There are a lot of new planners and experienced planners that struggle with knowing where to start when planning an wedding, I even struggle with this task.
Here Are 3 Tips To Help Pull Together An Effective Budget For Your Wedding:
1. The most important place to start is what do you have to spend? This
figure is often stretched by couples so a realistic approach is
essential here. Then identify the crucial "cannot live without elements
of the wedding" as each couple are different and have different visions
for the day.
2. If the couple has chosen a venue, they would roughly gauge the
cost for the hall and catering. Starting with the hall decorations
because that's where most of the costs would go to.
The rest of the things in the itinerary like the band, lighting, sound
system, cake etc are the normal stuff that goes along with any other
events.
3. Have the couple
each put together their own guest list, then compare those and make sure
they agree on who they both absolutely want to have in attendance as
opposed to who is "expected" to be invited because of parents' wishes,
international relations or traditions. This is particularly important in
"low budget" weddings as one can still produce a memorable and classy
event. My point with that is to remind the couple that this is their
day, not everyone else's opportunity for a party. It saddens me to see
how many couples end up with hundreds of "strangers" at their wedding.
