there is no such thing as a "normal" wedding that the woman will never forget....
:lol:

1) Do a super low budget wedding and I'm sure she'll never forget that! (even when you're dead na :lol::lol: )
2) Do a high budget wedding and I'm sure she'll never forget that!

Eto matino kong sagot:

3) Do a unique wedding - I'm sure she'll neve forget that! What are unique weddings?
That depends on your trip or your would-be-wife trip....

definitely wala pang nag bungee-jump-wedding or hara-kiri-wedding (joke lang).

I'd say prepare your lifetime savings and that would be just sufficient.

(BTW my wedding was just below P15K budget - believe it or not)

every wedding is unforgetable kahit na low or high budget. mag expand yang budget mo pagdating sa huli kaya dont worry makahanap ka ng paraan kung sakaling ma short. ako kasi nung sinakal este kinasal last '96 mga more or less 100k ang savings ko along the preparations meron dyan sasagot sa ibang gastusin mo. peace

no such thing as a "normal" wedding budget... to know how much it would cost, best to go to some of the wedding expos that happen in malls and other locations.

some ideas:
a restaurant to serve as your wedding reception would cost at least P10,000 per table of 12. That's for Gloria Mariz. And there is a minimum number of tables.

church reservations would be best done a YEAR ahead, especially for those more wanted venues like Manila Cathdral, San Agustine, etc. You also have to check the prices if you are going to have the aircon or not. Also some churches will not let you get married there unless you are a regular partron of that church (or you are connected to some powerful personality in politics or business). Pricing here is the least of your problems.

gretzy,
Give me a ballpark of how much we are talking about here. around 75 guests, sit down dinner and on 5 star hotel. We got married in a simple church wedding here. No elaborate reception. For $80 a plate, I don't think it worth to have a reception here. We decided to put the $$ down on a house. W played it safe.

So maybe sa Pinas na lang ang budget namin. We already have our flower, our daughter.

5 star hotel P700+/pax, 20.000 for the ballroom, 40,000 if garden reception

the hotel reception would cost around P18K up per table of 10. That usually includes flowers, room, etc... usually minimum is ten tables. Drinks are NOT included... also include 10% VAT to that price.
