NOW I KNOW SAY WEDDING NO BE BEANS OOOOOOOOOOO...........

500K? CHAI!! ENOUGH TO START A SMALL GROCERIES STORE IN MY NEIGHBOURHOOD....

WITH THIS UNEMPLOYMENT RATE?? NOW THIS IS THE SOLE REASON WHY MANY. GUYS WOULD STILL REMAIN SINGLE FOR YEARS......

Hmmm................
LETTER TO MY GIRLFRIEND ASAP
Dear gf,
I hope you have seen all what OP wrote, about what we need to tie the knot, it is safe to say at this junction that this our relationship should remain at this stage, atleast for now, until the Economic Austerity becomes a little bit favourable. so i have two plans for you or we bid this relationship goodbye.

PLAN A
NO WEDDING UNTIL I MAKE MILLIONS COS ITS INSANE EARNING LESS THAN 70K AND SAVING FOR A CEREMONY THAT WON'T LAST MORE THAN A DAY....

PLAN B
THAT WE STICK TO OTHER PALLIATIVE MEASURES PROPOUNDED IN THE BACKGROUND OF PRUDENCY, A BUDGET OF 100K WILL BE SO APPROPRIATE AND I PROMISE YOU 3 SQUARE MEALS TILL DEATH DO US PART..
THANKS YOURS IN LOVE
COMMITTED BOYFRIEND
Thanks OP for sharing this with us! Nice job...

Makeup 30k Even expensive pass wedding gown? Hian.

Wetin the bride dey make up 30 whole thousand naira to paint paint face Chai.

@Evina come and see o


#Teampowderandlipglossevenonmyweddingday#

Lol gurl.

It pain me plenty that I did not see this thread sooner.

But the amount for makeup is not much in my opinion oh. It is very fair if you ask me. Seriously! I had no idea you could get top notch makeup for as low as that amount.

Even the gown n accessories, really cheeeap! Did she rent the gown? Hmmmm.

Sis, I beg of thee, no white powder n lip gloss nansense on that day.

Evina:

Dear read the list again, she said 15k for bride's accessories, 30k for makeup 5k for my Hubby's suit and using some of his old stuff. My sister is the wedding all about the bride? My Hubby's big day that will only happen once in his life time he should use 5k suit and some old stuff while I look new all round?.

The op should fear God na, a wedding is for 2 and not one and both bride and groom should look good. Honestly a makeup shouldn't be more expensive than the the Bride's accessories or even the groom's. All na paint paint and go clean before you say jack.

Don't worry dear, when the time comes I will know how to do my makeup but I will myself. I love my simple look just as I look on my profile picture now.

Your budget is even too high and yet you couldn't manage the funds properly... the funds are wasted on some certain things.... Take for example venue :open field 50thousand its too much 10-30 thousand naira would do

Make up just the bride 30 k with 15k you can make up both the bride and her bridal girls....intact the bride should do the make up herself or her bridal girls or even a family member... no need to waste such amount of money on make up.

PHOTOGRAPHY- N80,000 (full event coverage, one
photobook, pre-wedding shoot, one DVD of all the pictures)
Photographer: Xtrm Creations ...... Another waste of money with 50 K you can achieve that ...how much is picture 150 per copy... DVD is not only one or two CD plates that would be produced.... So you end up even saving more


32 k for ushers na waste of money call all the young girls from your extended family... dash them 5k each....you end up saving 12k from the 32k for trained ushers.....no be to serve food and drinks and welcome guests... what's the big deal

Sweetie, I didn't get to see a picture of you on your profile.

Nevertheless, a lady should get excellent makeup done, especially on her wedding! A MUST! Fantastic makeup is NOT about a display of colours on the face! You can get a natural look with makeup!

Also gurl, as regards what was spent on the bride and groom, it was their choice. The Bride's look is usually more expensive than the groom's, that's stale news.

I mean, guys get a hair cut for 1k (at least that's how much he spends on his cut) but the cheapest hair I can have done: the weave, (I'm sure you know how much a good weave costs) and the fixing will cost some five digits. Then you have others...

My headtie alone for trad costs 15k. Me I no even know the kind headtie! All I know be say, my mum in law to be insist say na that headtie I must tie and she buy am herself.

So, it depends on the couple and what they can afford! What I won't tolerate is having big eye and long throat when you ain't got the bills. Don't start making elaborate plans and delude yourself into thinking there are people who are obligated to pay the bills. And also don't use up all your savings for your wedding! That's just being financially dumb!

