Need advise on how to budget a wedding ceremony

[naftal]

My bestfriend wanted to settle down with her long time girlfriend. The problem is he only have a savings of P50,000 on his bank account. He asked me a favor how to maximize his money for the wedding celebration. According to him, her girlfriend is not after the ''engrande wedding'', the most important is they will receive a blessings from the church. I really don't have an idea on wedding expenses. I told him I will see how I could help him. By the way, they live in a province so I expect the price is not that exorbitant compare to city.

Could anyone advise how to maximize his budget? I think rental for entourage dress is a must to save some penny.

I hope someone can estimate of the following expected expenses:

- Church permit and preparation
- Entourage dress
- Reception place
- Photographer >>> necessary??
- Invitation and giveaways >>>> necessary??
- Bridal car >>>> necessary??

Did I miss something? Thank you guys for your help.

canvass ka na lang ng local suppliers. yes, rent the dress, di mo naman gagamitin iyan after. baka bumaha pa jan sa inyo problemahin mo pa saan ilagay.

yun dress ng entourage pwede naman sila sila na bahala para di niyo na gastusan.

look for a restaturant na gusto niyo, asko for a package. limit your guests.

asko your friends na mga photographers baka meron pwedeng mag volunteer. ideal ang video for the couple kasi minsan lang yan and that's the only chance you can watch the entire wedding proceedings. pwede din ma share sa ibang friends and family na hindi makaka attend.

invitations and giveaways, kayo na bahala. pwedeng kayo na mag print at maghanap.

basta ask around and canvass lang and ask help from friends and family. kaya naman yan eh. best wishes to your friend.
