Have you totally gone over your budget?

Anyone else having these problems?

I initially budgeted $15K for the wedding because I am paying for it myself, but I really underestimated how much flowers, a DJ and photography would cost... and I didn't even factor in videography, which we recently decided to do. So now my budget is up to $20K and it is going to be really close (and I am not including my dress, hair and makeup because I consider that personal)! We are only having 75 guests, which helped to keep the numbers down, but photography costs what it costs, no matter if you have 75 people or 300 people.

Did I ever have a budget hahahaha?????

No im kidding we set a budget of 45K (about 225/250 guests). FH & I are paying but the parents wanted to but we wont let them so they will just give 'Gifts'. Overall we are doing great! We really cant complain about anything since we already own homes we are good to spend what we want on our wedding.
