Here are some of our top tips for putting together an intentional wedding budget.
If you recently got engaged, you may be wondering what the next steps are. Beginning the wedding planning process can be overwhelming, but there’s one great step to take: creating your budget.
If you’re not sure not to put together a wedding budget, then you’ve come to the right place. In this blog, we’re going to go over some of the most important things to think about when it comes to wedding spending and financial planning.
Our Top Budget Tips
The good news about putting together a wedding budget is that there are a few things you should think about early on in the process. We understand that budgeting can be an extremely stressful part of wedding planning, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not important.
By putting together an intentional budget, you can make sure that you can not only make decisions that you can afford, but that everyone who’s financially contributing to your wedding is on the same page.
Let’s get started and go over some of our top tips if you’re ready to put together your wedding budget.
Contributions
One of the most important things to think about is who is going to contribute financially to your wedding. Speaking with those people is an essential component of putting together your budget, so that you can be sure you’re on the right track and everyone knows exactly what they’ll be contributing.
Having conversations about contributions early in the planning process is essential, so don’t be afraid to begin those discussions.
Research
Many couples find that researching is a helpful part of the budget creation process. Looking at venues and speaking with vendors are great ways to get a general idea of what you’re looking for and how much it costs.
How far along you are in the wedding planning process may determine how much research you need to do. Don’t be afraid to use the internet in order to price things out. While you definitely don’t need specific amounts when creating your budget, it can be helpful to have a general idea of how much your vision will cost.
Flexibility
Another important thing to consider is whether or not your budget will have flexibility. Some people find that their finances have some wiggle room, while other people prefer to keep a strict price tag on their big day. Regardless of where you and your partner fall on that spectrum, it’s important to make sure that you’ve discussed this aspect of your budget.
