Nice write up but it is NOT complete. How about the Trad? or was that one free? From experience, 900k - 1M should cover both especially if you can do both on the same day.

That means 500k wont even be enuf for my own
Cos I go pay mc. My guest will take appetizer first before main dish
With so many unique things I really want to do that day.
Chei!
I dey pity him in cooladvance

And this is just white wedding o

You pity him? So you will not be taking up some of the expenses?
And you don't have to invite a lot of people to your wedding. Just close friends and family. Our people just like to be flamboyant. This trait is one of the drivers of corruption among us. I wish we can learn simplicity and humility of the western world.

Here is one fact, people who hold owanbe parties are mentally ill, period!

There should be two stages to a marriage irrespective of your financial and human resources. Your parlour introduction and the wedding itselfundecided.


Wedding is an intimate event, it should be a friends and family only event. The age when it was all about the society has long past. If we can damn the society on other issues, why should it be different for a wedding undecided

As for me I would rather cook and give out to the homeless the day after the wedding than waste my resources on impressing some strangers.

I am not altruistic but some things scream common sense.
That's how a real woman should be talking and not these ones that would want you to spend your entire fortune trying to impress a people that doesn't add any value to your life.
In my place they've reduced marriage bride price and everything to 250,000 naira unless for those that willingly allow themselves to be scammed in the name of marriage. grin

As for white wedding ,na gun that girl go use drag me enter church. cheesy

I think 500,000 for a wedding is reasonable but if I totally do not agree with the poster's budget allocation.

Nowadays, couples are becoming wiser with their spending. And if anyone should meet me for wedding planning, I give the following advice.

1. Get married on a week day. That way you will be able to cut down your guest list.

2. Church weddings can be done in the pastor's office. Find out more from your church.

3. Do not print more than 100 wedding invitation cards. Thanks to the internet age, you can get various media to invite your guests.


SO, let me analyse OP's budget:

WEDDING DRESS AND BRIDAL ACCESSORIES- N15,000.

This is a fair price. But I'd advised my client to spend more on this dress, however choosing a Nigerian designer and making a gown she can wear after the wedding.


Wedding Dress and Accessories -N25,000

WEDDING SHOES- she wore a silver shoe she already had. (She didn't change into a reception dress)

I have found out that most brides actually change from their wedding shoes to more comfortable ones during the wedding ceremony. Most new shoes are very uncomfortable as they have not been "broken". My advice, wear a shoe you will be comfortable in.

Wedding Shoes = N7,000


WEDDING RINGS (bride and groom)- N6,500. (You can always buy more expensive rings after the wedding when you have more money)

I agree with the poster, do not intend breaking the bank for wedding rings.

Wedding RIngs =N10,000

the ring got my attention, what kind of ring is 10k, the cheapest gold rings is about 30k

N32k for ushers?

For those who attend Church services; all you need is - provide food, food, food and food - and your wedding is settled.

Ushering - free
Venue - free (some Churches in Lagos now demand CASH)
Music - Choir (free)
Decoration, Coordination, MC - free

You're basically paying nothing to the Church; in fact, your guests would end up paying the Church via Offering, etc.

it's about choice and what one can afford, to call them mentally ill for choosing to hold a big reception is madness on your part, for God sakes not everyone reasons the same way, there is absolutely nothing wrong in me wanting all my friends to witness by D day, my hubby would want same, our parents would want their friends to witness the day, our siblings would also want their friends to be there, then relatives, co workers, etc, at the end of the day, there is a relationship between the celebrants and guests. If you cannot afford to host them all, then that should be a different case, not saying someone who can afford to conveniently host 1000 or more guests as mentally ill, rubbish.

Tell an igbo man that your price for ushers whether he won't twist your mouth especially if his brothers and sisters children are all grown up..the trend now is holding both trad and white wedding on same day that is after church then its straight to the lady's place to hold both reception/trad...have attended about 3 like that and they happily accomodated both husby's and wifey's people there and then some friends in their town home after every every and could swear such weddings would cost less....oh and wherever she is she should know that the finances for our wedding day will come from "BOTH" of us yes o times are changing 70/30 things that's why guys shouldn't marry ladies who don't have jobs

[size=15pt]Am i lying?

Even some cheap halls are half of that money(500k) now talk of decorations, foods, drinks and cake.

I'm not saying (500k) isn't enough, its very much ok, but nowadays, the husband need to consult a good and competent economist to spend the money well for him because of some greedy wife family not to lavish his hard labor to get the money. [/size]

Lol there is money in dis country? So how much do u hav in ur personal savings account? Some ladies penchant for flamboyant weddin is unprecedented!
Saddly ''the deification of money has ascended a dangerous crescendo where human spare parts, diabolical rivalry, spiritual poisoning, family feud, voodooistic proclivities and cultic magic have become the major ritualistic paraphernalia and in their wake leaving many people mad, dead, poor, deformed and some as mobile corpses''.
Sincerely speakin, we are having a distant relationship with the truth in this country. We have developed that rare ability to be hypocritical and not so much as give a damn whether we are equally guilty of the things we are blaming on others.
I'm glad u r Nigerian, a graduate like me, wit a job and independent so let's be realistic!
Economic records are not kept simply to assist the weakness of memory, but to operate as guides to the future.
Do u bliv any reasonable man wit plans for d future in such economic unstable times will do ur biddin and finance ur weddin fantacies to the fullest with no financial commitment from u? All because u agreed to marry him? Well, good for u! But dnt forget wat they say ''Trust is the first mobility to dissappointment'' cheers.

Let's be realistic. 50k for wedding ceremony? How many of ur friends will come? Will it hold in ur house? Won't people eat or drink? Except u re organising a wedding get together. Maybe a court marriage and a little party for family n friends in ur wife's parents compound.

The guy that use 500k for his wedding really did well. An average wedding in ph, cost wey more than that. Cos u will rent a hall for 120k to 150k. When u subtract 120 from 500k, what is left?

So u want to hav d best wedding in d counry abi? D kind ur frnds would live to remember. Jus know that the more you spend on your wedding, the more likely you’ll end up divorced.
the financial burden incurred by lavish, expensive weddings leads to financial stress for the couple, which ultimately tears the marriage apart. They found that women, in particular, are vulnerable to divorce after expensive marriages: women in couples who spent more on their wedding are more likely to end up divorced than their counterparts who spent less than half that.
So don't think of spending millions in your wedding just because u want to belong, except d man is extremely rich and he wanna show off.
And I believe that u would marry for love and not for wealth.
