So when everybody was figuring out their budgets did you have a conversation with family about helping out or did they tell you? How does that work?

As the father of a girl and a boy, I fully expect that I'll overspend on my daughter's wedding and then my son will marry some chick whose parents don't want to pay for anything.
My fiancee and I are paying for the whole damn thing. This wedding thing is not cheap.

That's how wifey and I did it.
What's the average wedding cost for just food and alcohol?
I'm finding that food is like $40+ per person and alcohol (just decent beer and wine) is like $25+ per person. For 150 person wedding, that's $9750 before you even have a venue, dress, decorations or anything else. Insane. Especially if 80% of your wedding guest will only have 1-2 drinks all night. Sigh.
Also, the Full Bar is totally not necessary unless you're having a wedding in the sticks
