Must you do a noisy wedding? after spending 1.5m on wedding now, what will you and your wife eat after the wedding?

Most people do noisy wedding just to satisfy their families.

90 percent of couple live in struggles durrring the first 2-3 month of their marriage, because they will be busy paying back photographers and other bills they have incured during wedding.

Go for a low key wedding, this is my 1k to you. so you and your wife can live in abundance after the wedding.

This is also my plan too, cos i will be getting married before the middle of this year.
will be following ur model to see hw feasible bro...when are u starting? Make i begin understudy u...heheh

Re: How Much Should An AVERAGE Nigerian Male Budget For Marraige by Onegai(f): 7:03pm On Feb 28, 2015
Have a budget for everything.

Shop around, ask people to suport you by paying for some stuff.

The most important things are your pictures and good music, food and drinks. Everything else is jaara (why do you need a video, most are badly shot and edited, and you will watch it once and that's it.)

If you spend cheaply and expect guests to spray you, you're deceiving yourself. we attended a wedding recently, the poorer groom's side was fed quickly whilst our side was delayed from eating for an hour after all had eaten (all we were given was water). The couple started dancing, expecting to be sprayed by the more comfy bride's side. We sat and removed our faces. The couple started coming to our table to greet us, we greeted them and sat down. Moral of the story: know your important people in the crowd and take care of them. There are people you take care of well, so you reap the benefits.

Brides, stop buying bridal shoes. Get silver shoes you can wear after. And you can borrow a veil, hairpieces and jewelry.

do a nice IV and a cheap programme, as most peole will judge you on your IV and decide whether or not to show up. Remember you want the right caliber of generous guests.

If you plan well, you can get a lot of gifts and cash gifts.

have you really planned a wedding before. if yes then I wonder if its fir a gathering of 50people. food and drinks #150k. lol
This is a budget for 300 people and if you insist i can break it down. However, this thread was created in 2013 so it is obvious that there could be some significant changes.

What kinds of souvenirs would you buy for N20k?
Foods stuffs alone + caterer fees would gulp 150 - 200k, excluding drinks.
That is why you need someone in the field to guide you through. You are free to get more guide from me if you wish....

Probably budgeting vfor 30-40 piple only.

Saying people would eat 3k food at one sitting is irresponsible and reckless spending. People spend less than 500 naira at a mamaput and they eat to satisfaction were making a profit is the aim not to talk of a wedding.

Anyone spending above his budget needs to get his head checked. A wedding is just a day event. the success of the marriage is much more important. You don't want to start your married life with debts and stress.

Budget N500 per guest for feeding. Cut your number of guests. even if you have 500 guests, that's 250k on food and drink. Other things shouldn't exceed another 250k.

I support o. Don't think you will be able to get drinks and food for 150k. A cow alone is worth close to that and except you plan on serving Limca to a low no of guests, like 100, that amount will go nowhere.

Haahaa.. Do people still drink limca ? Dr pepper will be better or gold spot

As an event planner in which i am, the following breakdown shld see u thro in an average nigerian marriage. Tradition marriage plus payment of dowry and sundry expenses will gulp N450k. Note dat most homes do handle everyting in the trado, in such a case consider urself lucky because d expenses on entertaiment will not fall on u. But to be on d safe side budget atleast N450k. For white wedding propper, this is d breakdown, wedding gown N40k to N50k, wedding ring N30k to 50k, cake N30k, drinks n food N150k, reception venue like field is usually cheaper N20 to 30k. Dj N15k, decoration N50k if in an open field, if in a hall N70k. Reception hall N120k, compare dat wit a field. Souvenir N20k note dat u cld be supported by friends wit more souvenir. Mc N10k. Programme N15k. Note dat people will volunteer to assist u in some gray areas which i hav not listed here. If u need more info on dis and hw to help u plan a cashless wedding anywhr in Nigeria, contact me on 07068613908 EKWERE JNR. Wish u well Bro.
I think location plays a part in ikeja a hall small size is like N450k to N800k then how about photograph er thats like the documentation guy i think digital photography with photo book is like N100k to N350 . How about video guy well all depends on you and what you want. On my wedding day i spent alot of money un budgeted and found myself owing a few people after the wedding . Just be careful with funds.
