We have a temporary budget of 13k (that's the max that we can afford to spend). We are still in the very early stages of planning so I am just working with averages and estimating on the high side! This will Include everything...dress, travel, gifts, décor, documentation, wedding, reception, photographer, EVERYTHING! and it is tight! Our budget will be hugely affected by the number of people to actually book. The wedding package cost is really low, but it's the extras that can break the budget. our wedding package only includes 8 people..every person after that is 20pp...boo They say that 1/3 of the people you invite will actually go, so we thought a safe number to invite would be approx 150....50 people going would be ideal and we could lower our budget or upgrade some of our options, but we could accommodate 100 and not break our max budget, but we would have to do with out some extras. I assume the brides who are lucky enough to have 2-3k weddings are having really small guest lists, or are not including everything in their budget, or had their wedding 5-6 years ago when the package/travel prices were much more reasonable and all inclusive. If not, I would love to know how they did it!

April 1st 2015 (hopefully! Waiting on Resort) Grand Palladium Punta Cana. It's is where we had our first Vacation together 7 years ago. We also Started dating on April 1st and got engaged on April 1st. Anyone else getting Married in Punta Cana in April 2015?
