in the beginning we were hoping to stay under $50,000 but now that we are booking and adding things up we are hoping we finish up UNDER $70,000... that includes the honeymoon.

about 230-240 guests BTW...

but it's totally worth it and i know when we look back on it we'll be really happy we worked hard and saved up to earn it!!

Honestly, that's not so bad your having 250 people... We're having 150 (MAX) & we're spending 60K (but that includes everything, cost of e-ring, wedding bands, & guesstimate for honeymoon)


Our actual wedding is closer to 30k / 35 k

For about 225 people, our wedding bands, HM, gratuity, and everything else (cake server, hair, make-up, cake topper, etc.), we are looking at about $70-75K. Our RH is costing almost 1/2 of that - that is where most of our budget went. I did really good on budgeting for everything else. Excellent vendors for excellent prices! Our HM is also where a lot of our budget went. We are going away for 3 weeks and it is costing us about $20K. Those 2 things (RH & HM) were very to FH & I which is why we did not really stay within a budget for those things. But we are definitely shopping around for everything else, and trying to keep costs down wherever we can.

we started at $40k for 150, not including rings and HM
looks like our list is going to be 175, so now we're @ $44k

with rings and honeymoon >$50k

80% paid for by ourselves- ugh, i'm so screwed!

we are in the same boat... if you count everything wedding related we'll be about 60k for 150 ppl.

I had a $25,000 budget for our end not counting what my parents were putting in. We went way past that when it was all said and done.
