How much is your wedding budget? Part 7

[LilaFowler]

Yes maluwag ang budget talaga pero that's the max that we would spend. No further increases after that. Pero I dont think may increase pa kasi I checked my payables against the money in the wedding account, may sobra pa.

kdramaholic Amen! 

exquisitegem true, tayo ang nagadjust haha, ako din from 150 mukang mag 200 pax na din.

LilaFowler sa airfare and acommodation nga pala halos napunta big chunk of the budget. 700k for 50 medyo maluwag yang budget na yan.

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

LilaFowler good to know.

[LilaFowler]

^ sis, just curious, are you overseas? Included na sa 700k budget yung airfares ? Honeymoon?

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

^^ yes, we are both based abroad, pero free airfare namin, provided ng companies, since our wedding will be held during our annual vacation. Honeymoon not yet included, since there is a possibility na ipostpone namin.

[LilaFowler]

You are lucky. Kasi malaking portion din ng budget ang airfare, malaki din natipid nyo.

[nhie]

LilaFowler, thanks sis..Batangas province kami ikakasal, [textspeak!] sa HMU naman i have a friend na magaling magmake up and syana [textspeak!] kukunin ko also for my entourage din. then for my wedding gown im looking for a second hand na magugustuhan ko pero other option is go to divi paka makatipid sa gown..

[ANJFinally]

When we started ang wedding preps last 2015, we just alloted 200K-250K max, but we ended up 285K and we're very happy kasi all in na sya wedding day itself.

We had everything we wanted, an intimate Caleruega wedding. Kahit may sablay, at the end of the day yung mga main prayers namin for our wedding were answered by God.

I hope you can share your suppliers. Hirap na magbudget for wedding. Matataas na rate nila.

^Metro Manila wedding ka lang ba sis? Or OOT?

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

Kamusta na ang budgeting natin dyan, girls? as for me, medyo fail.

kala ko ang galing ko na mag budget eh. pero parang yata habang lumalapit ng lumalapit ang wedding mas dumadami ang extra wants (and gastos of course). plus the fact na ang dami ko palang expenses na hindi naisama sa unang budgeting na ginawa ko like the bridal robe, accommodation, tips, photowall, etc. nakakahilo 

[lots-o]

madami din kami extra cost na hindi naanticipate . everytime open mo yung excel sheet mo shocks! ayaw ko na tignan! Pero once in a lifetime lang naman kaya itodo na planning.

 

[Tincywincy]

oo nga sis lots-o, I feel you! hahaha

if I may ask sis, ano yung mga unexpected expenses nyo? baka kasi meron padin ako na hindi pa narrealize na kelangan pala. hopefully wala na, pero tip na din sa other brides 

[tomatostellar]

Sana hindi lumampas ng P220k!
Cavite area naman, I think madaming option for budget-friendly suppliers. Meron din mga All In packages. Pero gusto ko sana maayos na P/V.

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

Tincywincy & lots-o ganon na nga, andaming surprises sa gastos hehe, and as we go on with our preparations, andaming nadidiscover na dagdag gastos, minsan kasi when Suppliers lay out their rates, basic lang naman pinepresent, plus yung maliliit na di natin anticipated, pag naipon, laki ng hatak.

Pero no contest, minsan lang 'to, itodo na natin, as long as kaya pa naman ng pockets. 

[lots-o]

hindi ko pa nakukuha yung final computation from the caterer and stylist, sis rory ilan ang headcount mo kay mariah? suppliers meal wala parin ako figure although may estimate nako. Tapos yung mga hair coloring or last minute preparation, mga meals sa hotel with the preps wala parin ako.

[smdagnes]

oo nga sis lots-o, I feel you! hahaha

if I may ask sis, ano yung mga unexpected expenses nyo? baka kasi meron padin ako na hindi pa narrealize na kelangan pala. hopefully wala na, pero tip na din sa other brides 

alot a certain amount to give to your coordinator on the day for incidental expenses like food provision sa crew, may sudden na need bilhin na nakalimutan like flowers for the bride along with the groom's gift (mga ganung effect) and other stuff na minsan on the day na lang naaaalala.

i did have an extra amount at the bar/beverage just in case may sumobra sa agreed provision of beverages. say for xx pax lang [textspeak!] provided ng caterer e kung may mahilig sa iced tea at juice or magorder ng beyond what's on the menu 

tpos tips for vendors who have exceeded your expectation?

[Rory_Lorelie_Gilmore]

lots-o B,G 2 Moms and 5 Ento ako kay Mariah, Sis.

smdagnes haha kaka nerbyos sinabi mo, pero thanks, at least we know what to expect na din.

More or less alam naman natin lahat na we will exceed, we just don't want to accept it yet haha!

[dashee]

350k for 100 pax in makati area. so far, within budget kami. plus kasama na sa allocation na rin yung mga "unexpected" expenses so yay! 

[IamKaysee]

kami hopefully 300k lang, kasama na yung unexpected expenses at honeymoon.
