We're definitely in on the plan together.
We are trying to determine colors.
She's indifferent about colours but I'm particular.
Any ideas on good colours for both parents and guests?

No idea bro, but you can go to your tailor to get samples,....I believe you can get something better there

40 guests are too much for me.
When I'm ready na just immediate family from my side and her side, we go just gather for our parlor do wetin tradition requires and go home and fxxk the hell out of ourselves.

After that, I rent wedding gown we take one photo and upload for Facebook... Marriage don finish be that.

Life's too simple and short for long story
I'm glad you came through..

Wedding na mock exams, Marriage na the real thing. Buh since I'm not married, make I dey observe...

Bros....wey you say only 40 guest, what do you mean?

Because, looking at it more closely; if family n friends are also counted towards this guest list, it might be unrealistic.

Let’s assume, you allocate 20 guests to the bride and 20 to you....it means the paternal guest on each side will have only 10 guests, while the maternal side will have 10 guest each....this allocation along will exhaust your intended hard limit of 40.

If you truly want a guest of 40, change it to “For family members on either side ONLY”...otherwise budget for like 80 guests.

And don’t listen to that individual suggesting you use iPhone X to document your wedding. Your pictures and videos will be the only memories you will have and pass on to your kids, so don’t compromise on those.

40 is already a crowd grin. I'll advise you cut it down to just 15.

Then, if its in my place, everything in the list is what will be used to cater for the occasion, so, no extra spending.

That's all!

Where is your place? Let's get married already grin

Hi, Nairalanders.
So, as the topic says.
I'm getting married in September. Yippe!
We're relatively still young and up and coming.
We've agreed on having only the traditional wedding for now and then going to court later.
Now, we're planning the wedding and I need input from you guys. Informed contributions please.
Things we're not paying for includes
Hall... (we're using parents compound)
Makeup
Rings
Photography

Any other I put and price suggestions please?
have you gotten a photographer?

Thank for your input.
This is very insightful. I think I'll go with your idea of take away food pack.
Sincerely, if I should adjust my budget, it'll be for 50 guests max.
I really appreciate your idea of the take away.

You want to marry and you are not financially boyant? Na wa, is this how you will still economize your basic needs in life when you are married?

My major concern is photography and decoration. I want want to look at the picture years later and feel pleased.
How much does it cost for traditional decoration?
Not expensive but standard. Mustn't be over the top luxurious
Get an iphone, if you don't have, borrow. Now contract the photo-taking to a friend who has quite a degree in taking pictures. Ladies are usually skilled. Then take photos and print them for 100-150naira each. If you have me as a friend, i would edit the basic photos, do some retouching for free and you go and print them.

I am not particular about colors. I have left that to her to decide. I'm particularly interested in the quality of the material. I let her pick everything for the introduction but in my heart I wasn't too pleased with the quality so I will supervise that.

Have you gotten a photographer for the pre wedding shoot. The one someone refered to me is quoting a high figure and na three costumes I dey use.
