We decided to go backwards last night, my parents and me, and rather than looking at the cost of locations and food, see what else we needed to pay for so....
Honeymoon - We've allocated £2000
Dress - £700
Bridesmaids - £200 x 2
Pageboys - £60 for two - will look at hiring mini suits
Suits for the guys - £350 x 7 for Steve, Nick, Richard, Paul, Dad, Chris & Ed
Flowers - £400 for 9 buttonholes, 1 posy for me, 2 wrist corsages for S & A and some blooms for Church which will come to the reception with us. Then lots of free foliage for the marquee decoration.
Car - £300
Wine - Not sure yet, depends on corkage, and Dad wants to buy a barrel of bitter! Try saying that after a few pints!
Stuff we're doing ourselves which aren't massive savours, but hey, pennies make pounds -
Photography
Videography
Favours
Cakes
Stationary - Invites, RSVP cards, Menus, Order of Services, Place Names, Thank you cards.
So it does leave enough for £5000 for Littywood, and then about £4000 for food. Hmmm. Such big numbers, swimming in front of my eyes!
