Things to buy cost of items required and costs of services rendered :

1. Your wedding suit and inner shirt- 18k
2. Bride's wedding gown-20k
3. Wedding rings 15k
4. Bridal crown and your bowtie- 5k
5. Pair of shoes for both of you-20k
6. well packaged takeaway drinks and food
after the wedding service in church- 100k
7. Lodgings to relax with your wife- 20k
8. Photographer+makeup+video coverage- 80k
9. miscellaneous- 50k
Total is 328k or approximately 350k.
You have to skip reception, by thanking all that attended your wedding, and wish them safe trip back to their respective destination. while you get into the car and zoom off with your wife. Long throat naim most time make us dey organize reception cos we thought we can recover part of the money spent in our wedding thru spraying, this is why most couple Start having spiritual issues after wedlock, thru gifts and monies sprayed on them.

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
Under normal circumstance, your girl's family should be responsible for all the entertainment but for a low key wedding 500k is ok. That will cover your cloth, food, drinks, chair, few tables and tent, you can use your in-laws house as venue of reception

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
Everyone will not be like you. This is the type of advice you'll give your children.I know you'll be happy if your daughter is made a baby mama. Destiny destroyer identified.

It is easy to say now until u Don enter the plan proper, when I wanted to do my wedding I was budgeting 800k but alas when we calculated everything e come dey enter 2m, only suit and wedding gown with traditional marriage attire, come talk of food and drinks, people are saying cut ur coat according to ur size as if the items these days are cutting down in price to suit one's pocket, u go to the market and things are on the high side, sometimes u go to the market with a certain amount of money for an item and u end up not even buying what u went to buy because of price

My dear, there's life after wedding.
Cut your coat according to your cloth and you will have a beautiful wedding for less than 500k.

Cut down on the number of people you are inviting. 100 people you will take good care of is better than 1000.

Buy yourself a good suit. Your wife can hire a lovely wedding gown.

A bag of rice will feed not less than 300 people. Get a good caterer who will give estimate for chicken and condiments to cook a bag of rice and the labour.

Don't involve family with cooking. They will steal half of the things.

For drinks:
Get enough water, malt, mineral and wine for toasting only.

No high table

Good luck

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.

The 'great location' would likely cost 'tons of cash'. I Know a cousin of mine who tried to cut so much that the videography people he hired lost the video and pix of his trad and all he has are the few we took with our phones. Now he's regretting it. Imagine if guests visit the couple and they can't even present pictures for entertainment. Haba! Because u wan cut cost?

He's talking about a small wedding with few people and you are saying 400 people. 500k can't cater for 400 people especially when other things like attire, shoes, etc are included in the money.

It's except he's going to serve the 400 guests rice with Titus fish and coke. The smaller the wedding based on the funds, the better.

You you give me N500, I will put good food in front of your guest. Bring 400 people and send me 200k, I will serve them good rice, meat and coke.

We are talking about quality food fit for a wedding ceremony, and not the kind of food you can get from mama put.

My wedding was over 4 years ago and a plate of food didn't go for 500 naira even as rice wasn't as costly as it is presently. Besides, I am always weary of overly cheap caterers because I won't want someone to come and serve maggi cubes sized meat and rugged jollof.

That's why I said 400 people is not reasonable when one is trying to manage 500k for food, drinks, dj, attires, venue, MC, etc.

Nope. It doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Especially in these Covid times.
