Our wedding ended up being about $7000 or so, and we had a good party for about 150 people or so. My wife and our Moms did a lot of the decorating work, we didn't buy a lot of flowers (seriously - EXPENSIVE)nand had a family friend's son who was learning to be a baker or something make our cake.
Our split was about 40% from each set of parents and 20% from us. They all gave us a cheque and said that we could use it for the wedding or whatever we wanted. We understood this meant they had a say in how things went - but it all worked out just fine.