Dear I'm fixing a date next month.

I know you reacted to the list dear. I know a couple, the girl spent 150k on make up. Hair was about 55k. Wedding dress $850. Reception gown. $450. Not sure about shoes n accessories. Her hubby didn't spend up to half of what was spent on her. LOL. And they were both so pleased! I think many men don't mind their brides looking ALL new and shimmering, especially if they can afford it.

So you picking a date soon?
Wowzies
You go gurl! I need a dancing smiley! Seun please give us a dance smiley
Congrats babes!
Have you started the ginger+lemon detox yet?

Its good to cut your coat according to ur cloth, but oga, invitation card na just. 1k u put oh, so na only sms we go use invite?
* none of my friend be MC oh, even if they are, I am a business man and won't ask for freebies as its friends and familly that kill business.

* wedding gown and accessories for 15k, wedding na once in a life time, na sow una go sow d gown? With d way dollar don run leave naira for back, 15k no go buy gown talk of shoe.

LMAO! Yes, SMS alone is sufficient for the 100 guests. At the rate of N4 per sms, you would have spent just N400. You can use the remaining to resend or even call important people.
As for the wedding gown, we omitted the fact that it was rented. For N10,000 to N15,000 you can rent a very decent wedding gown.

helphelp:
Oh well...

Tell me how I can manage 200k

It all depends on how realistic you are with your expectations. And most importantly, your guest list. We specialize in Low Budget Weddings. Contact us 08103193930

Again I hope Nigerian youths take this number of guest thing very seriously, nothing like mummy's list, father in laws class mates, brothers friend etc, STRICTLY BY INVITATION should be stressed in the bulk sms.
Biko economy is hard

EXACTLY!!!

williams20:
The morale of this write up is not to limit anyone but to explain financial prudency as regards marriage spendings ,
I've always mentioned it that more than 25% of the expenses of every elaborate wedding is not needed , so with proper planning , you can always have a dream wedding without having to burn your purse.

E.O.T William CBT, Member IAeng, ASHM

This is exactly what we have been preaching!

olrotimi:

Many facilities offer rental services for wedding dresses which I consider helpful. Why should you spend 100k on what you'd wear for a few hours only, except Ofcus you have the money The argument goes back and forth but if you can tent your dream car just for the wedding, why not do same for your wears?
Many of us don't understand that even the westerners practise this rental services very often. wedding doesn't have to always be a luxury, it's a necessity

Herzumpther:
Just imagine, makeup for 30k, make my hair with 3500, ring for both of us 6500 and gown 15k. Mtchewwwwwwww.
My hubby will then wear a suit of 5k, sha na my houseboy or escort?
Op you try but that 30k is too much for makeup biko.

30k for makeup is actually a VERY good deal considering that professional makeup artists usually change from 60k up to 250k and above.

kika23:


30k is cheap sef.... Hehehehe you've not heard of 250k?
Heard of Jide of stOla? Guy is gooooooooood but he's damn expensive..250k, minus accommodation ooo! And that must be provided!!

Exactly!!! Not even only Jide of stOla. All the big makeup artists in Nigeria charge similar prices; we have done our research.

watered:
Nice one but I bet you that I can offer you quality and presentable cakes far below that range. But OP u deserve an applause.

We love low cost vendors, as long as they don't compromise on quality. Please contact us on 08103193930 and let's discuss on how to work together.

LewisO:
[size=15pt]But (op) u need to tell us where to get those things at cheap prices like u listed, concerning the hall, chairs, tables and canopies.

U can't get those things u listed at cheaper price in some towns maybe in villages will will get those cheap even decorations [/size]

Please follow our blog at www.justbudgetweddings..com We regularly list promos, deals and low cost vendors. Thank you

IdJack:

Why should I pay Usher 32k for what? My friends and my silbing are there to help....only appreciate them with TP money. BUT in all we need to budget it well not to overspend.

Yes, you can use friends/sisters, but family members might not do the job as effectively. (for example, their attention might be need for other things) Besides, for this particular bride, we were already using two of her sisters as event coordinators. Lastly, ushers add a touch of glamour, class and orderliness to your event. It is usually money well-spent.

Otes26:
850 for a plate of food for somebody working with a budget of 500k is way too much. 300-400 will get your guests good food.

If you know a caterer that can supply for at N300-400, please let us know!
