Why a 50-guest wedding isn't half the price of 100
It's tempting to assume half the guests means half the budget, but it doesn't work that way. Fixed costs — venue, photographer, videographer, flowers, music — barely change with headcount, so they make up a larger slice of a small wedding. Only the per-guest costs (catering, bar, rentals, stationery, favors) actually shrink. The Estimate by guests mode above shows this split clearly, so your 50-guest cost per head will look higher than a larger event's.
