Wedding Cost PollRe: Wedding Cost Poll
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!

Re: Wedding Cost Poll
Im spending around £5000 on my wedding not including honeymoon (an extra £3000) - We decided to do a budget wedding as we have both small families and a small amount of close friends.
Even spending so little on my wedding I have my Dream dress, Dream venue first choice of band and gorgeous cake and flowers ordered....so proud of my own thriftyness!!! LOL [url][url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Re: Wedding Cost Poll

Re: Wedding Cost Poll
Hahahaha!
I just have to laugh...at myself that is! I was totally on a budget and then blew it completely. But I just don't care anymore....my wedding is in two months and I am totally excited, didn't compromise on anything that I really really wanted even though I had grand ideas of saving. I even hit the sales early on Tuesday morning to get my wedding shoes and came home with a pair of Christian Louboutins. (they weren't on sale) Nothing worked out as cheap a I expected it to except for my bridesmaids dresses from dresselicious. But if you are determined and well organised you can definitely do well!

Oh lord we sat down and did a rough budget last night and it's come in over €35,000 I almost fell off the chair.
We also did a count on guests coming up with numbers between 250 and 300 but at the above price I think we should just run away together.. I had my heart set on a beautiful local venue but now that's looking like its way out of our league... Oh to win lotto [url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]

Re: Wedding Cost Poll
Just got engaged over christmas and I too am having a hard time with the cost of a wedding !! its just insane !! ive just started looking into it, its scary and a bit overwhelming! I wonder would it be easier to go abroad!!?? Just me and the H2B!! either that or the lotto!
Re: Wedding Cost Poll
I think you just have to manage your expectations, see what your friends can do for you and hunt hard for bargains.
Myself and my bride to be got engaged on Christmas Eve, thinking Feb 2013 for the wedding to take advantage of better hotel rates for winter (as o/h says, it's not like you can trust summer weather in Ireland anyway). Already we've been offered: photography from a friend who's semi-pro (professional quality but earns more in a stable 9-5 than she would as a pro photographer) The Cake to be made by an Aunt The Dress made by Bride's Mother Band at a huge discount (brother's in the only band I'd want for my wedding) We're having a civil ceremony which negates the need for cars, pre-marriage courses etc. and will be making our own invites, favours, bouquets etc. I'd initially set a budget of a max of 10k and I'm starting to think we might actually come in closer to 6/7k all told.
Re: Wedding Cost Poll

[ Re: Wedding Cost Poll
I've put an absolute max of €20k on the wedding...we are however getting married on Easter Saturday next year which is helping as it's an off-peak day! That's saving us about €30 a head at least...we're blowing the extra €10k on 4 weeks in Italy and I have to say I can't wait!
