Your wedding should be special, but if you set your expectations too high, you will find yourself spending more than you can afford to. There are a few different ways you can control wedding costs. This article is packed with useful tips and tricks for planning a magical wedding on a practical budget.
Religion is possibly the most influential aspect of any wedding ceremony. Speak about religion with the person you’re engaged to and the close family members on each side so that everyone feels comfortable at the ceremony.
Include your children in your wedding to make sure that it’s an enjoyable experience for everyone. Start right when you begin planning by asking them what elements they would like to include in the ceremony. You can even have your oldest child walk you down the aisle and give you away to their new step-parent.
Don’t be a bridezilla! Delegate tasks for your wedding to your loved ones to help relieve the stress on you and get them involved. If your Mom loves to cook, ask her to help with the catering. If your Dad is a wine aficionado, have him help with the wine selection for your reception. Get everyone involved!
If you are looking to get married you should decide very quickly what your budget will be. Many couples fall into the trap of endless planning and then adding up their expenses and find they are quite shocked. By setting a budget ahead of time you prevent yourself from overspending.
Although it’s important to give the wedding DJ a list with songs you want to play at your reception, it is also important to inform him of those you DON’T want played. Perhaps it’s heavy metal, or country music, or even a previous lover’s “special song”. Make sure that you inform the man you are marrying too.
A beautiful wedding on a budget is possible if you plan carefully and have realistic expectations. Put the ideas from the preceding paragraphs into play and you’re sure to plan a divine wedding that fills your heart without emptying your wallet.
