I have 175 invites to my wedding, how much does the average wedding cost in total? im not interested in those people who spent $100 and eloped or just went cheap as heck haha, i know your out there! im talking about a classy nice, not over the top, average wedding. thanks

My wedding is costing my fiance’ and I $21,000. We are having a Saturday wedding (Oct 17 of this year) It’s about $18 a plate for a buffet and we have 350 guests, photographer is about $1600. Our cake and a sheet cake to go with it was $735, my dress was $700, the tux was free with the groomsman’s tuxes, the bridesmaids dresses were $160 but they paid for them, I got all my bridesmaids gifts which I spent about $500 (I have 5 bridesmaids) and same with the groomsmen, the rehearsal dinner will cost us about $3000, my hair and makeup will be about $300, jewelry is about $100, I got silk flowers because our wedding is sweetest day and that cost us $300, the DJ is $500, ceremony at a church is $400, centerpieces are about $300, other decor $500, Limo is $800 for 3 hours, also there is the bar tab at the reception, honeymoon, and I’m sure there is a few other things that I’ve forgotten that we’re paying for. It will be nice that you have extra money to spend, just don’t blow all of it! Also depends on where you live, the cost of everything is different everywhere! Hope I helped you a little bit!!
