Over Budget

Over Budget

How much over budget are you? FH and I just reviewed our budget and if we stick to our allotted budget for all the remaining items we need to buy we will only be a few hundred dollars over. Not too bad but we still have to get rings, favors, invitations!

I believe I went about $5000 over.

Re: Over Budget

I haven't even checked my budget for while, and believe me I'm so not looking forward for it

Re: Over Budget

am I the only one who didn't have an actual budget? my goal was to price everything out and do it AS CHEAP as POSSIBLE. I think we will end up being under 15K not including honeymoon.

Re: Over Budget

We are over about 7,000 ... this does not include the HM

Re: Over Budget

We are good with our budget right now. The only thing that might make us go a couple of hundred over (which isn't bad at all) is if we get more people that said Yes than expected which means adding a table/CP which will bring the florist final payment up.

Re: Over Budget

Re: Over Budget

Everything is paid in full and I refuse to add it all up till after the wedding.

I am too nervous!

Re: Over Budget

I didn't make a budget.... because I knew I wasn't going to stick to it.... Thanks to you guys I had an idea of what each vendor charges!

Re: Over Budget

We've readjusted our budget a few times since getting engaged so we are on track for the 'final budget' but the is 10,000-15,000 more than our original budget

but We had no idea what wedding things cost so our original budget doesn't count as far as I'm concerned

Well if it's paid in full you're not over budget! Just created a new one!

FH and I have bee saving XX amount of money each month to meet our total goal. So if we go over budget we are going to have to save more each month or scramble to find more cash!

Re: Over Budget

i've lost track

i think we're pretty on target though. flowers were much cheaper than i budgeted for, but the band was more. invites were more. since all the 'big' things are booked, i think all the little things i've been buying might put us over budget, but maybe by like $1000-2000 max.

Re: Over Budget

it's hard to say because it depends on how many people we have...because we just put the cost of the RH as the guarantee number. I think we will go about $5000 over budget since we only have a little money left for the little things we havent done yet!

Re: Over Budget

We are currently over by about 2K but we haven't put in for RD, invites or the rest of the girls gifts.

I'm excpecting to be over by about 5K when all is said and done.

Re: Over Budget

really budget.Since the wedding was all on me and fh I didnt want to spend more than 20 with everything including honeymoon so if thats considered our budget we are almost 40K over budget. Im thinking we didnt really have a budget. Brentwood with no package gets expensive

Re: Over Budget

Assuming we continue at the rate we've been going (and we only have small things like candles, cake toppers, etc. to go)...we'll actually come out UNDER budget by 25-30%!!!!!
