I read about how Nairalanders Joetttimua1811manage just #500k for his wedding in 2020 which I really appreciate how he manage himself without own anybody.

Believe me, When it comes to celebrating the union of a man and woman, trust Nigerians not to hold back on providing the best food and drinks, renting a spacious hall, and indirectly telling a friend to say to another friend about the event.

While Nigerian weddings are mostly seen as an opportunity to celebrate with the couple and get free food, the truth is that they are financially demanding. It is in the sense that planning a wedding is not cheap.

With the economic setbacks being experienced in the country, we need to secure our financial future. So, in case you are hoping to one day stand at an altar wearing a suit or bridal gown, here is an insight on how to plan a wedding with a budget of 700,000 or even less.

So With a hypothetical guest list of 100 to 150 people including ( mogbo, moya ) kindly drop your breakdown budget of #700k include weeding attire and shoes for bride and groom, stationary and souvenirs, reception venues and decorations, food and drinks and miscellaneous.

Nairalanders, kindly help somebody with good calculations.

Ok

For the photographer, yea sure!

Yes if your in-law are cooperating and you didn't rent hall or do decoration. You higher a photographer that ll collect like N50K only for pics or at worst N80K for photo and video. Some photographers are considerate n ll still give mini n quality delivery. Don't buy alcoholic drinks. Only few soft drinks. Invite not more than 50 people from both families or at worst 80 people.
Pick dress that's not more than N100K for both husband and wife. N60K for wife's gown and native, N40K for husband's suit and native. Some tailors no go charge more than N25K-N30K for wedding gown. You can make it as simple as you can. No tail, no peticoat or any expensive additive and the native can be procured from the smallest lace. No go buy aso-oke o! While husband can get N25K-N30K suit and N10K for native.
Feeding and entertainment cannot exceed N250K. Call a DJ for less than N30K.
Use a free space with tent. Open field, church, mosque, shrine, etc.
Finally, if the bride price and list of items to buy are not more than N100K-N150K.
Then the wedding is set.
Last Bullet
What makes wedding to be expensive is overdoing. If you know your budget, your wedding ll hold within it. If it passed it, it shouldn't be more money which you can easily augment after the wedding.

I m a wedding planner. Mail me @ sweetplumnija@gmail.com to help you plan your wedding from contacting a photographer to event deco, cloths, food, etc.
A patronage ll wow you.

Can't we use phone to reduce cost?

Hmmm, it all depends on what you mean by wedding, if it's traditional marriage only, it also depends on the state and tradition of the people. But generally in this Buhari economy #700k can't. If it's only Court Marriage 300k is enough.

Why not? But isit for Agbado, or for Cassava, or for Ewa?

Cut your jacket according to your cloth.

A wedding in Nigeria can cost 150,000 if you want.

Where all of una dey see all these moneyyyy....abi you be ritualists. Na wa o, when I only need half of that sum to be stable in my career and secure a livelihood.


Abeg who dey marry these days sef...?

Yes, Even 100k

That money no reach some couple to buy cloth alone. Some halls are even twice that price.

My brother/sister, cut coat cake according to the size of your mouth.

It depends on how u want it to be celebrated.

Modified: marriage na marriage

It depends on how you want it.

Have told my parent and fiancée my budget for my wedding is 1.5 million if anyone isn't ok with what I present feel free not to attend.

My plan is too have my white and traditional wedding on the same day.

A nice venue of of 300k will used for both ......in the morning a pastor will conduct the white wedding ceremony with few people from both family.

From 1pm the traditional wedding and reception will hold at the same time.

Break down of my budget.
Venue 300k
Food and drinks 500k
Decoration etc 200
Photo and video 200k
Unforseen expenses 200k

I no my parent will want something bigger but any money they drop won't be spent on my wedding.
The clothes will be using is not an issh.

I could easily have a wedding of 3million budget with few support from my sibling and parent but nah.

Left to me I won't even have any wedding ceremony..

2014 yes
2022 No

Yes, it can cost less than 20k ....if you know, you know depends on the couple, location, people, culture and approach.

A wedding can cost as low as 100k depending on the following reasons.

1_ number of guests invited to the wedding.
2_ location of the venue, you can hire a church hall and you'll get it cheaper if you happens to be a strong member.
3_ if you didn't marry a slay queen.
4_ the most important one. IF YOU DON'T GIVE A HOOT ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE WILL SAY.

Las las, don't carry debt enter marriage because of say you wan do flamboyant wedding be you male or female, cut your coat according to your size.

never

Yes. It's possible

Hell yes... More reason i love Catholic morning mass wedding.. after the wedding for church, everbody will go home.

one million know reach

Yes and even less. it all depends on how you plan it.

Hears a rough breakdown.

Cut out any unecessary cost like halls. You can beg your church to use their auditorium or any large space around the church.

Food.
Stick strictly to rice and use packs to serve to also cut cost of breakable serving plates. ( No varieties).
Pure water for everyone.
It's only at parties people form I don't take pure water. Go to any big man's house now, you'll see bags of pure water. Thats what most of them drink.

Do moderate wedding cake at the most 30k.

Beg one of your siblings wen Sabi do selfie to handle photography that day If you have a good phone. Take it to studio, select and edit the ones you want.

Your wedding outfits can be rented at very affordable rates depending on where you're renting it. If you choose to sew or buy readymade, highest, 150k don cover for both of you.

All these should not be more than 300k.

is a flamboyant wedding a necessity for a successful marriage?

For this modern nigerian society? Yes,I think so,but it depends on how you plan the whole event.....No do pass yourself......No matter how you feed hundred of hungry invitees,and at the end, you can't satisfy dem...


Las las,hire an event planner and give him/her your budget for the whole thing..

yes oo...as far as maguire is not in ur defense line-up.

Ofcos. It can even be done without spending a dime. just give her belle , then the parents wount have a choice than to dash you their daughter

HomoSapiien:
is a flamboyant wedding a necessity for a successful marriage?

Yes oo. That's what women think.

My own be sey no do wetin go put una two for debt

It depends on the family sha,most of these parents now are looking for a big wedding especially if their friends children's wedding was loud. They then put pressure on the kids to make it loud.

The only way to make it simple is to impregnate the girl. Wedding involving pregnancy are usually very mild but all those owambe people na melee stuffs them like.
