[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on your HHI and your budget. Don’t go into debt for an extravagant party.

How much was your engagement ring?[/quote]

OP here. We will be getting married in Chicago ( my hometown). We have two contenders for a reception hall. Both are more of a rustic warehouse kind of vibe.

I make $120k/yr and fiancé makes $150k + bonus. We have a little over 500k combined savings.

I’m not sure how much my engagement ring costs. It’s a 1.5-2ct round diamond with 6 prong solitaire band. Possibly 15-20k.

We are also not sure if we cover bridesmaids/groomsmen costs or if that’s on them? Our bridesmaids will either be wearing a dark green or wine color.

$100,000 at min. Maybe you could get it down to $75,000 at an obscure hotel or event space with crappy food. No way can this be done for your budget with all the things you want.

Don't do this. Just go on a great trip and have family and few friends to a beautiful dinner.

Such a waste of money.
We are thinking maybe $30-50k budget?

OP here. We will also be moving back to Chicago this summer and plan to buy a condo/townhome sometime this year and will use some of the savings we have for down payment + closing costs, etc. [/quote][/quote]
