The Budget Breakdown

This has changed quite a few times and I'm sure it will again before there is a final "budget breakdown" but I wanted to include it as is. We are calling in a lot of favors from friends to pull this off. Our guest list is approximately 50 people.

Venue - $1050 Local MD Winery, use of 2 rooms for 4 hours. Access to the venue the entire day for set up.
Photographer - $840 An old friend of mine from high school who does this on the side. Definitely the best price.
Caterer - $1000 FI's brothers restaurant will cater for us. We're going for a heavy appetizers style.
Baker - $165 I'm 99% sure we will use a local grocery store. It saves $1-2 per slice.
Rentals - $600 The winery only provides tables and metal folding chairs. I work next to a party rental company and they are providing us with chairs, linens, tables, plates, utensils, just about everything at the 20% off neighbor discount.
Music - $300 An old friend/co-worker of mine does DJ'ing on the side. We asked, he said yes.
Flowers - $400 I found a florist on craigslist that lives minutes from the winery. She works out of her home and is giving us an awesome discount.
Dress - $230 I am ordering a designer-inspired dress from helenebridal.com.
Shoes - $50 I have these already. http://www.unforgettablemoments.com/ in the Jackie style
Invitations - $150 DIY pocketfolds from cardsandpockets.com, the price includes estimated shipping costs too.

That comes to almost $4,800. The officiant, accessories, centerpieces, etc. will all fall in the remaining $1,200.
