Am I missing something big?
Please tell me I'm not... If I'm not, we have saved enough for the wedding, and any future savings can go toward saving for a house!

Re: Am I Missing an Element of My Budget?
all the big stuff are covered. however I did find that all the little stuff did add up.
ex: outfits, manicures, hair and make up trials, make up, postage, license fees, membership fees...etc etc.

I'm not having a videographer.
Tips are already on the list. Postage is accounted for under 'misc.'
Manicures / makeup / hair / trials, etc. I accounted for in Day of attire / make-up and hair.
ETA - I did not account for an outfit for the RD, the only other outfit I'd need. That's only another $200-300 MAX, though, and that would probably come out of our regular spending money. (Besides, if I've accounted for everything, that's already in the budget)

Re: Am I Missing an Element of My Budget?
No, no DIY projects that aren't already accounted for. (RD includes invites, decorations, etc.)
Hmm... I think I have it all accounted for... I mean, sure there will be little things that may add up, but I can't see that being more than $1,000... and we have a little over our budget saved just in case. And this is also assuming we pay max for everything in our budget.

looks good. the worst part of our wedding was all the little things that came up. but like you said, it was nothing over about 1k, most likley much less.

Again, tips are already on the list.
Shoes and jewelry are all accounted for in wedding day attire...

Nothing major is missing. The only thing I found on my spreadsheet that is not on yours are a figure for the gifts for our parents, although these can probably just come out of your regular spending money.
