Budgeting for Your Wedding in 2024
·
·
“Budget” may not be the most romantic word in the world but, for most engaged couples, planning out your budget is a necessary part of wedding planning. Here are some tips that will help you plan your wedding budget.
To avoid this, keep your budget flexible. For example, you could set a budget of $1000 to $2000 for wedding bands. Then, as you shop, plan, and book parts of the wedding, try to avoid maxing out in every area.
There are some areas, though, that we never recommend skimping on. For example, you don’t want to risk getting bad pictures, so it’s important to invest in a reputable professional photographer. You also don’t want to skimp on wedding bands because they’re one of the few things that you’ll still have after the big day has come and gone.

It might seem counterintuitive, but part of successfully planning your budget is realizing that you’ll probably spend more than you think.

Decide Where To Splurge and Where To Save
When creating your budget, decide as a couple where you want to splurge and where you want to save. These decisions should be based on both of your personal priorities. For example, some couples will have their hearts set on a particular venue, while others may be open to looking at several locations in various price ranges.There are some areas, though, that we never recommend skimping on.
