Budget - Where Does All The Money Go? |
| |
 |
Paying for a wedding can be a very
scary thing! Planning ahead can help take some of the
surprise out wedding expenses.
Our
Budget Worksheet gives
you a head start. You can modify it to meet your needs.
|
|
| |
There are several different
factors that determine the cost of the wedding: how many
guests you want, your theme, your location, if you want an open
bar, live music verses a DJ, paper plates verses china, etc.
You need to figure out what is most important to you and
prioritize your plans accordingly. |

Who Pays for What? |
| |
What used to be a very straightforward
process is now one of the most confusing parts of having a wedding.
Due to larger scale weddings, different family relationships, and
different family roles, things are a bit more confusing. Many
couples today pay for the entire wedding themselves. Bride,
groom, and parents need to talk about the wedding ahead of time to
get a realistic plan for the budget. Two of the biggest
factors you will need to consider are: how much money you can
spend and how many people you want to come. Plug these two
numbers in to our Budget
Worksheet and start to get an idea of where you want the money
to go. (PC) Right-click and select "Save target as..." (Mac)
