Nigerians like to complicate things,

If i was in your shoes ooo cos there is no format the getting married,

Legally its you signing your marriage contract in accordance with the law

If i were you, i will do a church wedding at 9 am on a Friday morning, and a court registry appearance at 12pm

From there everyone will be going to his or her mama house.

For the church wedding, i will rent or buy a suit maximum 23k and a wedding dress for the spouse, 25k, and little decoration at the church and extra expenses 20k, Car hire transport to the church for the day 10k and Photographer 15k

Any of my friends who have an Iphone X or above can recomend themselves to take pictures for me, the camera mad pass any photographer but i will still get one

Maximum 100k budget for the church wedding, and soft drinks after

If they ask why is there no food, tell them a prophet told them on thier wedding day, they must not cook any hot food if not thier marriage will be hot forever grin grin grin Even the pastor can do a sermon on that prophecy and vision self.

Maximum 100k

Invest the remaining 400k in any business you find

In this life always cut your clothe according to your size. Cos i wont lie to you, 10 million naira is not enough for a wedding

Even 20 million is not, everyone size and clothe different in this life.

I saw a couple spend 30 million naira on thier wedding last year, and just a year after they dont have a car or any business that gives them or makes them money, they still work 9-5

Both parents were rich so they both planned the wedding for them. surely its not the parents who will be feeding them for life right

Now they have a child here in the UK, which school would the poor boy attend surely not a private school, but one of the low level schools here in the UK.

They lived for the image and now its us strangers who are picking thier lives apart for them.

So please learn even if your is not 30 million naira, What you have is what you have, dont waste it, its just for a day

We are in Pandemic.

We have COVID-19 Weddings now.

N500K is more than enough for a COVID-19 Wedding.

Just the couple, parents and officiating minister.

The best time to do your wedding is this period. Even with 300k, u can have a wonderful wedding and have enough money for other important things except you want to show off. Also, we are getting close to December, price of things would continue to increase.
You don't need a hall. The most important thing is going to d registry.
After d registry, everyone should go home with a small package which includes takeaway, drink and gift. All these shouldn't cost more than 2k per person. 20-30 guests is enough for d wedding, relatives already included. You can hire a big bus to make it more convenient.
U might be wondering what u will use d remaining for?
Use that for the rings, clothing and other small bills( settling of pastor and some labours ).
After d pandemic, u can go for a outing with ur wife or throw a small get together any other.
If someone ask u why u didn't invite them, tell them d wedding date was during d Corona virus and only relatives were present because of the limit the government gave. U can get their own gifts if u like.

Re: Please Help!! Can 500K Be Enough To Plan A Wedding? by Neddyogu(m): 6:16pm On Aug 23, 2020
Let me be frank with you. 500k will do for a "cut-and-join" wedding but if u plan to invite or u know many people that would grace ur occasion, or u plan on using good attires and rings, a good DJ and mc, a spacious hall, and most importantly, a good quality photography and video coverage and decor, then 500k would not be enough. Mine was done yesterday and I know what I'm talking about. Except creating memories is not important to you and ur wife. The Joy of the whole thing is to be able to look back 10 years from now and still relive the memories. Good luck with your wedding bro.

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

5M for a wedding?

Hmm, you could buy a plot and build 4 bedroom bungalow for that price grin

Well i always advise people to cut your coat according to size.. some wedding do cost 5M or more alright for folks that can swing it easy..

As for OP, it is possible to do a wedding for 500k.

Just wedding and small reception.

No need to invite all the village people, just the 2 families and few friends.

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.

Kai. You no try at all.

You should have gotten married a few months ago when everyone was fully involved in the lockdown. That way, the wedding would have had max 20 people and no need for big hall.

The more you wait, the more lockdowns get eased and the more pricey the wedding will be.


But wait o. If you say your babe is on your neck and her business is going fine, she should be able to contribute something to the wedding expenses too.

You can create memories without a grand wedding. Do it in a great location, with only a few witnesses from family and friends.

No point in burning tons of cash just so you can watch yourself dancing ‘gbe body e’ 10 years later.

Some people plan their wedding with lesser amount, there are too many distractions in Nigerian weddings that you can let go off.

For wedding hall or the food or the event planner?
Anyway there is always a cheaper alternative

The guest one wants to please will not come to one's rescue. If well planned, #1200 will feed each person and 100 guest is #120000. The dresses and other stuffs shouldn't cost too much and same for the court expense.
