Sweetie, it depends on you. I am equally on it now. One thing i found out is that you can never figure out how much u will spend, but you can give a range. However, mind you, you arent doing it to please anybody. You have to cut your coat according to your cloth (not size). You will really cut cost, if u do the engagement and the wedn the same day, thats if its possible. But where its not possible like in my case, its indeed additional cost and separate cost on its own. For the two budget about 400k - 500k to have a moderate ceremony. Mind you, for some pple 500k will only for the wedn gown!! So u have to plan according to ur pocket so dat u dont drink gari afterwards. You can actually have a wedn with 100 - 200k, it all depends on what u want. Good Luck!! |

First of all decide upon what kind of wedding you want. A big one (300 guests) or close friends and family? Then, when you have a general idea of what you are looking for, check with a wedding planner agency. They will give you the approximate costs as they are professionals and from all that you substract their comission. I couldn't give you a relevant sum cuz I'm planning 2 ceremonies as my fiance and I are not from the same countries. |

Ronke 2811: There is quite a long list so you'd need about a week (at least) to put it together because you always remember other details that you have to be taken care of. |

@White nke Nigerians dont normally do a close friend or family wedding. Its always approximately 200 - 300 persons. And its very few of us that engage Wedding Planning Agency or whatever u called them. U are not in Nigeria (and may not be a nigerian) so I understand Ronke better, I am in Lagos and shes in Lagos too, i think we shall be thinking alike. However, thanks for your contribution in this forum. |

MyPeace: That's not only for nigerians, but everywhere. Yet, if you don't have money, but still wish to marry, you'll resume urself to a smaller wedding. I didn't say 50 people, but maybe 200 instead of 300. It's each couple's choice. Then again, please read more carefully before replying. I did not say she should hire an agency, but just ask them for an evaluation and an offer so she'd get an idea (with a lot less effort, as someone else is doing the job for her) about how much she needs to spend, but then do all the arrangements by herself. And so what if she lives in Lagos? Can't she get more than one opinion so she'd have more choices? Don't tell me you'll do/you did your wedding in a specific way (and I am not talking about tradition/rituals here!!) just cuz everybody does it! Please, you have to get rid of this 'heard spirit'! For God's sake, that's why you've been given reason, to judge for yourself, not do as your neighbor. |

Re: How Much Can You Spend On Your Wedding Day by whiteNkem(f): 8:45pm On Mar 13, 2007 |
diyobdw: Right. It's better to use that money on your honeymoon if you really want to be spoiled. |
