Large celebrations with 500+ guests can exceed $100,000. Costs vary significantly by ethnic group and family expectations.

The biggest expenses are usually catering and venue (30-40%), followed by traditional attire and jewelry (20-30%), decor (10-15%), and photography (10-15%). Bride price and traditional rituals also add significant costs depending on the ethnic group and family customs.

Focus on what matters most to your family. Combine ceremonies where possible, choose a smaller guest list, rent elaborate attire instead of buying, use local vendors, and consider DIY decor with family help. Many families prioritize the main ceremony over peripheral events.

Traditionally, the bride's family covers most expenses including bride price, attire, and main ceremony. The groom's family may contribute to certain rituals and gifts. Modern couples often share costs or pay independently. Discuss financial expectations early to avoid misunderstandings.
