I'm trying to keep mine under 20,000 - seems crazy spending anymore! Like most the hotel/food is coming in at approx 10,000 for 110 people maximum.

Dress - parents buying it
Church / drinks reception music: 990
Photographer: 995 - CD only package - until we have more money to get an album
Cake: Mother making it
Flowers: Mother in law to be doing the flowers, church decoration & hotel bits and pieces
B/maid dresses: Cousin making flower girl dress, 3 bridesmaid dresses I plan to get on bridesmaids.com all three for a maximum 500
Band: 2,000
Videographer: only if we can afford it - so not booking anything just yet.
Honeymoon: Nothing deceided yet - waiting to see if we can afford it.
Invitations: Getting a local print shop to do up a plain postcard thing - maximum 100euro
Hairdresser for 5 people: 300
Makeup for 5 people: tbc but not paying more than 300.
Suits for Groomsmen etc: tbc
Cars: Uncle has a nice car so he is driving me

Think that's about it! :wv

Our budget was €7,000 and managed to stay within that. We had 72 guests. We had a lot of help from friends and family who took photographs; provided transport (for me and the parents); made the bouquets (my brooch bouquet and buttonholes, small bouquet for the lst minute bridesmaid); made the cakes (fruit cake and a cupcake for everyone). In addition a friend stepped in as DJ when our original one fecked off with our deposit - we just hired the equipment for the weekend. We had another friend make cocktails for us instead of expensive fizz for the drinks reception. We picked wild flowers for the tables so we saved there as well and my uncle bought my dress as a gift.

We did spend a lot on hiring the venue (an old country house) but that was the bulk of the spend. I think you can be canny about what you spend by thinking about what you really need on your wedding day. Having a late afternoon start for our civil ceremony helped, put quite simply the less time you have your guests hanging around the less food/drink you'll have to give them, now I sound like a cheapskate :innocent: We did have an amazing day though as will all of you

shumbles that's amazing that you managed all of that!! We have about 140 guests. Most of them are actually family so not much we can do about numbers. We have a very small amount of friends that are being invited!! Ours is a civil ceremony starting at 3.30pm Was that including your honeymoon? Our honeymoon is costing around €2600 for flights and Accommodation! So looking forward to honeymoon! :hyper:

Ours is coming in at 11,500 for 100 guests including honeymoon.
We got a good deal on the hotel and are cutting a lot of the extras.I thought it would be 10,000 but there were lots of things that I hadnt budgeted for such as paying for the premarraige course and registering the marraige. Everything is pretty much accounted for now, hopefully there will be no more suprises!
