We had ours in his parents backyard in the country

I wouldn’t do it personally (probably) but it saves a lot of money!

Depends on the kind of wedding you want. What does the back yard look like? Is it a big back yard? I think it would help save a lot which is always a plus and you can totally have a beautiful backyard wedding.

Make sure you plan for rain so that you have everything you need in case it rains.

Depends on the family member or friend or whoevers house it is. I had 2 people offer me ans my fiance that but I dont want something to happen at ones because they have farm animals. It would also have to be out doors at both places which means summer wedding and the heat is not my thing. The other ones his house is absolutely stunning and the view is amazing but its deep. The drive is super long and windy road and not enough parking.
