Total Cost (itemized)

trust me, i'm definitely gonna be doing the math as soon as it's all over. I've been keeping a record of everything we spend so it'll be easy. I don't think i'll be too disturbed by the final price, however. I've done a really good job I think. FH has told me multiple times how proud he is of me for cutting back where I can and finding deals and what have you. Needless to say, he is sooooo grateful. lol

RH: $ 15K (150 people)

DJ: $1,250

Flowers: $2,800

Photographer: $1700

Limos: $1350

Videographer: $900

Hotel Room: $438

Officiant: $300

Dress: $900 (w/alterations)

Jewelry: $60

Hair/Make-up: $175

Shoes: $60

Misc. (decor, menus, programs, etc.): $200

Invites: $400

Favors: $470

Attendants' gifts: $600

hmmm....everytime i do this i stop when i get up to around 50K

to be honest, im not sure, the price goes up quick if i add in expenses related to the wedding like my invisalign braces and my FH's wedding gift

there are still some things we need to book - like a shuttle and a limo - and we have to finish up on bridal party gifts......i still have alterations to do, and my FH still has to get his tux, so we have some big things and little odds and ends to take care of - also programs, placecards, favors, we have alot of little things that can add up over time....plus the HM costs we wont know how much it really costs until we get back....

one thing i did not include was my e-ring....to me that is a seperate cost (thank god! )

i don't think we are going to go over 70K i thought that we could have wedding for around 35-40K but for the things we both want it just wasn't happening and although it sickens me, part of me is kind of okay with it - b/c its everything that we really want

I was estimating about $70k but now that you make me think

RH -- 35,000 (200 people)
Flowers - $5,000
Photo/Video -- $6,500
Band -- $13,000
Dress -- $2500
Invitations -- $800 (i'm estimating)
Wedding Rings -- $5,000
Extras -- $1,000 (fans, slippers, etc if I do them)
shoes/veil/hairpiece -- $250
Honeymoon -- $6,000
BM/GM gifts -- $500

Of course none of this includes tips and I'm sure I'm forgetting things like hair & makeup, etc

forgot officiant -- $300.

RH: $ 14K
DJ: $1,700
Flowers: $2,800
Photographer/Videographer: $4500
Officiant: $300
Dress: $1300 (w/alterations)
Jewelry/Shoes/Etc $250
Veil/Headpiece: 250
Hair/Make-up: $250
Invites: $400
Favors: $200
Gifts for Bridal Party: $900
Honeymoon:$6000
Rings:$1500
Misc: (diamond confetti, placecards, frames, memorial candle,etc etc ETC) $1000 (this one is an estimate, and grows by THE DAY

So all in all $22,750 and growing, and im sure im forgeting something....Also, to point out this is a SMALL wedding, we are talking 120 people on a Fri....UGH excuse me while i go puke. :(

Okay I guess I will play along.. Even though I HATE thinking of how much this stuff costs!!!

This is what I have so far:

Reception Hall: Anywhere from $20-27K! (I know this is a huge gap but we have 260 guests invited and about 50 of those people are international.. We don't think most of them are coming but you can't be to sure!)
Photo/video: $5,500
Flowers: $2,300
Honeymoon: $6,700
DJ: $500-700 (We have a connection..)
Church: $1,500 (don't ask!!!)
Limos: Not sure of the exact amount but between $1,500-2K..

ok i'm not done planning yet but here;s what i got so far

hall for 170 people = 22,950
dj = 3500
florist without CP's = 1350
photo/video = 3600
rings = 1800
limos = 750


so far...33,950
