Do You Have a Wedding Budget Checklist?
When you are first starting to think about your wedding, it can be a confusing time. There is simply so much to cover and even a year doesn’t seem like enough time to get it all together, does it? But, take a deep breath, calm down, and get a wedding budget checklist on paper to guide you through the next few months. A wedding budget plan can save you money and save your sanity.
A wedding budget checklist is absolutely essential, unless of course you have an unlimited amount of money. Weddings are known to spiral out of control very quickly, with small intimate weddings of 10 turning into grand affairs in the hundreds, simply because more and more people wanted to come. By having a budget, you will be able to say “NO” much easier to all of those extra guests.
There are many items that need to be on your checklist and you know the obvious ones: the dress, the ring, the flowers, the tuxedos, the reception hall, the food and alcohol, the wedding venue, and the gifts you will need to buy for the wedding part. But what about the cost of the invitations and postage? What about music and a videographer? Who is paying for mom to stay in a hotel?
By writing down all of the potential costs of your wedding ahead of time on a wedding budget checklist, you can start assigning priorities. This is a smart and organized approach to cheap wedding planning. Is it more important to have lavish flowers than it is to have an open bar? Get these questions answered early with your future spouse and you will have an inexpensive and memorable big day.
