The Wedding Budget
Your wedding budget determines the type of wedding you have. However, low budget weddings does not necessarily have to turn out as a disaster and having a dream wedding does not also mean that you have to spend more. The key here is to plan ahead. Know how much you are willing to spend and know your priorities.
In planning, you also have to keep the honeymoon and life after the wedding in mind. Try to keep a balance between your wedding expenditures and the kind of honeymoon you want. Spending more on your wedding might mean that you have lesser money for your honeymoon. Also, if you are thinking of buying a house, then you might want to get as much savings as you can.
You also would definitely want to avoid postmarital bankruptcy. That is why creating a Wedding Budget that suits your financial status is rather crucial in your life after the wedding.
Here is the step-by-step process on how you creating a budget for that dream wedding:
Now that he proposed, you both must be so excited for your wedding. It will be better to have a calendar to make sure that all things are in place. Think about the things you need prepare for your wedding, like where do you want to hold the reception, the wedding theme, the kind of invitation you want, and your guest list. Be sure that your marriage permit/contract are settled before you move forward. The following are important things you have to consider in making your decision:After knowing all these, it will be best for you and your partner to talk and analyze your priorities. Realize where you can and should splurge and where you can save. Contact various suppliers and people you know to know the actual cost. Keep an excelsheet or a list of suppliers, their contact numbers and prices. Once you have all the information, you can finalize your wedding budget and set a meeting with the suppliers. Don’t forget to discuss your options and ways on how you can save even more. Remember that other expenses come up as your wedding day approaches.
You may be too excited to even think about your future together and the possible problems you may encounter. The money you save from the entire wedding cost could be used for other more beneficial investments for your future. When all is said and done, some couples would most likely say that they should have spent their money to buy stocks than on a big, fancy wedding. (Notes from www.philippine-wedding.com)The term RSVP comes from the French expression "répondez s'il vous plaît", meaning "please respond". If RSVP is written on an invitation it means the invited guest must tell the host whether or not they plan to attend the party. It does not mean to respond only if you're coming, and it does not mean respond only if you're not coming (the expression "regrets only" is reserved for that instance). It means the host needs a definite head count for the planned event, and needs it by the date specified on the invitation.
An incomplete list of respondents can cause numerous problems for a host including difficulty in planning food quantities, issues relating to minimum guarantees with catering halls, uncertainty over the number of party favors and difficulties in planning appropriate seating, among other things.So the next time you see RSVP on an invitation you receive, please call your host and respond promptly.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
