If we're to share a top tip on planning a wedding on a budget, it would be this: It matters a lot who will spend for the wedding and where the budget will come from. We hope you agree with us that it makes a big difference in your budget when you know who spends for which.

In the first place, it does affect your budget, cost-wise. Your budget could range between two separate extremes. On one hand, your budget could be wonderfully unlimited such that sky's the limit on the things you want most. On the other hand (and more often than not), your budget could be so very limited that everything has to be itemized and accounted for. At any rate, what's important is that there's a budget to work with and that the wedding goes as planned.

When you're planning a wedding on a budget, you will need a cost estimate on all your possible expenses. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to cost. The other side to it is figuring out how the actual costs will be borne. Decide early on who gets to pay for which part of the occasion and how costs will be divided among you.

Traditionally speaking, it is the bride's side which usually braces itself for the bulk of expenses. However, the groom's side is not off-the-hook either. It can be so arranged that they gallantly spent for more.

If both sides were to meet halfway, then the modern approach would be that of sharing costs. When families meet and intermarry, the wedding becomes a shared occasion. It can also become a shared expense.

To make the job of shouldering costs so much lighter, due attention should also be given to cost-cutting measures. This means economizing on expenses and generating some savings. Instead of going off to purchases and vendors, this amount can be kept within and set aside for the couple's future use.

Thus, when cost-cutting becomes part and parcel of all the preparations, whoever shoulders the cost will be spared from unnecessary burdens. Whether it is the bride's family or the groom's family who shoulders most or all of the costs, it will be taken with a light pocket and an even lighter heart.

When there's an upcoming wedding in the family, the practice of planning a wedding on a budget assures you that there will be no pointing of fingers. Neverheless, awkward as it sees, the eternal question still confronts you: So who's going to pay for it this time, anyone?
