How many of you ladies have a budget of $10000 or less for your wedding?

If you are trying to do it for less then $10,000, how many people are you inviting and how many couples are in your wedding party?

Ours was about $8k or so when it was all said and done. (Not counting rings, and we didn't take a honeymoon.)  We had 150ish people, and 3BM/GM.

The tentative budget I figured out is right around $10,000. That's planning for about 200 people and includes everything but honeymoon. We are thinking of having 3 or 4 BMs/GMs each, not sure about RB or FG yet. Not a lot of planning done yet but that's a general idea!

We had a max budget of 10k, but I think that the wedding ended up being more like 8 including our rings. We had 3 attendants on each side and 2 ushers, and invited about 130 people. I think that something like 105-110 came.

We may be having the smallest wedding ever- our guest list is at 75 people. He doesnt have any family here except for mom, dad, brother, and most of my relatives wont come. We are planning on 3 BM and 3 GM ( 4 of each if we have to ask my bro and sis-in-law), 2 FG's and 1 ring bearer. I guess the only thing we have priced out is the ceremony and reception ( $5500) , so I have no idea how much flowers, chair covers, an officiant,a DJ and photographers/videographers cost, or a cake, or any of the other million things I havn't thought of yet .

That is our max budget.

We are inviting 125 people but we know a lot won't come.  They never want to travel for anything. So we are planning for it to be around 75.

We have 4 BM and 4 GM. 1 ring bearer and no flower girl.

Our goal is $10,000 but if it goes over a little it's not a huge deal. We have 5BM/5GM 1 little groomsman and 1 RB. We are going to invite about 250 but are only expecting 150-175

Ditto PP - That's our max budget.

Right now, it's looking like we're going to be right at that price point.  We have 4 BM & GM, 2 FG, & 2 Ushers.  We invited 200 people, & it's looking like we'll have about 150 or so.  = )

I'm shooting for $5k but since this is both of our 2nd weddings, we aren't going the traditional route for many things. Our first draft on the invite list is around 80. We'll only have 1 attendant on each side.

A friend of a friend will be doing our dinner and we're sticking with the basics - burgers & chicken with pot luck style salads, fruit, etc. We'll be doing pies & apple crisp instead of cake.

Also a good friend of mine will be doing the photography.

Our budget is $8,000 and our reception venue seats 110 total...we are planning on about 75 being in attendance.  

The thing I love best about my venue is that food, beverage, china, linens, etc. are included.  In-house catering (as long as the food is delicious) can save a lot of stress. As of now it seems like we will come up under our budget because the food/beverage minimum at our venue is $3,500 for that room and we are cutting a lot of unnecessary things (DJ, limo, videographer, etc.).  We both thought that a smaller wedding would suit our vision for the day best and are happy with our decisions so far...just be honest about what you want/can afford and I am sure if will be beautiful

We are shooting and still on track for $5000 with 250 guests and 4bms, 4gms, 2ushers and a FG and RB.  Our venue is so reasonable and I am DIYing lots

Our goal is under $5k, so far its looking like we'll be just fine. We aren't having any attendants, though. It'll be a private ceremony and we're taking our parents out to dinner after and doing a "reception" the next day.

We have a $10,000 budget. we're expecting about 260 people. We are only having one person each stand up for us.

EmilyCMN

We did ours for about $12k by the time you factor in all the little things I paid for prior to the wedding... We eneded up with about 110 people with 3 attendants each.

We don't have a set budget yet, but I'm guessing after everything, no rings or hm, that is will be $7,000 about. Probably will have for sure one BM and GM, maybe 2 on each. No RB or FG. Probably 2 ushers. I'm DIYing what I know I can do or get help with, like flowers. I will only have my boquet made at my fav flower shop. The most expensive is the venue, of course, at about $3200. It's the only place we love for a winter wedding.

bethanynic87

We tentatively set our budget at $8000. We are hoping for about 130 guests and probably 4 BM and 4 GM.

Our budget is under $5000 for our wedding.  Doing a lot of it DIY.  We also have many friends and family willing to help us out with their talents for cheap which makes a huge difference! (Family Friend is a DJ, Aunt works in floral, FMIL is making the cake, etc.)  We're having around 150-200 guests (still working on the list) and 5 BM/5GM and FG/RB.
