Setting Your Wedding Budget
The first and most important task a bride and groom must do is
to set their wedding budget. Weddings can be expensive, and the
average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is over $20,000 not
including the honeymoon. While $20,000 sounds like a lot of
money, keep in mind that it is an average and a lot of weddings
cost much-much more than that.
Before we go any further, you must realize that no wedding
budget is ever too big. It is your wedding budget not your
imagination that sets the limits of what you can or can't do on
your wedding day. Formal weddings in hotel ballrooms or other
extravagant wedding reception venues will require a much larger
budget than a wedding party held at your parents house. In
addition, formal weddings are more expensive because everything
about them is expensive such as the food, music, etc.
Summer is the most popular and most expensive time of the year
to get married. Because hotels and other wedding reception
venues wish to profit from the busy wedding season, be prepared
to pay a higher price during the summer rush.
The more guest you invite to your wedding, the more money you'll
spend. You should
calculate your food budget based on a per-head
cost for food and liquor. The type of meal you plan to serve
your guest is limited by your budget. For example, a seated
dinner served is more expensive than a buffet.
Some locations are more expensive than others. Certain cities
such as New York and Los Angeles can be expensive, but distant
places can be just as pricey due to high travel costs.
Don't panic if your wedding budget doesn't cover everything that
you'd like to have on your wedding day. It may require
compromises, scheduling changes, or simply begging for more
money, but even with a limited budget you can likely plan your
ideal wedding.
The decision about a wedding budget is one that needs to be made
by the bride and groom and their families-together. While
tradition dictates that the bride's family covers most of the
expenses of a wedding, that tradition is not necessarily
relevant today. The bride and groom primarily finance many of
today's weddings.
