    Chill out it's sunday - there aren't a whole lot of people around on the weekends.

    Budget for what? A ring? That varies a lot from couple to couple but when H and I were looking our budget was $1500 or less

    You could also google the average cost of a wedding in your specific area

    Budget for what? Spend on what? Rent? Mortgage? Groceries? Wedding? Engagement ring?

    Oh well - the answer is the same for all: Bigger than a breadbox, smaller than a house.

    (As in - all expenses vary depending on personal tastes, cost of living in your area, etc.)

    Everyone will have had a different budget...although I'm still not sure what budget you're talking about (wedding, dress, ring, house, groceries, entertainment...the possibilities are endless). Also, what you get for the money varies regionally. I would suggest you make friends with Google, it should be able to tell you what things in your area cost, and what people typically spend.

    A ring budget? Anywhere between 0 (just skipping the ring or a heirloom ring) and 1,000,000,000,000.

    A hampster budget? 0 (if you get a free one from a friend or something) and $20 at a really cool pet store. Maybe more for an extra special one.

    Or maybe you're looking for Obama's budget? See cnn.

    When you love someone, you can tell. When you're in love with someone, everyone else can tell.

    I've been to weddings where the budget was around $2,000 and I've been to weddings where the budget was $150,000. My budget is somewhere inbetween :)
     
    It just depends on what you and your FI can afford. Never depend on money from anyone else, until the check has cleared.

    It was gorgeous. But, so was the $2,000 wedding. Just gorgeous in different ways. The expensive wedding was in a hotel with passed appetizers, and gorgeous flowers, and the brides dress was amazing. The less expensive wedding was held in someone's backyard, and the flower girls were flowers in their hair, and it was really laid back and everything was elegently understated. So, I think it depends on the bride and grooms taste.

    Dear OP,

    I hope you realize they were poking fun because you posted THREE TIMES when you started this thread asking for people to respond.

    The average American wedding budget is about $28,000. I've seen it quoted anywhere from $20,000-$30,000, but 28 is the most common number given.

    OP, honestly, It is rather tacky to ask that question. One's budget depends entirely on what one can afford at their particular station in life. And as Ember pointed out, a low price tag doesn't preclude a wedding from being wonderful, lovely, and special.

    I don't know, I think if there's one place it's NOT tacky to ask about other folks' wedding budgets, it's on a wedding planning forum.

    My budget was between $10,000-$11,000. Our wedding was fairly simple, but we got everything we wanted (including a day-of coordinator and fabulous food & cake), and had a great time. Several people told me it was elegant but not overdone. I'm happy with that.
