Survey of the costs and planning the budget
We tried to collect all the possible cost positions that might be suitable. Of course there will be some costs that will not fit your case or others that will have to be added. For example if a friend is making music, you do not have to pay a DJ. Another thing that has to be clear: This survey is only a guideline. There is no way of stating the costs right in advance but for an approximate estimation this guideline is needed.
Nevertheless, you will want to know what will be coming or what costs are to be paid for your nicest and greatest celebration (possibly).
