Additional Costs...Please help!!!

Hey Ladies, hope you all had a good weekend!
I am a Newbie here and I have a question.
In addition to the RH, can anyone give me a round about figure for all of the additional costs i.e. Limo, Photographer, Florist ect...?

Thanks for your help as always!!

I think that it really varies depending on your vendors and the types of packages u pick out.

U can ask for some quotes on the Vendors Helping Brides forum just to get a few ideas.

Let me tell u though, that everything is more than I expected. In my next life, I am going to be a dj, photographer or florist!

There are many things, but it's all about what you want. A lot of extras go un-noticed by guests. And are not missed when they are not there.
Limo
photg
invites
cake
DJ

thats is prob all you need

everything else is extra and not needed.

well you still need to get a dress....even if it is on a budget. you can cut down on your bridal party to save on flowers... and do just candle centerpieces.. but little things add up!

Even things like a cake topper, thank you cards, cake toppers.. etc

Set budgets for each item and start getting quotes from vendors. You'll get a better idea of what you're looking at. There are things you can do with any size budget!
