How much to budget for..

limos (SUV limo), 1 or 2 town cars, and some type of car for me to go to the church in

rings (i have no clue what to budget)

Hair/Makeup (def want airbrush. you girls sold me on that lol)

BP gifts

aisle runner (do all florists provide this?)

I already have #'s for (RH, DJ, photo/video, invitations, flowers, STD's, reh. dinner, tips, ceremony music, church, thank you cards, marriage license and... yeah)

i know i have to estimate for honeymoon but that can wait cuz we don't know where we want to go yet, probably a all inclusive to save $.

i would say 1-2k for the limos. the aisle runner i think the limo company provides for you. hair and makeup will vary depending on the artist... it could range anywhere from 100-500 from what i've seen. BP gifts is basically up to you, i figure i will prob spend at least $100 each person. also varies if you are paying for their hair/makeup.

Limos I'm paying almost $2K for a stretch navigator and limobus.

BP gifts, I'd like to spend around $100 for each girl - I have 8. FH will pay for his GM's.

Hair/Makeup - probably a few hundred and I might also pay for my mom's as well so another couple hundred.

Rings - FH's ring will probably only be between $75-100. Mine on the other hand....who knows....

limos - for about 4 different cars (thats what it looks like you have there) I would say close to $2k

rings - really depends on what your looking for, I am getting a 7 stone diamond band, BUT I already have the diamonds, they are from my grandmothers band - Fh's band is around $400, he just wants a tungston

hair/makeup - for hair i am paying $125, makeup with airbrush $150

bp gifts - girls i spend $100 each, guys $50 each, sorry the guys do a lot less, haha!

aisle runner - $100-$200 depending on length

honeymoon - well that's up to you and how long you stay.

I dont' think $62 is too little, you can still get them something really nice....I got my girls Kate Spade bags on black friday for $60 each!!! I was going to get them a few little things for inside the bag as well but you can totally get gifts for that much.

limos - figure 1500-2000
wedding bands- figure around 1,000 for yours and 600 for his
gifts for BP - Figure around $100
hair and make up- I personally cannot see spending that much money on this...Figure $200-300 tops

Honestly, I've been in a few weddings, including being an MOH and the BP gifts have never been that high. One wedding I got my DOJ and a handbag approximately $40-$50. For another one I got only DOJ and that's when I was MOH for about $30. So, the BP gifts may be approximating a bit high. But, that is just IMO. Also, FH got a cigar for being a groomsmen, only that, and loved it.

Limos hopefully no more than 1500 for two (one for FH & I and a big one for the bridal party.

Rings I would say probably say may be $2000 or less including both rings. I do really want to get FH a nice ring.

I have 6 girls in my party and I am putting $450 towards gifts

I do not want an isle runner for the church ( the floors at r church r gorgeous without it)

Hair and makeup I am willing to pay for, so probably around $400
