So after posting in a previous about wedding costs being ~25K, I started to read the posts on spending as minimal as possible...which I'm trying but it doesn't seem to be working out that way...
Asian wedding costs breakdown estimate:
120 people @ 1000$/ table that sits 10 ppl (10 seafood/meat dishes ) = $12000
2 Photo Shoots, Fitting for groomens/bridesmaids, us, 2 photographers/1 videographer on wedding day, make-up, limo = $5000
Cake, Flowers, Alcohol (supply our own)/Bartender = 2000$
MC,2 DJ for wedding day = 1500$
Decorations = $2500
Gifts, Tips, Misc., etc. = $3000
Granted it's an chinese party wedding and typically guests bring cash gifts (which will hopefully offset the food/table costs) but I'm still overthinking it? From my experience at other relatives weddings, usually relatives give >1000$ (some in the order of $10,000+ as well as gold jewerly) as gifts, so actually in the end I'm "guessing" we might actually make money.
However, PF mentions never "expect" any gift from anyone, but it's hard to avoid this kind of traditional asian wedding ceremony. I just feel guilty for kind of allowing these kind of costs to be that way and would rather much prefer to just go to a nice restaurant and call it a day. No need for everyone to waste $$$ for a single day
