It isn't how much you have to spend
that makes an event memorable,
it's how effectively you
spend what you have.
DECISION MAKING... - Ask yourself, What special elements mean the most to me? What am I willing to splurge on? What am I willing to cut corners on?
- Calculate a realistic budget, record actual expenses and review it often.
- Get a calendar and folder to track the details and progress being made.
- Don't agonize over every decision. There will always be cheaper choices and more expensive choices. Just pick one and move on.
- Remember the 3 C's when making decisions with your future spouse: Communicate, Compromise and be Considerate.
| WAYS TO SAVE... Bridal accessories- Have you considered borrowing a bridal veil or necklace from a friend? Cake- Visit the grocery store bakery, they usually sell wedding cakes at a very reasonable price. Photos- Use a photographer that includes a CD and rights to the photos. Also, consider hiring a talented amateur. Invitations- Skip the inserts and oversize invitations. They cost more and translate into more postage. - Don't buy on impulse- Ask yourself, Do I really need this? Will guests really remember this? Will I regret not having done this or bought this?
