The effect of the recession on weddings is yet to be determined, so we thought we would see how Wollies have been effected.

Thanks!

I'm in northern Ireland too. We're spending around 8k on our wedding but we're not really having a honeymoon so that's about 4k saved. I voted 10-15k to allow for exchange rates and the fact that we're not having a honeymoon.

What we spent we practically made back. People's generosity is overwhelming! We never imagined in a million years that we'd receive so many generous gifts. We love our family and friends!! :xxx

Budgeting

Postby gillchughes » Wed Jun 03, 2022 8:33 pm

Just make sure you are not in debt after the wedding-it is just one day. And you don't want to spend the honeymoon worrying about it!

I recently just qualified as a teacher so have been in college for the past year. We (H2B and I) are really set on our date and its HIM not me that fumes if postponing the wedding is mentioned!! I dont want to take out a loan exactly for the reason u said gillchughes but as someone else above said you cant put a price on happiness.... So sod it if I must take out a loan so be it, I've cut back as much as I can on the budget (to the extent where Im getting my dress off ebay for €100 hahaha) but its still 20k WITHOUT our honeymoon!!!

Still waiting for the hotels, bands, cars to go down in price but nope :(:(

Ours at the min is around 28k withour a honeymoon. H2B is keeping money separate for that. I think it'd be pushed just over the 30k otherwise.
Very scary food drink and entertaining is the most of it. Food/Drink is coming in or around 13k for 150 people and entertainment is around 4k but we have lots of it.

Its early doors for us too but getting some figures together now and we reckon it willl cost €20K - €25. One good thing about the recession is that we can avail of the good prices now and by the time we are paying in full the economy will have turned around :thnk

We are going to haggle on every part of it...

We're well under 10k for ours. We're having about 70 guests at our wedding party. It will be less formal than your standard wedding reception, but exactly the type of party we want. We're staying local and hiring out the local sailing club rather than using an hotel, and getting in some great local caterers. We haven't cut back on anything due to costs. We're just having the type of day we both want and keeping it simple, but special.

Callie07 If you have the money then why not make it the most magical day possible!! Im the opposite Im into simple things n not the princessy type although Ive been sent into a spin when looking at dresses sooooo brill and exciting!!!

Someone has said that we'll benefit from this recession?? Eh no prices haven't changed in alot of places I was looking at last year!! At the moment its ALL about the haggling!!

The guy due to be on 4 weddings this monday would be complaining about this poll. His budgeted amount isn't available apparently he's spending £77k :eek :eek :eek
