So, Im sure we all tried to figure out that number, the wedding budget!!
What is that number and so far, are you sticking to it? Do you think you will?

I said: $25k
I think at the end it will be closer to $30k.

I am trying on saving with maybe DIY projects. For some reason, DJ's are going to cost me more than I expected. Im looking on ways to make some cuts but, in the right vendor.
And girls, Dont forget tipping is part of your budget. I hate to think about that!

forty -- friggin -- thousand!!!

And we're paying for it all ourselves. Lord.....

Same boat here. I worked on revising my budget this morning - and it looks like I'm just over $40K. I don't know how we're going to do it - as of right now we're paying for it all, but I'm hoping to find a rich uncle or something in the process - or sell a kidney or something!

45K the most and not a penny more..
we're also having around 275 guests so it's hard..the reception alone is just too much with tips and tax included...and if there's more people, you have to pay for more invitations, more CP's etc... i start having panic attacks when i think of this much money spent on one day!!!
luckily my parents and his parents will pay for half of the wedding but still!!!

I am thinking without factoring in Honeymoon around 22,000. With Honeymoon included 28,000

Um, yeah.... My budget... I try not to think about it:)
But I'm hoping to come in just under 40K. The mere thought of spending that much sends me into an anxiety attack. Luckily, I have more parents than God, and both them and FH's Mom is being generous. It is after all their fault that our guest list is so large! Both are kids of divorce!!
