My Wedding Chronicles : Part 2 (The Plan)

Its allready March, so me and fiance has agreed on most of the things. We planned to have a single reception for both side as to cater our financial plans and budget. So i match the RM10k hantaran amount and both of us add up another RM5k each, so we have a handsome RM30k budget for the event. We also decided to hold it in a local hotel ballroom after considering few points. With a budget around RM50 per head for 500 guests, the RM25k will cover the venue, foods, vip table, guest table arrangements, gift & attendance table, waiting room, p.a system, decorations, banner and the grand pelamin. Not to forget the honeymoon suite and discounted rate for family members room and parking. Everything will be prepared by the banquet manager with full force of hotel staffs. With 80% tasks allready managed, we only need to work on the baju bersanding, make-up, bunga telur, thank you goodie bags, invitation cards and photographers. That's where the RM5k balance will be allocated. Is it enough? A very good survey plus friends recommendations will able to squeeze into that budget. While if we plan for hall type of wedding, there will a lot more of bookings, confirmations, findings as each tasks would be from different service and person. Plus it will be difficult to organised a group of managers to be on our benchmark. And yea, no honeymoon suites too :P
