Wedding Budget
Weddings are a fun and very emotional time. They can also be a very expensive time. We get all caught up with the excitement of the event or party and can lose control of the cost if we use a credit card instead of paying cash.
Start with having a Wedding Budget is a key. Sitting down and deciding on how much you both want to spend on the wedding, reception and honeymoon. Also ask both sets of parents if they want to give any money towards your wedding. It is your wedding and you aren’t entitled to any money, it is there choice to help you out or not.
Setup a Checking Account just for the Wedding expenses. Both names should be on the account. Stick with your budget. If they agreed on $250 for a dress then you shouldn’t buy a $800 dress unless you both agree on a revised budget. No need to go into debt for a wedding.
Don’t think you have to have a big wedding or reception. Some people who don’t have the money can just go to the courthouse and get married for little cost. You don’t have to go on a honeymoon if you don’t have the money for it. We were married we never went on a honeymoon. We figure everyday we are together is our honeymoon. LOL
Pay cash is the way to go so you don’t go into debt for this special event. I would suggest opening up a joint checking account so you both have access to the funds for the wedding. Both of you can deposit the money you have decided to spend on the wedding. If your parents decide to give money towards the wedding then that money can go into your wedding budget checking account fund.
Here are some ways people I know have kept the costs low when getting married. Like I said before if you want to have a really low-cost wedding just go to the courthouse and skip the reception and honeymoon.
