Right I enjoyed writing my two poetry ebooks but now I’m going to start writing something a bit different. I’m going to to publish it exclusively on Kindle and hope to have it finished and launched on 14th February 2012.
What is it going to be about? It will be an autobiographical novel based upon my relationship with Scott (some people will know he is where I get the inspiration for some of my poems from) It will all be true events. The ebook will be used to raise money for our wedding.
One way we maybe able to save money is I want to wear my Mum’s wedding dress as my Granny made it and obviously my Mum wore it on her wedding day. Depending on the condition of the dress and how well it fits it is quite likely I will wear it. So this will save us quite a considerable cost!
Something else I would like to do is make the invitations and place names ourselves because I think this will add more of a personal touch to the wedding.
We may need to look at reducing the number of people we invite the wedding as this will save us more money, especially with food and catering costs!
We could look at reducing the number of people in the wedding party such as the number of bridesmaids, ushers etc as this will reduce the cost of outfits and gifts.
We could think about having a cash bar for guests so that we don’t have to pay for everyone’s drinks.
Instead of hiring a videographer we could get family and friends to all video different aspects of the wedding and ask for copies of everything.
We have decided to split the budget 50/50 which means Scott and I both need to raise £10,500 each over the next three years.
This then works out to needing to make £300 a month which is roughly £10 a day.
We have already implemented a donate button on this blog for anyone who is willing to donate to our wedding. I am trying to implement Adsense on this blog at the moment however this will take a few days to even know if we will be accepted or rejected.
We are both part of Swag Bucks which means we can get rewarded for our regular internet searches! If you’re interested in joining their scheme then sign up using by clicking on the image on the left.
We also have a wedding themed Zazzle shop which we are adding products to all the time: http://www.zazzle.co.uk/becomingmrscollins
I have a jar to save all of my loose change and is in my families kitchen so that my whole family can put their lose change in it too!
I have a part time job, although this doesn’t generate very much spare money all the spare money will be added to the wedding savings. I am looking at getting some part time bar work a couple of evenings a weeks. I can only have part time work at the moment as I am still at college – once I leave in June after my exams I plan to get a full time job so that our savings will increase dramatically.
I am also looking at selling all my belongings that I no longer want/ need – this will probably be done through Ebay.
