No what?

Where did I go wrong?
I put in 5k for the party with friends. Then 10k for all the goddamn bags and shoes you can handle.

I think I was pretty reasonable.
5K isn't enough...trust me....unless you're serving cookies and juice. And I'd rather have a memorable night with my groom and family and friends than bags and shoes wtf lol it's not just about me.

I honestly don't think you could find any women that would contribute to her ring! Pride wouldn't let her do it and plus what would her girls say? You know women like to brag like that.

Sorry. 10k for a party.

I didn't realize every woman wants their events held at the Waldorf.

I do this for a living! Photographer will be around $800, give or take...venue with food, staff, rentals....$50 per person approximately, and that's for nothing too fancy....dress, cake, giveaways, and open bar (cause cash bar is tacky!!) - so let's say $15 per person for alcohol (at minimum)....do the math!

Gah. I should have known better. Yeah the photographer costs a lot. Good point.

Let's say 1k for the photographer
$100-150 a plate....maybe 50-60 people...err..9k
Alcohol...maybe 2-4K
Renting the banquet hall...no idea cost of that.

shyt, I'm betting between that shyt, limo...20k-sh for a small wedding/party

fukk me. I'm about to start selling these rocks.

Personally, I don't drink...but yah, you should offer a bar for your guests...if not an open bar, then a responsible bar (where 2 drinks are complimentary for example, and if they want more, they pay for it)...I would just do open bar though...

Good luck.
That's cool that you feel like you're close.
