Is a wedding for 8000.00 possible?

Def possible. Find out the info in your area, crunch the numbers, figure out how much food and drink and venue/dj all costs first..and photog, only then do you determine the number of guests..guest number is one of , if not THE best way to keep costs down. food and drink and gratuity really add up! plus centerpieces.

No idea on that one......but Congrats on the engagement!!!!!!

I'm planning my wedding for less than 8k, but not on or near a beach. I wish you the best of luck!!

It would depend on how many people you're having, but it's definitely possible to have a wedding for $8000 (or less!).

Congrats! It's definitely possible but to help you we would need some more information, such as where you are and how many people you'd like to have...

Someone was just talking about her luck with an all-inclusive wedding. Try to google it and put "all inclusive wedding package beach" and the zip code. See what comes up. You can usually find something, and the prices are all over the board.

Also it depends a lot on your region..some places just cost more than others in terms of venue prices, DJs, and other vendors.

edited to add PS: congrats on your engagement!! :-)

I think it's possible!! you need to start contacting vendors and start the guest list

Congrats on your engagement. It is very possible to have a beautiful wedding for $8k or less. My wedding budget is $6k but I'm planning on making a lot of the smaller things myself. The dinner is probably going to be the biggest cost and that ultimately revolves around your guest list. If you're looking to cut costs, consider a mostly DIY wedding.

Congratulations on the engagement!

It is possible, but keep the guest list very small.

Make priorities about what is most important to you for your wedding, and create your budget that way. If you don't have to have something, you don't really need it.

So possible. I will have 150 guests, Sat wedding popular venue, enough food and alcohol for everyone and I am only at $5000. It all depends on what is important to you.

Congrats and welcome to WW.

Yep, it's possible. The best thing FH and I did was individually decide what I/he REALLY wants and what I/he REALLY didn't care about. We compared notes and decided what WE wanted a lot, and what we didn't care much about, and what was in between. Stay realistic, you probably can't spend $2-3k on your dress, and still feed 200 guests a plated dinner with an open bar... but be realistic and you'll be fine.

Phylisann, we need to talk.. how in the world are you only at $5k?

@Jen L The venue we picked has flowers, linens, lighting, food and alcohol all included in the head count. Love it.

Yes you def can... mine is 5000.00 everything included ( food is for 40 ppl and $10 a head after that for heavy hor dorves...).. thats the both cakes, flowers video, pictures decos ...try looking for all inclusive wedding venues... good luck and congrats!

I can't find a venue for less than $4000 with a minimum of 50 guests and that is all inclusive as well. How can you possibly have $5000 with 150 people???

YUP! Sure can.. I am getting married in Central Florida for $8000 including the honeymoon! You have to plan in advance and be creative that's all. It doesn't mean you have to have plastic cutlery or dollar store centerpieces either! I saved a ton of money using craigslist to buy once-used items from other brides and I also purchased on weddingbee.com wedding classifieds! I used 40% off coupons for anything I bought at Michaels (using my phone app) and I ordered all my printed material on Vistaprint mostly free paying only S&H. My honeymoon is a cruise which is super affordable! Hope this helps

I am not sure how she is doing 5000 for 150 people but with the work she can do it! depending on her area.

thats the question can it be done in your area. what is imporant to you?

i am getting everything( the dress the limo the venue) i want for 80 people for around 6k

I must also add if you have an Ikea in your area-- they have SUPER cheap vases and votives! I bought my vases for $2 and my votive candle holders for $0.50 and they are reallllly nice and heavy too!!!

Very if your smart about it research it all there is always something cheaper ive discovered I live in southern California in the LA area which is super pricey and im doing it for 6 Hopefully lol so far so good but its about finding the right prices and being smart about what we want
