For example: the main sheet of the document is a categorized overview (like under attire it will show expenses for the bride and groom). But if you click on the "Attire" sheet of the document, you can enter the description of the item (and location where you purchased it), the quantity and unit price. It will then keep track of all your attire expenses and categorize them on the main overview sheet.
Sounds very similar to the workbook I put together for myself!! We are anal accounting freaks!

I know! I just can't make sense of the money/budget until I see the actual numbers side by side.

 

I'm such a finance/accounting freak that I did something similar to this to help see and select a resort. It got too overwhelming trying to guage one package for x dollars to another package for x dollars...

 

Now I know I'm a computer geek---- I actually look for new reasons to make spreadsheets with formulas/names/cell references....

It is possible to keep your wedding under 10 grand. You just have to not go overboard with options. My sisters BF got married in Curacao and was there for 2 weeks and they spent just under 8 grand. They also had 30 guests. It really all comes down to how elaborate you want it.

I was thinking $8K tops but most of your budgets blow this out of the water eek.gif

Looks like I got some figuring out to do dizzy.gif



One Question though, do you couples have the cash for this stuff? Or is this going mostly on credit? My FI and I have some debt, but certainly don't have any savings to speak of that we can pay for this thing cash. It's stressing me a bit confused.gif
you're not alone with the $8k budget tops... we're trying to stay around $6,000ish.

my budget so far (assuming 40 guests, which may end up being way too high!):

Royal Wedding Package: $995.00
Boutonnieres (2): $12.00
Bouquets (2): $60.00
Steel Band 1 hr: $250.00
DJ 2 hrs: $300.00
Open Bar: $400.00
Hall/Disco Rental 2 hrs: $250.00
Room - 6 nights (approx): $1,776.00
Flight (approx): $800.00
STD's: $16.40
Invitations: $150.00
Dress: $250.00
Veil: $40.00
Photographer: ?
TOTAL $5,299.40

(as of now we're paying for it all. If parents can kick in for anything, we'll probably upgrade some things)

it's an all-inclusive resort...this is just an extra fee (my TA says that they told her its for top shelf liquor and having the staff exculsively with our group. She is looking into the charge though to see if that can be eliminated, who knows?!)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
