Yesterday we came across a very neat article titled ‘Your Wedding Budget - 5 Tips to Help You Stick to It‘ by Cori Russell in the American Chronicle. The article offered the following 5 suggestions:

1. ‘Get a budgeting system‘. Create a system whereby you separate your wedding fund from your personal expenditures so that you can easily see what you have spent on your wedding.

2. ‘Prepare to go over‘. Set aside 5 percent of your budget as a ‘just in case’ fund… for those last minute costs that will arise. Some common last minute costs that you may not have considered include: tips for vendors, trial runs for hair and makeup, overtime fees, last minute dress and tux cleaning, marriage license fees and postage for wedding invitations and RSVP notes.

3. ‘Cut back‘. Make it a 3 course meal instead of a 5 course meal. Have 5 bridesmaids instead of 10. Trim down the list of invites.

4. ‘Beware of the up-sell‘. Everyone has something slightly better for slightly more…

5. ‘Tighten your purse strings‘. Try to save a portion of your income specifically for your wedding. Save more and spend less. Create frugal habits that will carry through your marriage and provide you with more financial stability down the road.
