Who has exceeded their budget?

so far... FH and I are slightly above what we set out to spend on the wedding. I'm sure it will keep growing!

I honestly...don't think we even set a budget...

God only knows what we were thinking!

Yeah we are too - so I'm going to start skimping on things like invites and favors!

I did not set a firm budget but we are right about where we thought we would be.

Re: Who has exceeded their budget?

the main reason we're over is because of all the stuff we're adding last minute

most everything we originally budgeted for was right on target, or slightly under even.

Ditto. It's hitting home as the 'big day' gets closer and closer.

Actually, I have a very extensive spreadsheet of everything that has to be paid for for the wedding, and I think we will be okay. But, there are a lot of things that are on the sheet that I haven't bought yet, so I don't know how much I am paying for them. I think we'll be okay if I keep the cost of invitations and favors low.

So far, we're right where we thought we'd be. But there's still a long way to go and whne we did the budget there was a lot of figures we made up. I really have no idea how much favors will cost, or BM gifts or even flowers.

So far it looks like we're slightly under (only b/c FFIL is paying for the honeymoon and my parents paid for my dress and veil).

Oh, I guess I also have to add one more condition: we'll be okay provided that we have 140 guests...and we invited 180
