YOu girls are out of your mind. It is one night five hours that goes by in the blink of an eye. Do what is economical. If you care what people think you are nuts! Be classy less is more. You can have a simple wedding with good dinner and a good dj for 20,000 and less. Do not have an extravagant venetian hour most people leave before the wedding ends...just a few quick comments from someone who recently got married..

Re: what do you think your wedding cost? ...

way too much! Try not to think about that final dollar amount
But I realized if I quote really low and use the word my budget is, vendors are really helpful

My budget is $16,000 and I have only gone over $300. We have everything except for limos because I am getting married at the reception hall. The guest list will probably be around 130 so its a smaller wedding. Also, my wedding will be on a Sunday evening so that's why its a little cheaper. And...THANK YOU MOM for buying my dress, veil, slip, invitations, and flowers!

Re: what do you think your wedding cost? ...

About $30,000 give or take. I never really added it up bec I got scared

Re: what do you think your wedding cost? ...

The reception and vendors will be $48k...and that's only if I really stick to our 200 minimum. I have to imagine it will be around $60k with rehearsal dinner, wedding rings, bp gifts and other random stuff. And then I am budgeting 15k for the honeymoon..

Re: what do you think your wedding cost? ...

It will probably be the average 28k. We're not going nuts on a lot of extras, and I'm an EXCELLENT shopper. My one stupid splurge will be my venetian masks, but then I'll have them forever, so ehhh, it's fine.

Re: what do you think your wedding cost? ...

originally i only wanted to spend 25k but my rh is atleast 23k so i am guessing around 35k

Re: what do you think your wedding cost? ...

i originally budgeted 20k, but then made a 2nd budget for 25k

i keep them next to each other, and try to stick to a happy medium..

for example: we went up to the 25k budget for our rh, but flowers and dj will be under even the 20k one..all in all im hoping to stick to 20k, and then well have about 40% or so payed for by our parents..
