Re: If you dont mind me asking...

Went over what DH wanted to spend, but just right on the budget I had made. Somehow DH thought we could do all of this with less than $7,000 (he's so cute....

We spent a total of $15,000 included RH for 86 people, photo, video, dress, tux, limo, hair, makeup, flowers, invites, etc. 6 day honeymoon to Jamaica at a 5 star all inclusive, new rings. Lots of haggling, researching and patience.

With patience and research you can manage to keep it on within your budget

Oh and to Lau0614...the bride that doesnt know how you can have a wedding under $20k...you are more than welcome to look at my review...its doeable! Believe me.

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

Will come in about $40K without honeymoon. We are paying for pretty much all of it ourselves. Yikes! We're at least $10K over what we originally planned

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

ok.. so far i totaled up to $21K :) so i guess i'll get the exact ballpark when its all ready and done...

i also believe patience and a lot of research saves a LOT! :)

**we are also paying this ourselves**

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

Around 60k.... Most of the money is because of the number of people coming.... or should I say the number of people we think will say yes... and I really hope we are right about the nos! Thats not including honeymoon.

Our guest list is like 350 and we expect around 270. If we had around 100 people, our wedding would have cost around 31k. Be careful who you send STD too. If I could go back in time, I would not have sent them to everyone I sent them too. There were places I could cut and save money... people I haven't seen in months and don't feel I need to invite... but I backed myself into a corner with the STD. You don't think things are going to change in a year... but thats because you never really looked at how everything is constantly changing. Its not that those other people aren't our friends anymore, but the dynamics have changed and I wish we had stuck to our closest friends only. Hindsight is 20/20... but maybe someone else can benefit from hearing about my mistake?

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

I am hoping (PRAYING!) to end up around 45K for the wedding but the HM is a whole different story- We never made a budget and it is looking like it will end up being at least another 12-15K. Some days I wish we would have had a small destination wedding like I wanted!!!!!!!!!!! We are about 20K over what I wanted to spend but when I made the budget I did not realize FH had 160 guests on his list alone
