Good afternoon my amiable family people. I am planning a wedding with my fiancée my budget is 500K. Will it be enough for food and drinks. People coming from my side aren’t that much. She is yoruba and her mum says she wants a low key wedding and she understands we are young couple. But I just want my money to be able to cover for most things so it doesn’t look poor or low class.

Even this 500k na struggle I struggle am. Babe is on my neck and her business is going good. Please I really want to know what is needed

Do not go above your financial capacity for a one day event.

The amount you need is dependent on several factors which include the kind of wedding you have in mind, the state, area which you plan to host it and others.

Cut down on some luxuries and 500k is more than enough.

Cut ur Cloth according to ur Size Sir.


Don't let Anybody Pressurize u to do more than ur Financial Capacity or Capability


There is still more after the Wedding.

Well
To be honest
You will need at least 2M for a "so that it doesn't look poor or a low class wedding"


Except you won't be including the wedding reception

It should be. Just manage the guest properly and use maybe her parent's house for everything.

500k...just go with what you have ...but u if want a grand wedding u can settle for 5M

That is quite tricky.

Clothes alone have gulped #100 k.

Won't you hire hall? If you don't, you are in luck.

Video/ Photography has gulped atleast #50k

Decor/cake/ - #50k

Infact let the wedding hall serve as reception.
Share takeaways and a can of malt.

No mc/ no effizy.


Wedding ends with "I do". I now pronounce you man and wife.


Hurray. Congrats. Welcome to the league of those that sleep with wrapper for easy access.

Yoruba will say bi owo eku ba se mo n fi n boju " Na as rat hand small, na like that e dey take rub hin face". Work with what you have bro.

Your in-law have even made things easy for you.

200k will feed 400 people at N500 per meal. Cook rice like N250 worth. Drink of N100. Pure water of N50. Meat worth N100.

Spread 50k on your wedding attire - Get nice native & Affordable dresses. Like two styles.

Hold 50k for emergencies.

Get a hall or field for canopy, MC & DJ with the remaining 200k...

You can take pictures with phones and store in memory card and get them printed later.

Don't kill yourself with debts oo.

Meanwhile, guys check the 3D Wallclock for your home in my signature. Nice and beautiful for your sitting room, bed room and study room.

As for me, it's even too much

Its too much wont you guys feed after the event?

You are not impressing anyone to wed your wife

Get a caterer to give you budget for food and drink
Get the hall budget
Get the budget for her dress
Get for little bride and groom
Get your cloth budget
Get the souvenirs budget

Keep extra 50k in case its needed

This is why I like islammic Union. No too much unnecessary heavy Budget. Do your Nikka and everyone goes home happy and fulfilled

Their girls don't marry Christian guys. I for don marry one.

I wouldn't mind a low class wedding any day...but a high class life after wedding.

500k is much self.

Go to Island or send someone.

Bride's outfit plus shoes 20k
Your own outfit plus shoe 15k
DJ 5k
MC you suppose get friend wey fit help you na or highest 5k
Rings 10k
Cake 11k
Photography 15k
Chairs and all 15k
Foods 50k


You will still have plenty change left.

That amount should be more than enough depending on your mind set. If you cut your cloth according to your size, it doesn't portray you as poor.

If you borrow more so you don't look poor and please people then struggle to pay debt and subject your family to hunger after marriage it portrays you poorer.

Be moderate and presentable. If you like kill 20cows, it will finish. Do what you are capable of so you don't start selling your wedding gift to feed after wedding.

Even 100k is enough...

Covid-19 should be your guide

How much is the wife to be supporting the wedding Sir?

How much do you have apart from the 500k?

Hope you can answer these questions sir

Damn!men still don't wanna wake up.

That money would have helped you in a long way but instead you want to wed one Nigerian babe that will still ride her ex or one random dude later,then you will come back here and create another thread of infidelity.

Why not make her your baby mama instead and use the money for relevant stuffs as you're still a struggling niggar

Damnnnnn niggarrr
I was about to conclude by telling you yes
That the money will be enough

Untill i read the part of your story that states
She is yoruba

Bro, even 20k is enough only cut your coat according to your cloth! There's life after a wedding ceremony, remember.

My budget is... 500k

why not, our budget is 500k

This one that her business is doing fine maybe you didn't even contribute up to 30% of the total money but you're on here claiming to foot the bill of an unplanned wedding budget of 500k.

The spirit of entitlement is well pronounced on these shiit you wrote up there and you've not even walked her down the isle.
