Wow, looking at your list of things, I am now fearful that I may have understated my bill. Geesh...

Including rings, hm and everything else my wedding is coming in (for approx. 75 guests) at approx. $14,000.00. My mom is giving us $1000.00 and hopefull his parents will keep there promise to pay for the HM, so we will be responsible for about 11700.
edited to say: We started making monthly payments early so that helped alot.

Re: Official Budget Thread

The band and photographer made us over budget. But that is very important to us. Well, probably more important to me more than us.

Re: Official Budget Thread

Originally I budgeted 30K for 100-125 guests, honeymoon not included. Now I bumped it up to 35-40K. The venue and band will be my big tickets items, although all other 'little things' will add up!

I hope I am overestimating. We will be paying for the bulk of it, however my parents will be contributing as well.

my budget is $15,000 including the hm., for 60-70 people. my parents are paying for the limos, favors, the down payment on the hall and some other little things like my garter and stuff like that. my aunt is paying for my flowers and i don't know yet what fh parents are paying for yet. so all that is going to help out a lot.

Our beudget is $25,000 for 150 guests. Includes everything but HM. We'll be tight, but I think we'll be pretty close to budget.

Ok, so I'm not feeling so stressed about how much we are spending now. We have a budget of about 40k that includes reception, hm and spending money , some for furniture, and 1st month rent and everything else we could think of related to the wedding. We are having about 110 guest.

Me, us...what's the difference?

We're overbudget on photography (so worth it IMO!) and our rings (have to wear it forever, don't I?) but I don't care anymore. I stopped adding the numbers because it was stressing me out way too much!
