How much should one budget for wedding?

[Waa-Aniga]

Say for only 100 people max only family and family friends.

I heard that family members and members of the subclan of the groom chip in money.

You should. But your family and hers should contribute as well

Depends, what y’all couple want? You guys want intimate or big wedding?

These days, I seen weddings cost around 60k.

I am not brave enough to ask my inlaws for help with the wedding. The thought alone am cringing as I type.

As a cheap person. I'm going for less then 10k in the garden with my close friends and family

No need to have a flashy wedding.

Have a simple wedding with friends and family and save your money for honey moon and other things you’d like to start in the future like a business.

You can have a beautiful wedding if you and your partner stick to a budget. Always look for bargains.
Just to let you know, y’all need bond + one month rent, grocery, kitchen applicances, furnitures, entertainment and bit of decor before y’all move in. Usually family contribute with money with house items

Y’all got a lot saving and sacrifice to do.

If you are barely making ends meet save up sxb have a good honeymoon (~6-7k ) where you can be with each other and spend the rest on the wedding.

Modest weddings in terms of number of guests, money and extravagancy are the best. Both economically and islamically. Just the closest families and friends...

Better to use the money for a home and future family life.
