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.
hmmm

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

I hate low class or poor events... I'd rather gather friends and celebrate small than do a low class wedding.

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.


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.

Yes, cut your coat according to your cloth, it will be a small wedding, the most important thing is that God has joined you and your spouse that day.

I beseech you please don't go borrowing for an event that is just for one day, just know that the most important thing is the journey ahead of you as a married couple.

Good luck to you.

Already, your future in-laws have told you they don't want large party.

500k will do.
Prepare takeaway packs (food+drinks) and share at church or registry after the main thing.

In short, just do registry and trad.
You're fine. Visit your pastor/Iman for blessings or let him bless you during a Sunday service.

My brother, your mother-in-law has said it all. 500k should be more than enough. Remember we are at a point where much gathering is not encouraged. Cut some of the unnecessary spending. I think u are more concerned about impressing people, but the truth is u can't impress everyone. Moreso, u shouldn't put ur yourself and wife to be under unneeded debt because of impressing people. Work with ur 500k and u will be happy.

Abeg na busniess wedding you wan do? After people come your wedding chop, eat drink dance and clean mouth and go their house, waitin you wan dey chop with wife and children.

Do parlour Wedding with N25,000 for food and drinks for 20ppl . Eru iyawo with N50,000 and carry your woman go registry to sign at N25,000
50k for bride & Groom traditional wears .

Little bride, Groom & bride Wedding wears and shoes + flowers = 50k

Waste N50,000 for honey moon if you like then carry N250000 shock for business to make more than N250,000 profit .

If Dem no do, Abeg say bye bye.

Really low budget wedding not naming ceremony

After the wedding comes the marriage, we can use the money to invest or go for honeymoon. I don't believe wasting money on wedding.

Re: Please Help!! Can 500K Be Enough To Plan A Wedding? by Trutalker123: 10:39pm On Aug 23, 2020
It is too much sef. Did mine with less about 350k.

Clue 1. Your in-laws has made things easier for you by letting you know they want a low key wedding.

Having this in mind, why fi your wedding for a Saturday

Clue 2. Limit your traditional wedding to dowry payment. Let it be between families. Your parents all your siblings is enough to make up your side. One or two friends from your side is OK. Immediately after dowry payment, leave. That same hour.

Clue 3. Fix your wedding on a working day. These week you will be doing your dowry payment.

Avoid church wedding. The processes can be resources consuming. But invite a pastor to witness the registry wedding, afterwhich, go down on your knees let him release the blessing on your new family. Opt for registry marriage. With less than 50k, you are done with the process.

Clue 4. Avoid renting venue for reception. Just cook, package your meals in the boot of your car. After the registry marriage is over, during photography session, distribute the refreshment you prepared for those that honoured you with their presence. That is your reception

Clue 5. After registry marriage, go home and enjoy your life. You will discover that you hv over planned and not under any kind of pressure.


Challenge: you and your wife have to come to an agreement that the marriage is between you both and not friends and families. With this understanding, you guys can conveniently deal with pressures that will be coming from your fiancee's friends mostly.


Wisdom: instead of saving to rent a hall for few hours, divert that money to secure an apartment for your wife and you for a year.



Note: you don't need a video camera man. A photographer is OK. And if you go to the right place, you will get the best of qualities for less than 40k(photo book)


How I did mine wasn't far from this at all.
