We aiming for $15K not including honeymoon. That's for approx. 85 people on a Friday night. So, far we are right on target...but everything is expensive!

I never really thought about it until now and I'm thinking we're going to fall between $35,000 and $40,000. OH, god that makes me sick to my stomach to think we're spending all that money!!! But I guess its all worth it, right?

I stopped keeping track a while ago. LOL. I perfer not to know. We are fortunate enough that my mom is helping us pay for the reception and his parents are paying for our honeymoon.

Way more than I ever planned. It is now between 35-40.

We're not keeping track either, I can't bear the thought of all this money on one day!!!

My guess is 38-ish.

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

We spent about 20K including honeymoon and rings. We had 110 people at the wedding.

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

I'm doing my d*mnedest (is that a word?) to keep it under 40k. I am lucky, my mother is putting up the lion's share of it (Love you mom). When all is said and done, with rings and honeymoon it will more than likely be 45k.

I sooo wanted to hop a plane and elope.

Jill13bean we are around 130, but with a 150 minimum.

i am going to end up around 100,000 but that is becuase my dad is paying and wants to invite lots- It will be about 250 people where 200 are from my side - its sick i would rather elope and use the mney for a nice house but i am the only daughter

We tried to keep it under 20k but that went out the window before we even ordered invitations, my dress, hired a florist. And we're only having a cocktail reception! And we don't have a videographer!

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

I just added up how much we still have to pay out and its more than my original budget was in total! And I can't tell you how much we've already laid out. Let's just say that it's more than DOUBLE my original budget!!

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

Had a GREAT wedding for about 10K! 100 people. Hint: Try shopping for the same services that arent labled 'bridal' in front if it and save big bucks, and make what you can yourself!!

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

Right now it looks like $25,000. I'm trying to book as much as possible now to hold 2004 prices for 2006. I'm very blessed my parents are paying for everything except the honeymoon.

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

As little as possible....I haven't written anything down, but we have the honeymoon (we have a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas)--I don't want to start adding it up...We are not having a video or limos, no tuxes (suits), ....oh but the photog is $$$...I found the ring pillow for 50cents, so that took a few bucks off the total (LOL)...

Re: Just curious on your budgets for your whole wedding?

Oh God, I would venture to say it will end up in the 50K range (we're paying for some and my parents for some, so I'm responsible for 15-20K of that, BUT STILL!)
