Re: How much is everyone leaving for deposits?
We had to leave $1000 to book the date. The following week we must drop off another $2000. The balance needs to be paid one week before the wedding.

we had to put down $1,000 for the RH. And that's all I've booked so far - although I did spend $130 on save the date magnets.

It all depends on what your vendors ask for. You can always give more to pay off faster

Re: How much is everyone leaving for deposits?
We had to leave $8000 for our RH!!! (I think about 15%)
30% for our Band/DJ which were booked together.
10% for photog to hold date, additional 30% when we signed the contract. (Includes videographer)
50% for my dress/veil
Haven't given anything to our florist yet, but he is a family friend.
I think thats everything we've done so far.

Re: How much is everyone leaving for deposits?
$1000 for photo/video $1000 for RH to hold the date, another $1500 due with signed contracts, we pay 95% of guaranteed amount 10 days before the wedding. Last 5% is due day of wedding.
That's all we've done so far.

Re: How much is everyone leaving for deposits?
Oh here's a dumb question, well, because I haven't bought much in my lifetime unless it was retail, so I don't know what form they are expecting money.
What form do you put down deposits, is check? or credit card? not cash right? I can't imagine carrying 2grand in cash
