jerald's Budget
$75~150 per person at a nice restaurant. Book a private dining room for an intimate first meeting—don't forget to budget for gratuity (18~20%)
$1,000~5,000 for venue and catering. Traditionally hosted by the bride's family or close friends—a relaxed celebration to announce your engagement before formal planning begins
$5,000~15,000 for venue rental (NYC/LA/SF venues can run much higher). Watch for separately charged setup/teardown fees, overtime charges, and required vendor insurance—deposits are typically 50%
$75~150 per guest — usually the single biggest venue expense. Most venues charge catering separately from venue rental. Get a per-head quote inclusive of service charge (18~22%), rentals, and gratuity to avoid surprise costs
$2,000~5,500 for essential appliances (fridge, washer/dryer, dishwasher). Black Friday and Memorial Day sales offer 20~30% discounts. Consider adding big-ticket appliances to your wedding registry
$3,000~15,000 for furnishing basics. Mix new investment pieces with budget-friendly items from IKEA or Wayfair
$500~3,000 for quality bedding and essentials. Register for high-quality sheets (400~600 thread count) and towels—these are popular wedding registry gifts guests love to give
$300~3,000 for local moves, $1,000~5,000+ for long-distance. Book movers 6~8 weeks ahead—peak season is May~September. Get at least 3 quotes and confirm whether packing materials and insurance are included
$2,500~8,000 for full-day wedding photography. Engagement shoots run $300~800 extra. Most photographers require a 50% deposit to reserve your date—tip $50~200 on the wedding day
$1,000~5,000 for gown + alterations. Sample sales and trunk shows offer 30~50% off retail prices. Budget $300~800 for alterations separately—most gowns need adjustments
$200~600 for bridal hair and makeup (includes trial). Bridesmaids typically pay $75~150 each for their own hair and makeup. Book a trial run 2~3 months ahead to perfect your look
$1,000~3,000 for a pair. Simple gold or platinum bands are timeless and comfortable for everyday wear. Order 2~3 months ahead for sizing and engraving
$100~500 for bridal bouquet. Seasonal blooms cost 30~50% less than out-of-season imported flowers
Average $500 in cash tips distributed on the wedding day. Typical recipients: catering staff (15~20% of food bill), photographer/videographer ($50~200 each), DJ ($50~150), hair & makeup ($25~75 each). Prepare labeled envelopes 2~3 days before the wedding
$300~2,500 for bridal shower. Typically hosted and paid for by the maid of honor and bridesmaids. Includes venue, food, decorations, games, and activities
$400~4,000 for roundtrip flights. Booking 3~6 months ahead and traveling mid-week saves 20~35%. Popular US honeymoon destinations include Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Europe
$200~500 per night for hotels. All-inclusive resorts may be cheaper than à la carte when you add up meals and drinks
$2~5 per suite (invitation, RSVP card, details card, envelope). Don't forget postage—RSVP cards need pre-stamped return envelopes. Digital invitations via Paperless Post or Zola cost $0~1 each
$30~250 for Save the Date cards. Send 6~8 months before your wedding (earlier for destination weddings). Include your wedding website URL for travel and accommodation details
$2~5 per guest. Edible favors like local honey, cookies, or custom chocolates are most appreciated and rarely left behind. Some couples donate to charity in lieu of favors
Order from a local chocolatier or online vendor; choose individually wrapped pieces to keep costs down and ensure freshness.
Small 2–4 oz jars make a charming edible favor; buy in bulk from a local producer to save and highlight a regional touch.
Choose simple glass votives with a custom label for an elegant, memorable favor that’s easy to ship or hand out.
Include simple boxes, ribbons, and a printed thank-you card; good packaging makes favors feel thoughtful without large extra cost.
Set aside 5~10% of total budget for unexpected expenses. Remember vendor gratuities: 15~20% for catering staff/servers, $50~200 each for photographer, DJ, and hair/makeup artist. The average US wedding costs $28,000~45,000 total
