Answer
you don't define what you consider small or medium, so please keep in mind that I consider small under 75 guests and medium 75 - 125/150ish. Also, I planned & budgeted for a large wedding (invited 225) but because it was held where I live (in PA) nearly half my invited guests declined and it ended up in the medium category.
1. 115 attended
2. 12 plus one which was an activity table for the kids
3. $250
4. Budget was $20k (again, I was planning for a large wedding)
5. No, came in under due to low attendance
6. As far as food/beverages & hall, $6800. If you add in the cake, DJ, centerpieces: $9500
7. Pastor/Church was $550. If you add in flowers, ring pillows, programs: $1,300
8. I wish it was larger and that everyone I invited would have made more of an effort to be there. My fiance & I have regularly traveled for our families' "special occassions" and made the effort. We have no plans for kids so this is for us our one & only BIG event to celebrate.
7 (second one). We bought the bridesmaids dresses, hair/makeup was optional and at their own expense - all my bridesmaids and 2 of 3 flowergirls opted to have their hair done at the salon with me but all did their own makeup.
8 (second one) bought wedding gown & bridesmaids dresses, rented tuxedos (we paid for all the attire for our wedding party)
9. Nope. We had 1 MOH, 1 Bestman, 2 Bridesmaids, 2 Groomsmen, 2 Ringbearers, 3 Flowergirls. One Bridesmaid & One Groomsman (now-hubby's 1 Sister & Brother-in-law) dropped out of the wedding due to alot of family issues so we had sis do a reading for us.
10. yes, although I had wanted ivory but the dress I found was on clearance and only left in white.
11. the lower cost.
12. not having everyone we wanted be there.
