Here's a spinoff to the 'what did you splurge on' question.
How have your 'big ticket items' come out compared to what you thought you would spend???

Re: Spinoff to Splurge Question
Reception - WAY more. We just fell in love with Land's End!
Band - well we were gonna go DJ so more in general, but FILs said they would pay for a band so less out of me and FH's pocket
Photo - almost exactly what I expected
That's all we have so far!

Catering hall - about what I expected
Dress - 3x more than I expected (only because the dress I got is 3x more than the dress I was originally going to get!!)
BM dresses - less than what I expected Hair/Makeup - about what I expected Tiara/Veil - less than I expected...go Tri-County!!
Everything else will be booked over the next month or 2....

Re: Spinoff to Splurge Question
Dress- About what I expected...I didn't look at anything outside of my budget
Reception - What I expected
Photography/Video - What I expected
Band - Not what I expected...Originally I wanted a DJ but the price we got was so good, that it really didn't matter
Florist - Less then I expected!!! I was actually shocked!!
Honeymoon - Less then expected...FH's cousin is giving us their timeshare, so we only have to pay for flights & activities we decide to do!
Overrall, we are right on budget to what we expected!

Re: Spinoff to Splurge Question
I think we're spending more on everything than I had expected!!! Certainly didn't think I'd spend so much on my dress! I guess everything else is about right. I'm almost afraid to start researching the HM, I know that's gonna be a lot more than we're anticipating!!
