Help! Struggling to Plan a $60-70K Wedding for 150-200 Guests—Destination Ideas?
Hello Wedding Planning Reddit!
I never thought I’d be in this position, but I feel like I’m hitting a wall with planning my wedding. Every option I look into seems to start at minimum $100K, and I’m trying to stay within a $60-70K budget.
Here’s the background:
- I’m from America, but my family is originally from India, so we considered having the wedding there. it’s just as expensive there (if not more).
- It’s tough for us to have a small wedding because of our large circle of family and friends—our guest list is about 150-200 people.
- I’ve been drawn to destination weddings in places like Antigua, Guatemala, or CDMX, and I’ve seen stunning weddings there. However, I have no idea what they actually cost.
I’m reaching out to this amazing community for help and advice!
- If you’ve planned a destination wedding in this budget range, could you share your price breakdowns or any insights?
- Are there any creative tips to make this work for 150-200 guests without breaking the bank?
I can’t believe $60-70K is considered a “budget wedding” these days—it’s literally a down payment on a house. Any advice, suggestions, or real-life examples would mean the world to me. Thank you in advance! 💕
