Re: If you dont mind me asking...

Including HM, rings, gifts for each other, it will be over 100k. Thank God FH and I are only paying for the above mentioned things.

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

Our budget was 40K but we ended spending a little over 50K.

That included everything. Honeymoon, hair, BP gifts - the whole entire package.

The reception hall cost about 30K

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

dang - I think my budget somewhere in the middle which is funny b/c I have NO extras. . . i think it was just going for a live band which I really wanted but would take back now if I could! other than that it was just RH, photo (no video) and invitations and basic flowers. . no idea how it adds up so fast and only 100 guests. . .. I am planning on having an amazing time day of and trying not to think about $$$$$ at all. . but I still have 3 months to win megamillions. ..

I'm getting m,arried at the Brentwood Country Club and it was the best decision I ever made. EVRYTHING is included and I really don't have to do a thing. Plus FH's parents are paying for the HM. So in all I think everything will be around 20K if not a bit less.

I think its hard to cmpare to one another. Someone may have 60 people and another may have 400. Obviously they will have different budgets. Maybe posta poll to see after all is said and done, what the grand total would be if it was split up per person- but including everything, not just the hall.

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

I budgeted for around 45k (including honeymoon) The only things I have left are my dress/accessories, invitations, and bp gifts. I think we are going to be somewhere around this budget.

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

if you only invite 80 people then i can understand only paying 20K, but my list is at 240.....so a little different

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

plus when you pay for it yourself, you really add it all up

i have a spreadsheet that tally's up everything! including tips, and acessories

I think we'll end up at $40K for wedding and $10k for honeymoon....paying for it ourselves.

We're in the same boat!!!

Re: If you dont mind me asking...

I'm at $16,500 for the band, photo/video and flowers. RH will be about $31,000 if we have 200 guests. I am hoping to god we dont have more...b/c my parents will cover the cost of the 200...but we have to pay for additional. So that's 46k and we still need limos, favors, wedding bands, church fees, tips, invitations, dress (parents paying) and all the other random extras. This stresses me out when I write it down!! I'd like to think it's all free. LOL
