Creating a wedding budget is just about the most responsible thing you can do when your planning a wedding. Before you decide between a sit down dinner or a buffet meal, a wedding band or a wedding disc jockey, you need to sit down with your fiance (or fiancee) and maybe also your parents to figure out how much money you can spend on your wedding.
Of all the wedding budget concerns, whether to have an extravagant affair or a modest party may be the most pressing. This one decision will have an impact on every decision you make from this point forward.
If you're the kind of person who has been dreaming of your wedding since you were born, then you may want to have all the things that the royal family may want. However, you will need to have a considerably larger budget. Symphonies and real dove releases are not cheap.
Sit down with your soon-to-be spouse and figure out what is really important to you. Or you may want to each write out what your idea of the perfect wedding is, and then compare notes. You will probably find that many things match. And for those things that don't, you will need to figure out if they're necessary and something that you both want.
It seems that many couples split right down the middle in terms of a budget. One person is usually more lax, while the other tends to count every penny. Use this to your advantage. After you've figured out what kinds of things you're including in the budget, then you can determine if there are inexpensive ways to accomplish them.
This is your first lesson in compromise. Some things will work, others will not. As long as everyone involves keeps an open mind when you're preparing your wedding budget, you'll have a beautiful wedding without breaking the bank!
