View Quoted Comment Hi Lauren !
The rule of thumb I’ve been advised you invite 150 expect 150 till all the RSVP comes in lol

Around $250k my future wife and I have worked soo hard for this but finally happening, most of it it’s going on a famous grupo and band. (Mexican style wedding )

Like $5k at most for 40 people . And it’s going to be really nice . And just what we wanted .

Wow! I am amazed by some of the budgets!! I am planning a rushed wedding in under 30 days (before beginning chemo again), have 100 guests and am right at $2000! Venue, photography were donated, I made most decorations, and friends cooking for reception. ❤️

We did 5k for 180 guests. This includes honeymoon, bands, everything. We’re all about deals!

Our Budget is set at $15k with a destination wedding in Mexico and that literally includes everything! And we are currently under that budget so I'm super excited 😊

We hoping to stay around 20k for 75 guest. I did not include wedding attire.

We budget for 100 immediate family & friends only budget 15K. We left the option open if others want to celebrate with us and charge them for their plate.

Our original budget was $15,000 for 200 people. We are now at about $21,000, but that includes our honeymoon. Happy planning! Remember, if it doesn’t matter to you, don’t feel obligated to spend tons of money on it!

We started writing just our family and were well over 150. Any davice?

We budgeted $13k, went high on the food costs because we haven't yet decided to go with a caterer or restaurant. Hoping to actually end up somewhere closer to $10k for 75 guests, all in.

Our budget was $5,000 for food, venue, DJ, and flowers. So far we are under budget! I was stressing at first because most venues are $3,000 but we surprisingly found a beautiful venue for $800! We are doing a taco bar for 200 people that cost us about $700 for 3 tacos per person by an authentic Mexican Restaurant. Then for flowers, I'm doing fake bouquets that I bought from Hobby Lobby that are gorgeous! Cost me about $30 for 4 bouquets and DJ was $450 for 5 hours. Overall, I am very impressed with how well we budgeted and booked everything. Takes a lot of pressure off knowing we didn't need to spend a butt load of money for a good wedding!

Haha after reading yours, I feel better now! In Washington it is also super expensive too! We are hoping to be at or around $29,000 and we are inviting 100 people.

$4,700 for 9 people total, not including honeymoon or rings.

We are budgeting around 12-15k, 100 guests. Premium buffet (3k) and open bar (1k). Our venue lets us bring our own alcohol and just hire a bartender which saves so much money instead of 20 -plus dollars per person just for drinks. So far the venue alone was 5K. We will see how it all plays out.

We budgeted $20k and invited about 95. Final count is 77 (2 are babies, 15 kids, 5 teens). We're closer to $25k now with 2 weeks to the wedding. $30k if we count the rings, engagement photos, and rehearsal dinner.


It's been frustrating to see how many things pop up that we weren't expecting. $1k here, $500 there adds up QUICK!!

While my guest list is not finalized, my wedding will probably be costing between 40-50K, we’re getting married right outside of Boston, MA.
