on the total budget roughly? Just curious especially for the married Knotties because they know the totals.

    Oh yeah, tell what state and if it is a full blown wedding or destination. That makes a difference!

    Our wedding will be a little under $2500. That doesn't include our honeymoon though. For us it will be a full blown wedding. However, in my opinion when it comes to weddings many people have different opinions on that. My FI and I are not really party people. We are pretty practical, and budget conscious as we are trying to get out of debt so our day to us is simple but elegant but we still feel we are going out.We are getting married in Missouri so that makes everything easier price wise too thankfully since we are in the midwest where things overall is a little cheaper.

    We are spending approx. 15K-17K (includes wedding rings and honeymoon). We are having a full blown wedding in South Georgia (Thomasville) where you think it would be cheaper... NOT!!! We are inviting approx. 250-270 people.. My caterer is strongly suggesting I stick around 200 people to keep the cost down.

    Full blown California wedding 255 guests on list We are at 13,000 and counting HM not included but the information I saw would suggest about 2800 - 3000 more for that. Our original budget was 10,000 - I knew that was going to be impossible, Fi held out hope till he saw some of my must haves.

    California Wedding - I guess it depends on what full blown means to you - I wanted a garden wedding and a garden cocktial reception party - We didn't want the sit down dinner etc... Our budget is 4k for 65 invited guests - We'll come under that depending on how many rsvps we get. Most of of budget went into home improvement projects for our house, since our reception is there

    wedding budget is 15,000 to 20, 000, let's see how that goes... In New York city that budget seems like a joke for a guest list on 160 to 175pp...
