I think the general concensus is that we use the term 'BUDGET' very loosely since most of us don't stick to it. I started out with a $25,000 estimate --boy, was I ambitious...

I spent under $17,000 for everything, including the hall for 100 guests. The only thing that did not include was our honeymoon - everything else is in that figure (including rings, gifts, everything.) You can cut costs in a lot of places if you are willing to. You have to figure out what your non-negotiables are and what you can live without and stick to it. If you are trying to stick to a budget, the toughest thing in my opinion, is not to cave into the pressure other people put on you to invite certain people or have certain things that you don't want (and these are usually people who are NOT paying for them!)

Oh mi gosh Sue, you're more than generous! I'm getting gifts for my BM's too but we're not paying for their hair and make-up. I hope they appreciate the gowns.
As sad as it is, the general consensus seems to be that if it's your wedding than you should pay for everything...I guess that's the current trend...
then I must be a biatch because I'm not paying for anything...(gown, hair makeup)....I'll be getting my hair and makeup done of course and I'm gonna ask the girls in advance if they want in but I can't foot that bill....I'm going to get them a gift but you guys are so generous I can't get over it ...I kinda feel bad
