Let’s talk about your budget .
As a bride, it is so easy to overspend. Say you have a budget of $1,200 for your photographer but fall in love with a $3,000 package and sign a contract. Before long, the $20,000 you have budgeted for your wedding has been spent, so you have to use your credit card(s).
“Good” debt versus “bad” debt.
“Good” debt is purchasing something that will yield an increase in value. “Bad” debt is purchasing something that depreciates in value almost as soon as you purchase it. Bad debt will put a strain on your marriage.
Give your wedding planner your budget, and she/he will give you a budget breakdown showing you the national average of what is spent for each item within your own budget amount. Staying within your budget is not about preference. It’s about creating the life that you want by the choices you make now.
Usually a wedding is the biggest social event most families ever have. Therefore, it should be well organized, etiquette guidelines followed and personalization added.
