Hmm Are you guys buying second hand shoe or Wat

Or Aba made shoe .

Paruz1015:
Hmm
Are you guys buying second hand shoe or Wat

My thoughts Exactly, when can hardly see a good 4k shoes.

Negotiate:
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?

Somebody that put 70k for food, u are advising her to buy ring of 40k, nawaoh

Wow, @op, your man has totally hit a jackpot getting someone like you to spend the rest of his life with. Utterly lucky dude. I pray he reciprocates by worshipping the ground you walk on forever.
Dear, your likes are an endangered species.

This thread just made my day.

God bless your home , op

You are wise .
Keep it up!

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

My dear, 250k is very enough. When hubby and I got married 2yrs ago, he was a starter who just came to Lagos newly and had barely worked for two years when w decided to marry to avoid..... Compromise. We went home, paid the bride price, came back to Lagos, went to court to seal it and went to church for church blessing, that was all, no ceremony. He was living in a one room apartment. We moved into a two bedroom flat 7months later. Today we are happy and God is blessing is more each day.
I encourage u to continue supporting your man, wedding is a one day thing, marriage is till death do u part.

OrestesDante:

sorry

You can't get a suit for sale less than 15k unless you wanna give a tailor to sew coat for you and wedding gown too 5k rent? Unless u wanna wear all this deeper life satin gown. As for the food won't u pay the caterer? Or your siblings will do the cooking? Will comment when I think of something else.

@OP not compulsory to buy gold for wedding now there are nice sterling silver rings now complete wedding band of about 8-10k it's just for the pastor to bless later u get a more expensive ring eg gold that is what newly wedded couples do now.

shelter4luving:
no. A friend will handle that. Just that I know what it takes.

where is your location let me see if I can help you out with some things eg my tiara and wedding earring I got for a high price is now useless after the wedding. Even the silicone bra used for wedding gowns I got for 2,000 sold for 3k in some places is @home I'm serious not kidding

Thanks @all. I will will take note of on all your suggestions. Thanks so much

lol @coat. Coat for where? That got me really laughing.

OK dear I wish you a successful marriage will add more suggestion when I think of any.

Dear Op,

Pls what's your size? Let me know if I can send you my gown so you won't bother spending money on renting.

Also, how many people do you intend inviting? With the food budget, i rather have a small number of guests to have a cozy quality wedding

God bless your home and cause you to smile everyday.

You truly are an inspiration

Op,you are wise. Its better to invest more in the marriage than the wedding. I appreciate your simplicity. However,I think you should cut down on the cost of decoration,the money you budgeted for your wedding gown/suit may not be sufficient,you mentioned getting better rings later,hence your resolve to buy a 2k ring...I think its not a wise move- invest in a durable ring now so you dont have to buy another later. You can channel the extra cash saved from decoration to getting better wedding rings. I wish you all the best. You marriage shall withstand the test of time,the blessings and breakthroughs associated with being married shall be made manifest in your lives,you shall raise godly children that will make you proud...Amen!

Emmaesty:
You want to bake your cake yourself and do your makeup? Isn't that stressful

honestly it will be stressful

70k won't be enough if you're inviting 150 people. Foodstuff is VERY expensive, as you know.

If you're in Lagos you can go to Mile 12 to buy the ingredients. It's cheaper there.

D budget on photograph is too much 28k reduce it to 15k, buy memory card n give d photographer n u can wash d pic at a later date at ur pace.

Must u buy new shoes use d one u already ve

No budget for best man suit n chief brides maid wear?

Invest in good MC n DJ say 15k each, they can make d difference.

D wedding ring at 2k is OK nobody will even notice

Use ur camera phone to take d pre wedding pic dnt spend on dt except it matters to u.

Food is expensive nw ooo 70k will nt do ooo make it 100k, u will ve at least 150 to 200 guests invited n uninvited

shelter4luving:
yes a friend will handle that
