Everything is so expensive.
Everyone wants deposits and everytime we save up a good amount to hopefully earn interest we have to pay something else.
Wished i had eloped..
That's exactly why we did a cocktail reception. No sit down meals, just everyone standing around drinking and eating finger food. For our mob it worked well. I think the price was about 30 a head including drinks for 4 hours (might be 5 hours, can't remember).
We felt that sit down receptions were "stuffy" and it meant we were sitting up there like stunned mullets with everyone gawking at us the entire time. We wanted more of a party. So that option worked brilliantly for us.
Doing the exact same thing in april. In mildura about $30 a head. to expensive in adelaide.
