Why bother? Just have a nice quiet wedding (you and wife alone) and invest the 450k (USD?) in some future plan that will benefit your new family. What use is an elaborate wedding if the couple end up suffering from financial trouble? Many couples use their weddings as a means for unnecessary show-off and 'levels' stipulation. What is important is the vows you exchange, and God does not charge you a cent for it. Be wise. If you don't have dough to burn, keep it low-key. The whole wedding will be forgotten in a few days anyway! |

Typewriter: I absolutely agree with the above. So I still ask, "WHY BOTHER?" If you are a Catholic, just go to morning mass and get married after the mass. Then take your wife out for a nice lunch/dinner. Better still, just do your court marriage (Las Vegas?) and get it iver with. No need to burn all that dough (whether NAIRA, USD, POUNDS, etc) then suffer to build a family through financial trouble. My wedding only cost $68.99 (Price for a romantic dinner for two at Red Lobsters). Now, I live a very comfy life with my hubby. LOL!!!!!!!!!!! |

Are things really that hard in Nigeria that 450k isnt enough for a wedding? I'd think that's a nice sum of money to spend on a wedding. |

Re: Can One Plan A White Wedding With 450k? by Nobody: 2:13am On May 08, 2009 |
450k will be enough for a Moderate wedding, Perfect Lot of couples had done it with less than 450k and successful. So far its not a LAU LAU WEDDDING! 450,000 Naira!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is OKAY!!! Cut according to your cloth! |

450K for a white wedding (NGN or USD). I am sure it is NGN. Bros, you never ready. Better do traditional introduction that won't cost you more than 200K and carry on with your lives. 450k naaaah!!! One advise for you, same thing a friend once told me, "Your wedding can never be the worst on record neither can it be the best" - so do what you can only afford. Ciao! 1 Like 1 Share |

@goodson Yes it is very possible to have a befitting but small wedding with you budget. This has always been one problem I have with our system. Why should I invite the entire universe to come and witness my wedding? Its not compulsory. With your 150 guest expectations, make it a strictly on invitation event. Food and drinks is where most of the expenditures go to. Breakdown: 2 bags of rice @ N14,000 will serve the 150 guests. Drop extra N75k for ingredients & the take away pack to package the food. For drinks buy the following: 5 cartons of non-alcoholic wine = N25,000 (60 bottles). 5 cartons of canned minerals (assorted) = N10,000 (120) bottles. 5 cartons of amstel malta = N12,500 (120 bottles). 5 cartons of Heineken = N15,000 (120 bottles) 10 cartons of 75cl bottled water = N10,000 (240 bottles) You are done with drinks. Anybody that offer more should go to a joint after the wedding. For your suit, go for mass produced italian suits = N25k, shoe = N5k, shirt = N3k. For your wife, rent wedding dress N20k, her shoe = N3,500, accessories = N10k. Her friends should help her for her make-up. For venue, use the church hall, if they dont have, use a school field hire canopy & chairs. Put away N70k for that. DJ = N30k, Photographer = N30k. Your wedding and engagement ring set = N35k. Wedding cake and decorations = N40k Total expensis = N432,500. Done deal! Your wedding has come and gone within ur budget without breaking the bank. You'll have abt N15k extra for miscellinous expensis . HAPPY MARRIED LIFE IN ADVANCE. Nb: Chances are friends & families might throw in financial assistance. If that happens, you can use it to up your game a little. Like paying for your best man's suit & ur wife's bride's maids dress. |

@poster dont let some ppl deceive U, there is no way U can spend just #450k on a white wedding in Nigeria of 2day, miscellaneous expenses alone will amount 2 about 300K. Unless U r planning 2 wed in d village! @all kindly answer this question truthfully: Married: how much did U spend on ur wedding and what year? Unmarried: How much will U wish 2 spend on ur wedding? |

Bros, you never ready. Better do traditional introduction that won't cost you more than 200K and carry on with your lives. 450k naaaah!!! good talk. lets not deceive ourselves, 450k will get you nowhere with 150 guests. i spent over 250k last year for a wedding of less than 50 people and my house was the reception venue. |
Re: Can One Plan A White Wedding With 450k? by abhosts(m): 10:25am On May 08, 2009 |
We make so much fuss about wedding ceremonies in Nigeria. Ironically, the cost of a wedding does not in any way determine it's success. |
Re: Can One Plan A White Wedding With 450k? by webprince(m): 10:25am On May 08, 2009 |
@poster this is an average breakdown of a wedding budget in Lagos of 2day Suit - 40k Gown - 50k (rentage 15k) shoe - 10k Hall/Field - 70k Wedding Cake - 50k Wedding ring - 30k chairs (20 dozens) - 6k tables (15 small ones) - 4k cow - 90k food (for 200) - 80k drinks & water - 40k liquor (moderate) - 20k IV (average for 200) - 40k photographer - 25k video coverage - 25k decoration - 20k + enough miscellaneous expenditure This alone is in excess of 600k and is not a standard wedding yet. My advice, let ur bride's father/family knows ur financial capability as they are the host and not U, U might be planning a low key wedding and they have invited a thousand and one guest already. So, have a round table talk and 'iron' things out. My father-in-law was financially supportive during my wedding to d tune of 2mill, but I still spend in excess of 1.4mill, A word is enough 4 d wise! |

why not?cut your coat according to your cloth.theres no point hosting an elaborate wedding only for you to go aborrowing after.Remember,wedding is just for one day but MARRIAGE is for life.people will come,eat and clean mouth and leave you in bebts.Do your reception in the church hall where shacks will not be served. 1 Like |

pek:true talk! abhosts:Its true dat wedding cost does not in any way determines the success of the marriage. But y must we always paint our culture or practice bad every time. Nobody is forced to take up loan for wedding! Can U please ask an Indian lady d cost of a wedding in India and compare that 2 what we spend here in 9ja! |
