Wedding Budget
From LoveToKnow Weddings
Couples who set a realistic wedding budget will find their wedding planning smoother and less stressful because they are aware of how they want to spend their money.
About Your Wedding Budget
The first step to financial wedding bliss is to figure out what your total budget may be. This figure can come from your personal savings, contributions from parents or grandparents, wedding loans, or projected savings as the wedding date approaches. The total cost of a wedding will be different for each couple, and will be influenced by where and when the wedding takes place, the size of the guest list, the formality of the event, and other factors. The average cost of a wedding in the United States ranges from $22,000 to $28,000, a figure that can panic couples who aren’t prepared for the expense. Fortunately, LoveToKnow Weddings is prepared with a variety of wedding money saving ideas to help you plan your special day by saving, not sacrificing.
Wedding Budget Tips
There are many ways to save money when planning a wedding. Some of the most popular include:
- Flowers: Cheap wedding flowers can be beautiful, and brides who make their own bridal bouquet can save a bundle. Buying wedding flowers in season is another way to have lovely arrangements with a lovely price tag.
- Attire: Brides who are savvy shoppers can find cheap wedding dresses that are every bit as lovely as expensive designer gowns. Tuxedo rental deals can also help save money, and investigating discount bridesmaid dresses will help keep the entire bridal party on budget.
- Favors: Some couples choose not to give wedding favors, while others find ways to use cheap wedding favors or small inexpensive gifts to thank guests for attending.
- Invitations: Couples who use wedding invitation kits can save a bundle by making their own invitations. Cheap wedding invitations can often be bought in bulk and personalized for a unique touch on a small budget.
- Wedding Cake: Opting for wedding cupcakes instead of a full cake is a sweet way to save. Other options include simple wedding cakes with fresh flowers or wedding sheet cake instead of more elaborate options that have higher wedding cake prices.
These are just a few ways you can trim your wedding budget without trimming the romance and magic of your special day. LoveToKnow Weddings is here to help you have a memorable event that will last for many anniversaries, without any debt to accompany it!
