  • It’s Not All on You. Your wedding day is all about you, but it’s not all falling upon your shoulders to pay for everyone. There are people who love you and want to contribute to make your big day special. Ask your parents and see if they know anyone else who wants to help out. This way, you can see how much money you have in total to begin planning your big day.
  • What’s Most Important. Think about what is most important for your big day, whether it is your dress or the amenities for your guests. These are the details that will need to focus on most and create the biggest allowance for. Details that aren’t as important can be used as a backup if you have extra money or be allowed less money within your budget.
  • Be Realistic About What You Can Do. It’s understandable that you and your partner want an unforgettable wedding day and want to provide a wedding experience that your guests won’t be able to stop talking about. However, be realistic about what you can afford. Your guests will just be happy to be with you on your special day.
  • Exclusive Account. You and your partner can open a wedding account. This will help keep your wedding finances separate from your everyday finances and make it easier to track your purchases and available balance. It can be a great savings account after your big day is done.
