What's your final number??

Mrs Schmidt, on August 29, 2014 at 8:56 AM Posted in Planning 0 37

Have you crunched the numbers?

I took some time last weekend to figure out the total amount of what we've spent on the wedding. The total included everything the venue, food, beverage, dress, alterations, grooms stuff, gifts, placecards, etc. Nothing was left out and it came to..........

$26,272.09 **correction, had to add in the $50.00 from last night's final fitting.

not too bad considering, that's what some people just spend on venue, food, and beverage.

Alright ladies, go time! =)

    I am a bit concerned about how alterations, all this custom stuff I keep adding, hotel rooms, babysitters, gifts, and tips is going to kick us over, but our budget is over double that. :X

    When it was all said and done final total was just over 30K

    Edit I saw yours included everything.. this didn't include our rings or my dress, shoes, veil etc (those were bought by my family) the price includes, the reception (venue, food, open bar , DJ,) limo, church, flowers.

    @NewLife84- yes, normally this would be outrageous but the list includes everything down to the laces for my shoes and the marriage license. So it's not what is spent on the party portion.

    My FH would KILL me. there would be no wedding. I don't have that kind of cash flow anyways, but even if I did he would kill me. so far I am up to like $1350 with everything I have spent. I still have more to spend...but mostly food.

    Well it's not what FH and I only spent, it's a joint effort. Our families wanted a final price tag of this shindig, so I got all the receipts together.

    Basically, its what my FH, myself, and my parents spent.

    OMG I am dying over here. I would choke if our total had that many digits. We are at about $3500 including the wedding, clothes, and honeymoon.

    Good work!!!

    Ours was roughly $14,500 (excluding $1800 honeymoon and both of our ring costs). Calculated everything to the penny until the last couple of days, but I know things lined up with my projections.

    180 happy people attended our wedding at a beautiful golf club, ate apps and a full dinner, we had an amazing DJ and Photographer. Everything we wanted! I did my homework - didn't want to spend more than $15k.

    I think it was around $8500. I never tallied everything. It was paid for, didn't really matter after the fact. My budget was $7500, so not too bad. I'm fugal and we were in the process of buying a house.

    WW boards have definitely shown me there are all types of weddings. With gratuities we are within our 35k budget. Don't have every single detail added in yet but it'll still fit

    My total is $20,244 with honeymoon included but not the wedding bands. I never thought I would spend that much money and it hasn't seemed liked that much I guess be cause I started early and paid things off along the way. Man that's a lot of money!!!! Good grief :-/
