How To Say I Do
Without The Financial Ramifications
|
A wedding day is supposed to be perfect. In fact, most people start
dreaming about and planning their wedding day long before they even
meet their spouse! But what many people forget is that a wedding is
in reality a financial transaction, and if it’s not handled properly,
that dream day could quickly turn into a foundation for debt.
If you are planning your wedding day, you should take some time out
and think about the possible financial ramifications that you could
suffer if you don’t plan well. Here are some tips for ensuring that
your wedding day is indeed perfect—financially and all.
Talk
The first thing you should do when thinking about your wedding is to
sit down and talk to everyone involved. Usually, this will include the
bride and groom, as well as any parents who will be contributing finances
to the event. You should set a firm figure in mind, as this will be
the basis for all of the other decisions that you make.
In addition, you should think about one thing carefully: if your parents
are contributing a great deal of money for the ceremony, are you sure
that you wouldn’t rather use it for someone thing else? People have
been known to spend $10-15,000 on a single wedding. If they’d thought
it through, they might have made the decision to have a small wedding
and use the contributed cash as a down payment on a new home instead!
Plan
Now that you have a budget in mind, you should make a list of absolutely
everything that you’ll need for your ceremony. This list should include
things like the wedding chapel, reception hall, dress, catering, flowers,
photographer, and more. You will need to assign a portion of your overall
budget to each of the categories. You may need to do some price comparisons
before completing this step so you’ll have an idea of what each item
should cost. It will help to assign a value to each item. For example,
what’s more important to you; your wedding flowers or the gifts for
the bridal party? Now that you understand how much you’ll have to spend
on each thing, it should make the next step easier.
Compare
Now it’s time to do some comparison shopping and re-adjusting. For example,
if you’ve planned $500 for flowers, and find that it’s simply not enough
to get what you wanted, you will have a few choices. You could select
something else that isn’t as expensive, you could reduce another category’s
budget and put it toward the flower budget, or you could get creative
and decide to grow your own flowers for the ceremony. The point is to
stick to your overall budget.
Move On
Once you’ve planned your entire wedding within your budget, you should
be able to sit back and enjoy the occasion knowing that you have chosen
to start your lives together responsibly. Now, continue to budget and
plan in the other financial areas of your live and watch your finances
grow!
