Great reminder.

And my walima was with family and a few friends in my husbands family home.<br /><br />Before my wedding i attended 4 weddings within the same year. All extremely over the top. And huge costs one i went to they had spent 30,000 on the wedding day! and may i mention they also had a huge henna party, engagment party and nikkah party and the walima. So it must of cost them over 60,000 for all the parties. <br /><br />When it came to my own, i managed to get a photographer, and have a henna artists, and dresses and a live nasheed women group with duff. All for an extremely reasonable price. <br /><br />In total my henna, and walima cost us £5,000, including food, clothing, rental, photographer, henna artist, sheep to slaughter, cakes, sweets etc etc. <br /><br />We saved on invites, as in the Moroccan community invites are word of mouth we do not send out paper invites in Morocco. Also sweets and cakes were made by my in laws. <br />Inshallah i hope to do a blog post later this year about my wedding and how we saved money and being practical. <br /><br />Because, we were sensible me and my husband were able to go to perform Umrah in Ramadan in the same year and also go travel to a few places Alhamdulillah.
