Our budget is 20,000-25,000 but I think its more than generous. Were still debating where to get marry. I dont mind Houston but he wants to go to Cape Cod w/ about 50 of our close friends and family. My splurge getting married in Cape Cod!!!

    Right now we figured $30k for 150people. Our venue will be half the budget because they take care of food and open bar as well. We'll see how it goes once we actually get into it

    Our budget is $21k for between 120-150 people. Definitely, the reception is our biggest splurge. The catering is our biggest cost by far, then photographer (also a splurge) then DJ.

    Well our budget is 5,000, for 200 guests and I refuse to go over it, especially with all the great DIY ideas I read about and ways to save. I am making everything I can myself. I think the biggest splurge will have to be the photography and video, and getting married in a church is like $500 so a lot of money is going there. Another thing will be food and my dress, which I dont count in my budget because THANK GOD FOR MY PARENTS, they are paying for that.

    Our budget is $10,000, but I know by the end up being at about 13 or 14 by the time we're done. Our splurge is food. You gotta have good food to keep guests happy.

    Our budget is $23K for 100 guests but so lucky my Dad will be paying for our largest single cost, which is the venue, so our $23K goes towards the rest. Biggest splurges are the honeymoon ($4k for Thailand) and the photographer ($2500)
