Wedding Forum - Our mad hatters tea party...

Ive done nothing but cry all day im hoping we manage to go ahead but its not looking likely at all, we have the food to buy and room to pay off which I told hubby to do weeks ago. when we got back from mexico he had no job which dropped us right in it even though he started a new 1 straight away he doesnt get paid til next week, im absolutely heart broken, ive spoke to my mates dad who has said he doesnt mind waiting until next week for a payment as hes the dj but if we dont find £200 for saturday the partys off x

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES GET A PAY DAY LOAN - Katie I'm appalled u suggested that! Do u know how much interest they charge!

I'd suggest asking friends and family if they can help it use any wedding present money u get
Hope ur ok hun.... Xxx

She is married, they married Mexico..... This is their reception party...

Nothing is worth them pay day loans and u worry me by saying "the lesser of two evils" why anyone would start their married life with debt is beyond me xxx

I thong appalled was a bit harsh of me I was just a bit shocked sorry x

Ok ladies calm down, yes pay day loans are rip offs but they fill a need. Each tothere own, but if you can borrow from bank of mum and dad or similar is much better. Have you tried talking to vwnue explaining the predicament your in, or asking your hubbys new employers if he can have his wages early this week as your in a tight spot, we 've done that before, or talk to your bank about a overdraft ? Lots of options

Try and lend money off your family don't go down the pay day loan route they are evil x

I agree with MrsX2b.. If you'll be able to pay it next week then put it on a credit card, even if it is an interest card, you won't get charged interest at all because you'll be paying it off in one go xxx

Brilly, I'm so upset for you.. Positive thoughts!

Like the other girls have said, can you ask friends or family to help out? After all your hard work I think you absolutely deserve to have this party.

Good luck Hun. Let us know how it goes xx

Oh god, that's quite stingy on your venue,

Can they not invoice you?

Write up a review on tripadvisor about them, do a letter to head office, I bet that would put the wind up them

I know but it might give her some breathing space...

Aww no Hun...saw u was upset on Facebook but wasn't sure what it was about! Really feel for u about this

O no hunny thats awful, im so sorry xxx

How're u today hun xxx

You'll still have an amazing party in November... Plus it gives you a little more planning time :) x

Thank you everyone were just waiting to hear about the 9th to make sure its a definate, me mates dad has a different dj gig to do but I know a few others that may help out xx

Sorry to hear this news Brilly but every cloud has a silver lining! I think this silver lining is so that you enjoy your UK reception a lot more than if you were concerned about the money on the night. xx

Thanks for the update, my fingers are crossed for you x

yep id shove it on the credit card

Thanks everyone im feeling abit better bout it now as we're moving house this week to, we have just collected the bottom half of the cake and are not bothering to have it replaced so it will just be a fake cake in nov but hers a pic of our bottom tier father in law has a pic of the full cake it was gorgeous xx
