Event Budget Help

It doesn't matter what type of party you are planning from a BBQ with your friends to a wedding, there is a budget. Knowing how to form a budget can be tricky. Here is a great funds flow I found from a Washington, D.C.-area planner Carol Marino.

Reception (Food, Beverages, Rentals, and Site)
40 percent to 50 percent

Flowers
10 percent

Photography/Videography
10 percent

Bride's and groom's attire
5 percent to 10 percent

Music
5 percent to 10 percent

Planner or Coordinator
10 percent to 15 percent

Miscellaneous (Invitations, Officiant Fees, Favors, Transportation, Etc.)
10 percent

Cushion
5 percent to 15 percent
