Wedding Budgets

[Lisa35]

We have budgeted 20k for our wedding. We are paying for our flight and accommodations as well as my FI parents, my mom and our photographer. We are receiving 4 frees since we have 60+guests. My FI and I are also staying for two weeks. Our guests are only staying for 1 week. We have 11kg each extra luggage. A lot of things that I have noticed with our hotel at least, is everything is over priced. You can get a much better deal buying things here and taking them with you.

It depends on what the 10k budget is inclusive of is it just for the wedding, or does that include your stay as well. My stay was the most expensive part around 6k since we are going for 2 weeks. 

jamaica nicole.  the hotels nickle and dime you

Planning is going good, I also plan on bringing a lot down with me. I completely agree that they nickel and dime you a lot. I hate the vendor fee at $300 it is ridiculous and on top of it you have to pay for a $90 day pass also per vendor. Honestly all that fee is, is a penalty for not using there vendors which is ridiculous since I am bringing there resort a lot of business. So I am trying to cut corners where I can by bringing chair sashes table runners, center pieces, bridesmaid bouquets, etc. 

 

How is your planning going?
