My favorite party ideas.

In four months we will be having our wedding reception. I though that you might like ideas on how to have a reception/wedding on a budget.


1. CALL AROUND! I can't stress this enough.
2. Use an outdoor public park for the wedding. Most parks are under $75.00 ( I rented it for $25 for four hours).
3. Rent a hall that doesn't require that you cater your event. Knights of Columbus haves are great. (our hall will hold 700 people and we have it until 2am) We paid $1400.00 with full use of the kitchen and bar.
4. I have asked if people would be willing to help with the cooking. We are having a summer fun reception so we are having a nacho bar for the kids and sloppy joes and spagetti.
5. Check your local stores. My local Kroger is giving me a discount because I will be ordering my flowers, meat, veggies, and fruit from them.
6. I had my dress made so that saved me a $1000.00 dollars.
7. I bargined with the woman that married us so I ended up only paying $50.00 (she charges 200 normally)
8. I am doing a papmered chef party for the bridal party for me. This way those want to by gifts can. Other than that we are asking for cash and gift cards to finish up the house.
9. You can buy cakes at your local sams that are beauiful.


This is just soe of what I have come accross. I will let you know know as I go.

Laundry soap

I have ha a lot of people ask me about a laundry soap recipe so here it is. Feel free to let me know if you have questions or ways to make it better!!
1/2 cup Borax

1/2 cup Arm and hammer washing soda

1 bar Ivory soap ( watch for coupons in your Sunday paper)

Hot Water about a gallon plus 8 cups



First, I use the 8 cups of water in a big stock pot. I then cut the bar of soap up into little pieces and add to water. Heat until all soap is melted. Then add the Borax and Arm and Hammer. Stir until until mixed together and the products melt a bit. I then use a kitchen sized garbage can to put it in. I then add the res of water and mix. Let set overnight. It will look like a thick blob. In the morning I will stir it again.



Use a 1/2 per load and you can add any stain releasers or natural oils (add this to your laundry mixture). You can also add 1/2 cup vinager as fabric softner in pace of using dryer sheets.
