Re: Wedding Costs
I see this being your #1 issue. 300 guests is ridiculous if you dad is having financial problems and you’re paying for the wedding yourself. This needs to cut down to like half. Stick with inviting family and close friends. When adding someone to the guest list, ask yourself do you really want to pay extra $$$ for that person’s presence at your wedding.
This seems like a VERY low amount for 1000 guests! Did you attend this wedding? Do you know which vendors were used by her?
I know people who managed to pay very little during their wedding here in the U.S. (or for certain major things) but it was usually b/c they knew the owners in chrage of the business (for example, knowing the owners of the restaurant doing the catering OR owners of the decor company), and got a deep discount in the price. But even then 27K seems unbelievable for 1000 guests (I assume the wedding took place in the UK?)
