Planning a Budget Wedding for Beginners
Now that you've gone and gotten yourself
engaged, you have a lot to think about! When are you getting
married and who's going to attend? Will your wedding dress
make you look like a princess, a film star or a model in a
wedding magazine? Do you have to invite you’re your old
school chums—even the ones you weren't especially chummy
with?
Your (Funny, but Necessary) Wedding Vow to Wedding Budget
Promise not to deplete your savings, and vow to leave your credit cards intact. Decide what you absolutely must have in order to feel like a happy bride, and throw out all the options that don't thrill you anyway. Don't be swayed by opinion or trends, and remember that the bridal magazines are written specifically to sell expensive objects to starry-eyed women.
Do it Yourself (DIY) Weddings
In this book, we are going to approach wedding planning with a combination of common sense and romantic optimism: after all, if you're going to have a wedding, you'd better be satisfied with it! But there's no sense in paying more than you have to, and that's the focus of this book.
Ways to Save Money and Have an Inexpensive Wedding
Weddings are like much of life. You have a choice between doing everything yourself and letting other people help you with it. It's true: when you leave things up to other people, they will make other decisions, and things may not turn out the way you wanted them.
Why Does the Average Wedding Cost So Much?
Like the diamond industry, which originally decreed that men should pay at least 2 months' salary for an engagement ring, the wedding industry tells prospective brides and grooms what they should buy and how much they should spend on their weddings.
Your Wedding Checklist from Proper Planning
Take a few minutes to read and reflect on the list of potential wedding costs, and make a check in the appropriate box. And give a copy to your fiancé to fill out as well. This way, you'll be starting out with a solid idea of what you each must have, would like to have, don't care about and don't want at all.
Be Your Own Free Wedding Planner Using Online Resources
Don't hire a wedding planner. Wedding planners account for around 15% of the cost of a wedding, and they often create more problems than they solve. Many wedding planners have working relationships with wedding boutiques, hotels and caterers, and while that can work to your benefit if you just want to hire someone to get it all done without counting the cost, chances are you will wind up paying more for the services recommended by your planner.
Wedding Schedules
You can schedule your wedding in just a few hours of constant telephoning, with only a headache and swollen eyes at the end of the day. Flexibility is key here!
Picking a Wedding Date: The First Thing You Must Do Before Choosing
The problems you will encounter are the inevitable ones of bringing the right place, time and people together. The date you have in mind won't be available at the location you want. The people you want to come to the wedding will be somewhere else doing something else on the date you settle for. You will inevitably have to compromise either on the date, the location or on the guest's availability.
The Number of Your Guests – Big, Medium or Small Wedding Considerations
Start with your core—the bridal party and grooms men. Closest family members and best friends usually make up this group. Once you have an idea of the number of bride's maids and groom's men you'll have, the rest of the wedding party can kind of unfold from there.
Your Wedding Photography
One smart idea that combines photography with the reception is to have one-time use cameras on each table at the reception. Encourage guests to take as many photos as they want, and make sure someone reliable picks up the cameras at the end of the night.
Wedding Photographers
There are some things about wedding photographers you should know before hiring one. There are three criteria a wedding photographer must be able to meet in order to make clients happy
Registering for Wedding Gifts
Brides and groom must register for wedding gifts, since guests will certainly want to purchase something for the occassion, whether you need it or not!
