So it was under that official budget, and went toward our new house. But it was a tiny bit over the budget I set for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923334 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:02:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 923334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were right at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923324 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 15:01:26 +0000 littlek 923324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over by a lot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923220 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:45:45 +0000 avivoca 923220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a set in stone budget. I think it cost around $4000? We saved a ton of money because I designed the save-the-date/invitation/RSVP suite and didn't use any fancy paper/printing, our church/reception/rehearsal dinner locations were free, we used a family friend for catering, we DIY'd a lot (silk flower bouquets, invites, centerpieces, guest book, ring pillow), and there wasn't any alcohol at our wedding, among other things I can't remember right now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923177 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:39:27 +0000 looch 923177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over, at some point I stopped adding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923161 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:37:21 +0000 TheReelDeal 923161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have a real budget, but I knew what we could afford, so I only spent money on things that were truly necessary, and cut corners where I could. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923151 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:36:08 +0000 illumina 923151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't really have a budget! We just tried to get everything we wanted whilst spending as little as possible! For our honeymoon we tried to stick to about £6K but came in way over budget at about £9K. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923140 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:34:12 +0000 DillonLion 923140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way way way over...but our budget was not set in stone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923136 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:33:25 +0000 Sapphiresun 923136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under by $700 due to less than expected turn out (budgeted for 100 guests all along, ended up with 82). But we blew it on the honeymoon extras so I guess technically a wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923099 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:28:26 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 923099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over by less than 1k, so we consider that nothing!<br /> We got much of it back in the form of monetary gifts, not the mention all the other gifts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923093 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:26:36 +0000 meganmp 923093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Over... by a significant amount.

To this day I have no idea exactly how much everything cost (I do have a rough estimate). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923084 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:25:18 +0000 SweetiePie 923084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Way over. BUT our budget was really not set in stone. We had an idea of what we thought it would cost but then when we chose everything realized it was way more. But we could afford it and couldn't imagine cutting anything so we just accepted it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923082 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:25:08 +0000 mrs. bird 923082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't really have a set budget, we tried to do things economically, but it was def pricier than we intended for it to be! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923078 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:24:48 +0000 heartonastring 923078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Significantly under budget! I still can't quite figure out how! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923073 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:24:22 +0000 edelweiss 923073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we had a loose budget, and i'm pretty sure we were over (partly because i was too scared to tally it all). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923068 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:23:21 +0000 mrs. 64 923068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom swears she added it up and it came in under. I think she got creative with her math. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923066 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:22:42 +0000 MrsKoala 923066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bit over.... but it ended up being okay. We couldn't imagine cutting anything and felt that everything we spend money on was definitely worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923050 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:19:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 923050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under! It was more of a range than strict budget anyway, but we came in at the very low end of what we expected to pay. The honeymoon was a separate budget and that was slightly higher than expected but nothing crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923049 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:19:27 +0000 Pirouette 923049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>very slightly under...and my parents thought our budget was unreasonable and that we'd blow it out of the water! we were kinda proud :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923042 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:17:40 +0000 lovehoneybee 923042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Under by about a hundred bucks, lol. But we didn't have a strict budget, more of a number we wanted to try to stay around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-wedding-come-in-under-at-or-over-budget#post-923037 Thu, 11 Jul 2013 14:16:01 +0000 regberadaisy 923037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Due to some crazy DIYing and budgeting we came in under! </p>
