses.
Let it begin! We haven't even picked a date yet, but when we do we'll happily sympathize with you about wedding costs.
