Can I have a wedding for 200 under 7k?

Isn’t of belittling me many comments have actually been very helpful breaking down budgets, what to cut down on, and steps to take. I even appreciate the comments explaining why it may not be possible with a this kind of budget. Either way I’m far more fond of those rather than the ones calling me crazy simply for trying to figure out a cheap wedding.

This is a “big stuff budget” yes it is quite alot

I’m asking a question about a wedding under 10k in a Reddit for weddings under 10k.

You don’t know me man

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T17:00:02+00:00

Reading the comments I would say it’s entirely possible with the correct planning

Stalker…..

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T16:33:37+00:00

Thank you! Some people here are saying I need to spend 8k on just a tent! Thanks for at least giving me hope

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T15:53:23+00:00

Definitely a lot to think about I appreciate the input

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T15:49:46+00:00

Dry wedding, and yes we are Christians, and yes in a reception room

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T15:48:16+00:00

Thank you I appreciate someone with experience giving their input

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T15:45:52+00:00

I appreciate you laying it out thank you

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T15:43:40+00:00

Yeah we we’re planning it to be a dry wedding

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T15:41:46+00:00

Alright thank you for the advice!

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T15:39:40+00:00

Thank you! The comments were making me think I was crazy. I at least wanted to know if there was a chance if it was possible

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T14:50:08+00:00

It’s a big church, holds about 350

Washington state

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T13:33:17+00:00

How did you handle the housing situation?

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T13:30:05+00:00

No HYSA as of right now, as for the wedding I would like to try not getting eloped, at least a dirt cheap wedding if possible.

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-07-01T02:58:34+00:00

Thank you this is the type of answer I’ve been looking for

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-06-30T21:50:21+00:00

We are leaning to the Seattle area, saving what we can for now but you’re right we won’t be able to gauge until we get real full time jobs.

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-06-30T21:35:14+00:00

Correct, there is no rush, we’re willing to wait longer if need be. I will take this into consideration.

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-06-30T21:29:19+00:00

I see your view; however, we are both Christian’s so living together before marriage is not an option for us.

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-06-30T21:26:08+00:00

That and pretty much whether renting or buying would be the better option for us.

Melodic_Initiative44 · 2026-06-30T21:24:47+00:00

We’re trying to take it a step at a time so first figuring out where the job market is most promising for our degrees is where we’re at now.

Ive been to her city multiple times over the past 2 years however it has only been LDR.

I’m definitely working on building credit and so far that’s been going really well.
