Chelsea's Wedding Tab: $3M to $5M

Previous reports estimated that Chelsea Clinton’s wedding would cost a cool $2 million, but the real number is probably more like $3 million to $5 million. Wedding experts run down the costs for the New York Daily News, from $600,000 air-conditioned tents to the $150-a-pop invitations and $100 place settings for each of the 500 guests. At the more conservative $3 million estimate, the total cost comes to $6,000 per guest.

But it’s not all designer dresses, fancy food, and $15,000 port-a-potties (yes, $15,000 for “outhouses” that are much nicer than your bathroom at home—TMZ has pictures). Because of the high-profile nature of the event, security will probably run at least $200,000 (even though the White House confirms President Obama won't attend)—or more if they opt to shut down air space or pay police to monitor traffic.
