Well, it seems like you have two choices: either tell them the truth and if they flip, you'll have to work through it; or, since they aren't paying for it, you can give them a roundabout figure or whatever number you want in order to save yourself the drama.

Mine is $40k without honeymoon and 125 ppl. It makes me nauseous to think I'm spending that much on one night, but I really am taking the most inexpensive way with quality vendors so I'm OK with it. I think if you explain that to them you will understand. Good luck!!

Our parents aren't paying so we didn't see the point in telling them lol.

All of our parents (all divorced) are helping pay for certain things and after all is said and done I think we will top out at 30K (hopefully a little less) for 100 people. This is including rings, RD and honeymoon.

I have no problem telling any of our parent's how much it is costing (it may make then want to help more - lol) because they are giving us what they can and we are paying for the rest so they really can't judge.
