Over budget?
Is anyone else concerned with going over budget because I can already see it happening with us!

Not quite sure yet. We probably will be a little over budget, not insanely.

We're definitely going to go over, but it seems like it won't be much more than $5K over.

Re: Over budget?
I have worked a lot of wedding before and did major pricing research before committing to a date and venue. we could definitely go over but not by much. I too am determined not to go over!

Re: Over budget?
I'm not over yet, but I feel like I still have a lot to tackle so I'm estimating that we may go over by close to 10K!

Over budget?
I agree. When you start off with a budget unaware of how much a venue, vendors, etc will cost, usually you end up going over budget.

We set a budget of 35,000. So far we are at 38,000, but we have everything booked. I'm hoping it isn't much more!

Re: Over budget?
We had an original budget of $25,000 and we're $6,000 away from hitting that amount so I know that we're definitely going over. I think that we'll end up spending close to $35,000, maybe more.

I set a goal of $20,000 and we're budgeted for $25,000 but I don't think we will go over. I'm a DIY queen and my aunt and uncle are giving us videography as a gift, which I thought was a nice idea from family members to do, give a little something each not as expensive as a vendor but FFIL is covering FH's expenses and my parents of course are covering dress, showers, photobooth and other things.

Over budget?
We've been talking about this the past few days. With all the things that I refuse to settle for mediocrity (is that a word?), we will probably go over budget. But there are also some things that we didn't include in the budget. For example, my dream dress is close to $5k, so I've been saving up for it myself. But hopefully, we won't go too crazy.

I am pretty determined not to go over our $25k budget. If I do go over it won't be more than $5k over. But I'm pretty set on not!

My budget is $50k which I think is a waste- but I over budgeted on purpose. My dad almost had a heart attack when I told him I wanted a magician for cocktail hour. I'm confident that our final budget will be $40K. I'm doing g a lot of DIY projects and negotiating hard core. Even if a vendor gives me a quote that's under my budget, I still try to get them down more.

So funny, we REALLY wanted the Coney Island Side Show to do some sort of performance at the wedding but both parents said they wouldn't pay one cent for the wedding if we hired them! Thinking about it now, I'm happy we decided against it

We budgeted 30k but I see us going to 40K as we're getting married during the summer and want an evening wedding. We're splurging on the venue and photography...everything else will be cheap or DIY!

Re: Over budget?
I'm already over and don't have flowers, limos, invitations, an officiant, accessories.My mom's favorite words are 'what's another grand at this point?'
And this is me
