Write a guest count and a hard ceiling before you visit venues. Catering is the heavy line here: about 110 EUR per guest times 90 guests. Venue is about 6,000 EUR. Photo 1,300 EUR and outfits 1,650 EUR sit after that. Keep about 9 percent free for VAT overtime and extra bottles. If family pays, write who owns which invoice.
Decision order
- Guest list freeze, then venue availability, then catering style.
- Photo and video as one package with a clear hour limit.
- Attire with alterations and shoes in the same line.
- Decor only after food and room are booked.
- Contingency never spent on a last-minute upgrade unless the original line is under.
Track as a shared event
If two families pay, treat the wedding like a group event: one list of categories, one running total, and named payers. Saveet public event budgets show how other people split real celebrations. Use them as structure, not as a price list for your city.
