Wedding Budget

So I've been gone for a while but I'm back! So I'm trying to figure out everything for my wedding. I changed my centerpiece idea. I was going to go with a lot of different sized pillar candles. After countless hours spent searching for cheap candles I realized that its really hard to find some in my budget. So I've decided to changed it to floating candles in 3 varying sized round vases.Which I found them all at the dollar store which will save me a lot of money. My FH and I are paying for the wedding pretty much on our own so we are trying to save where ever we can. We were going over the guest list and we still aren't totally done and we are at about 260 people!! I don't know what we are thinking. We may have to cut some people that we aren't as close to. We both have very big families so it makes it difficult. We are planning about $8,000 for our budget. I just hope we can do it!! I have been finding some really good deals online and around my area I found an amazing photographer who will be there the WHOLE day till the end of the reception for $700 and we get all the rights to the pictures and we don't have to buy any packages or anything. Also her husband is a DJ so if we use him it'll be $1100 for both! Which is an awesome deal. I just hope we can keep finding these awesome deals.
