35–40% of your budget. This is the biggest impact item. Prioritize quality here — guests remember the food.
20–25%. Flowers and lighting give the most bang for your buck. Consider DIY centerpieces to save.
15–25%. Hosting at home or a friend's space can eliminate this entirely and free up budget elsewhere.
10–15%. A photographer captures memories forever. Even 2 hours of coverage makes a huge difference.
3–8%. Go digital to save, or splurge on beautiful printed invites for a luxury feel.
5–10%. Guest favors, games, entertainment, and miscellaneous items. Often the easiest place to trim.
