First Things First for your Wedding Budget

After the boyfriend asked the magic question and the girlfriend gave her resounding ”yes”, the green light for the wedding is now turned on.  Everyone around them automatically activates their excitement button. Even without being asked, they start to plan the wedding.

Ways to Stay Within Your Wedding Budget

The first way you can stay within your wedding budget is to pick up a composition book from a local office supply or grocery store and place detail costs of everything you plan on buying. For example, say I have a wedding budget of 8,000. I will place this amount on the first line and deduct each expense from this amount. I know the majority of my money will be spent on catering so I will say no more than 2,000 on a dress and 4,000 on catering. Based on the amount I want to spend for catering, this will let me know how many guests I can invite.
