My Wedding Plan Of 250k by shelter4luving(f): 6:15pm On Apr 30, 2017 |
Happy sunday lovely people. Pls your suggestions/ advice is welcome here. Am getting married. The days of heart break and all that are over. It's time to smile, love and trust again. He's been my best friend for a long time. We shared all our secrets with each other. He finally asked me to marry him and I said yes. Our budget for white wedding is 250k. We want a small wedding besides things are difficult now and he's not financially buoyant now , but I love him like that. These is the list I came up with : 1. Wedding gown & groom suit -- 15k I will rent my gown 2. Shoes (bride & groom) - 5k 3. Wedding ring - 2k We'll buy more better one later 4. Bridal hair/make up - 3k I don't need a make up artists. Most people already know I look more beautiful without too much painting. 5. Cake (2 tiers of cake) 15k I know how to bake so na weh weh. Noone can cheat me on that. 6. Reception venue (church premises) tables, canopies, decoration - 25k 7. Photograph (coverage, one photo book, pre wedding) 28k. We are taking 5 pics for pre wedding in a very standard studio. That will be #500 multiply by 5 8. MC. We'll look for a friend maybe from youth department in church. - 5k 9. Souvenirs - 20k. 10. Food(fried rice, jollof rice, semo, fish) 70k 11. Drinks (soft drinks and 15 bags of sachet water? 25k. I think everything above is 200k already. These are the things I can remember. Pls any suggestions or advice? If your suggestions will reduce my above budget, pls its very welcome Any wedding planner in the House? Pls help me adjust my list above. Thanks 14 Likes |

15k may not be enough for gown and suit. Let's put that at 20. If you can, please get good rings. Get gold. It's going to be one of the main things because it stays on after everything has ended. 30 - 40k should do, and you won't bother again. Buy from abokis. It's cheap. Your decoration seems high. If you're using your church, just appreciate the welfare unit with a crate of malt and 5k in an envelope. Budget #150/person for souvenir. Buy in bulk. What about plates for serving? Are you renting extra seats? 5 Likes |

Dearest bridey... It is well. May God keep the day rain free. Hmmm...well done. I think you calculated well but you didnt quite focus well enough. The shoe part. Why don't you let your groom wear one of his fine old shoes while you use the budgeted amount for your shoes? 5k can't buy the two of you anything decent biko. The Pre-wedding picture could be scrapped. Just add that 2.5k to your groom's suit budget. You don't want him looking like a love-vendor in a coat, do you? Just get a friend to take free style pics of you two in a nice location( could be a nice estate garden or on their quiet street sef) I think you could still look glam with the hair and make up budget if you are using yours or a friends products. I would gladly borrow you my makeup if we were same colour ( just buy your brush and puff ni ![]() Overall, you will be fine. Just re-draw your budget with more focus on you and your bobo looking beautiful on that day. This is because, the food, venue or even souvenirs will be forgotten within the next month but your pictures(look) will stay with you forever. Try to look good. Spend buck of the money on you and your dude's looks. You could control the crowd to the barest minimum. The last wedding I helped planned was budgeted on 2.5 -3m and the bride was a knockout. She looked like a million dollar. No one knew that though her hair took like a 100k but her pair of earrings were only 250naira. Yes, carry yourself gracefully but don't lose class. May God bless your marriage. 14 Likes |

It is well. I can tell you that you will soon smile. Don't be pushed by anyone. Don't listen to anyone except your man. A little about my wedding - I borrowed my brother's suit, wore my old clean shoe, only the shirt and hand gloves were new. 700 naira rings for both of us. Only my woman wore new gown. We drove in our neighbour's old Peugeot 504. The car stopped and we have to come down to push and we were mocked by neighbours. Today, I say thank you Lord for where we are now. 42 Likes 2 Shares |
