Wedding in Romania · every month
Your wedding in lei — and how much to save each month until the day
Guests, menu, drinks, band, photographer, dress, godparents. You see the total and dated monthly instalments, plus an Excel with estimated gifts, timeline and guest list.
A reminder on the day of each instalment?
The calendar file works without an account. E-mail reminders need a free account.- Set aside this month's instalment: the table gives every date until the wedding.
- Replace the examples with your quotes as they come in.
- In the Excel, enter the estimated gifts and see how much of the cost they cover.
Your own amounts: the examples are not average prices. Equal instalments each month from today to the month before the wedding, rounded to the leu; the last one adjusts. Not financial advice.

Questions
How much does a wedding in Romania cost for 150 guests?
Mostly it depends on the menu and drinks: enter your own quotes. In the example (fictitious amounts) it is 130,200 lei, or 11,020 lei a month from October 2026 to July 2027 after 20,000 lei already saved.
What is the darul at a Romanian wedding?
Guests traditionally give the couple a cash gift (darul), and the godparents (nași) usually give a larger one. The Excel lets you estimate it — couples, single guests, the nași — and shows how much of the cost it might cover. It is never guaranteed, so plan payments from savings.
How do foreigners marry in Romania?
Both partners make the marriage declaration in person at the town hall where you will marry; the wedding takes place after 10 days from posting (Civil Code, Art. 283). Ask the town hall's civil status office which documents and translations it needs for a foreign citizen.
What is a Romanian wedding timeline?
Venue and godparents about 12 months before, band and photographer 10 months, church booking 9 months, dress 8 months, invitations 2 months, the civil declaration 10–30 days before. The full list is in the file.
What is in the Excel file?
The budget with formulas, monthly instalments, estimated gifts and balance, a 12-month timeline and a guest list with a “Gift received” column.
