Budget Tips

Once you have agreed on the style of wedding you would like to have, you will need to be honest and realistic about what you can afford.  Consider the financial resources you have available - bride, groom, parents, grandparents, benefactor - understanding who and what will be contributed will help you evaluate exactly what you have to spend.  Every wedding has 'fixed' expenses - these are costs that will not change regardless of the size of the wedding (ie. ceremony site, officiant, marriage license, etc.) list these first in your budget, subtract that figure from your total amount to determine what you have left to spend.  Set apart more money for the items that are most important to both of you, compromise or eliminate the items that are of least importance.
