Have you gone over budget?

Ha ha ha. Me too. We went over budget. So, so over budget.

I think we are going to go over a little, but there are so many hidden costs and all the little things add up. Wanted to stay at 5K which is super budget I know, and we are probably closer to 7K

Innocent. We never really set a budget but I think we’ve definitely saved some money!

Innocent so far. We planned to not go over 5k and we are under quite a bit at this time.

Guilty my original budget got thrown out the window almost immediately after finding out how much everything cost. So we set a new budget and we are still on track.

Not yet . Going to try not to .. but I can’t promise anything

Innocent so far! We were gifted $9000 but mom and dad to pay for the wedding and we are actually slightly under at the moment!

Surprisingly innocent! I definitely thought we would go over our goal of $5k but with my parent’s help it looks like we will be right at $5k (plus their $2,300).

From my estimate, we are already over budget. I don't know if it will be any different after all payments are made.

We don't have a budget per se, I'm just trying to find the best vendors for the most reasonable amount, and keep it a little spread out for ease of paying. But I will say that our wedding will be well beyond what our friends have spent on theirs. I'd also rather spend more money on photog, videographer and DJ over things like the flowers and centerpieces.

Guilty.

I know my wedding day will be amazing and I can't wait but looking back, I wish we would have spent that money on a trip of a lifetime and found a small city in Europe to elope to. For what we have currently spent, we'd be flying first class and sipping on champagne the whole time

Guilty, we doubled our initial budget when we realized we were being unrealistic

Guilty - Didn’t really go over one but know we want to stay under 10K.

My FH and I don't really have a budget either. We do talk about everything and try to keep our costs of things low. In the coming weeks I am planning on doing a lot of DIY.

Innocent only cause we really dont have one I just found what I think we can afford and my FH is cool with it

Guilty!
5k

Does it count if you keep raising the budget? 🤣

I'm trying so hard not to but I think the Photographer is going to be a bit more than I wanted

Guilty. Out budget was $10,000, now we're at $14,500...oops

Guilty. By my fiancé’s estimation of 12k, we’re now way over with our actual spending just over 15k - but that was my budget and what I’ve been working with since the start being the more realistic planner. So by my budget not bad, destination wedding with flights and hotels coming in a few hundred over 15k.
