everything on what you can afford.

you should first of all know about.

1) cost of hall which will include decorations an all that will make the venue to the taste you will like it.

2) no of guest expected plus crashers so you know how many mouths to feed.

3) what kind of drinks do you want to serve on the venue ( only soft drinks or with alcohol)

4) who is providing the wedding gown and all the woman needs that day to make her look good

5) your suit who is paying for it and all you need to make you need good.

6)do you have intention of giving out sourveniers and what type.

7) what kind of entertainment do you in respect of music ( your church band or a DJ)

cool contingencies

if you have put value on all this based on your pocket or will i say the money you have.

then you will have an idea on how much to spend.


But all i will say is that make sure that you have what you will live with after the wedding.
no matter how much you spend for a wedding that does not make it succesful but good planning and organization.


wishing you the best.[b][/b]

All depends on what kind of wedding you want. The spectrum is very broad. How many guests?

@poster: You just said outside Lagos, which is a very vague description if I must say. Give us a specific area or location and you will have responses pouring in.

Re: How Much Do I Need For A Regular Wedding by spikedcylinder: 2:01pm On Oct 13, 2010
I think you should have a budget and plan around that budget instead of leaving it open and getting in trouble later.

You are not yet ready as no amount is too big or small. You're the one that knows what and how you want it to be.

We must change our orientation as Africans. Today, we celebrates double wedding ceremonies due to our colonial experience. The engagement i.e. the traditional wedding is original to Africa. However, the church or registry was borrowed from Europeans. Spending on double-wedding is a waste. U can register your marriage with little or no cost at the registry and go to church for marriage blessing without crowds, and later do the main thing "African traditional wedding". BEST OF LUCK.

My brother u really can't get what u want from us unless u know what u want. My idea of a regular wedding might differ from urs. Everything is upto u, but my advice to u is dat [color=Black]DON'T WAIT FOR BIG MONEY TO ROLL IN BEFORE U PLAN. U can start your planning right now, U don't have to get a wedding planner on a small budget. Yes they plan everything right for you BUT you are still going to pay them, so i don't really call that saving costs. Look u can start buying things now cuz waiting and saving towards it might not really work cuz u might dip your hands into dat saved money. Whatever money u have now make a list and get what u can buy from d money at hand. To be sincere with u not even 1m can help u if u don't start now.[/color]

Traditional marriage wont be higher than 5m in the East, 1m in the West and about 50,000 in the North.

I believe you have all these listed items in your shop to give him?

@poster, why not get to where you want to marry and ask of everything about the marital recquirement of that place to make your marriage easy?
Re: How Much Do I Need For A Regular Wedding by denony(m): 3:59pm On Oct 13, 2010

Hmm Africanist, food for thought, good thought i dare say. but even if the brother is lucky to find a sister who is not pushed by desperation and is ready to follow this your low key advice am not sure her family members would want to hear of it especially if the couples are from the demographic location the poster was hinting at.
But then like you said African orientation,if not how many westerners do traditional marriage when we go ahead to do court, traditional and church wedding?

You need to be specific about your enquiry.

Type of wedding,Place of wedding, tribe of your spouse, and your social afaffiliationsll put together will influence the cost of your wedding.
