Total Cost (itemized)

If you dont mind answering, and dont mind the time it might take, itemized, can you tell me what you are spending to add up to a total wedding cost of___????. Im only asking to compare to what I am or anticipate spending and use as a guideline. Thanks!! (and dont leave the medicine cabinet open while you do this )

Oh...and if you could say how many ppl you are having along with the rh $

i think if i did this i'd cry honestly dh didnt even know in the end how much the total was. I started calculating how much we had spent in total and i had to stop at one point. When he saw some of the list he was shocked when he saw around what figure i was at

HOw many guests are you having? and any particular vendors you need help with. Just asking specific questions bc its going to be hard to determine by others answers, someone could spend $120 pp while another can pay $175pp for the same rh same day and everything depending on whether the person adds a bunch of extras.

I can help with guidelines for specific things, such as average prices for flowres, average for photo and so on. I dont want to post my own numbers lol sorry

Hall for 180 people. $21600
Flowers $2500-

thx for sharing
how are you getting hair/maekup for that cheap?? everyone seems to be so much more - who are you using??

I'm only in beginning stages...here are my estimates

RH - $34,000 for 225 people
Band - the one we might book $6700
Photo/video - approx $6500
Limos - $1500-2000

I havent priced anything else yet.
I think my total will be near $60k...i want to cry as i type that!

I am the same.

Rh 35000 for 225 people
DJ- 3700
Photo/Video- 6700
Flowers- 2900
Dress- 1000- inc alterations
Limos- 1500

I figured with honeymoon it will be about 70K. I can't believe how much this costs. I also went all out on everything, which I probably shouldnt have, but I figured what the hell....you do it once. I am sure the day after the wedding, I will regret spending that much money, but what can I do now.

I wasnt even including honeymoon...i forgot about that expense!! I guess I am up to 70k now...or more. At this rate, I'm going to be honeymooning in my backyard : )

Okay, this will be the first time doing this..
