Wedding Ideas

[candyce.livejournal.com]

My fiance and I have come up with a theme for our wedding - Mad Hatter Garden Tea Party! Sounds awesome, and I really want it to be, but we are on a very, very tight budget (and have pretty large families that unfortunately all have to be invited). Any ideas on how to make the day gloriously bizarrely amazing without breaking us? I'm pretty crafty but not particularly artistic, he's an electrician, and we have friends and family with other various skill sets. Thanks in advance for any help you can give! This community comes up with some of the most amazing things I've ever seen!
