Just went through it three weeks ago with my first daughter. We, the in-laws and the bride and groom pitched in. I would venture to guess is we collectively spent 20,000. We had 300 for supper and plus another 100 for the dance. We did cost recovery for the booze and mix. It was a catered supper in a rental facility with a DJ for the dance. We all had a good time, so money well spent.
