I recently started working with a coordinator, and she is having my fiance and I cut down out guest list. She indicated that when total cost is considered (from the venue, to cake, food, dress, flowers, everything) the average cost per guest is $250 - $350. This number seems really high to me.
My parents have scrimped and saved to get give me $20,000, which we thought was going to be pleanty to have a fairly nice event, with 120-160 people. However, she is telling that with my budget, I can only have 80 GUESTS!
Does that sound right to everyone? I have not yet her the final contract, and I'm wondering if I should get a second opinion.
