You have always dreamed about having the perfect wedding surrounded by all your family and friends with lots of flowers, beautiful music and an exceptional reception. Suddenly, you realize that your dream wedding can be very expensive. With the right planning your ideal wedding can be achieved if you follow some guidelines.
Once you have set a date for your wedding, the next thing to do is to come up with a budget wedding planner to help you stay focused and that details most of the things required for your wedding. Your planner should include things as a budget, number of guests, location, time of day, theme, colors, formality, etc …
When you have a plan in place it's time to move on with more specific details.
1. Plan everything as far ahead as possible. Many times when planning something months ahead in advanced you are able to get better deals with caterers, reception halls, musicians, etc …
2. Compare prices with several businesses that provide the services you need for your event. Use your bargaining skills and see who can give you the cheapest deal.
3. Bigger is not necessarily better. Do not think that a bigger wedding is better than a small one. A big wedding is going to cost more and it will require a larger place, more food, more drinks, more wedding favors, etc … therefore, more money.
4. A small wedding can be more modest yet more warm and cozy with only your closest family members and friends. It will also be less expensive because it will require a smaller place, less food, drinks, etc …
5. Keep track of everything you spend on. Small things can add up to large amounts; therefore, causing for you to go over budget.
6. Accept any help from family and friends. A little help here and there will make a big difference on your budget in the long run.
7. Do not fall under pressure to do things you had not planned to do or have at your wedding. Accept any given suggestions and only do those that fit your budget.
If you follow your budget wedding planner, it's very likely that your spending will not go over budget. Remember, keep track of every single expense you make, only invite close family and friends, bargain with vendors and accept any help from those close to you. May your wedding day turn out to be what you always dreamed about and your happiest day ever.
