Every bride deserves a wedding the way she wants it. Unfortunately, it still needs to be within a budget you can afford. Here are some mistakes many brides make when they are planning a wedding on a budget.
Mistake #1: Not Setting Priorities
You have to make the decision to decide where you want to spend the most of your money. Some want to spend allot of money on flowers. Other brides would prefer to spend more money on the dress. It’s up to you. But you do need to decide on what the most important items are.
Mistake #2: Being Too Cheap
The point of having a budget wedding is by keeping things cheap. But this can also be a big mistake. For example, you don’t want your amateur brother taking all those pictures. How many of those will really turn out good? Whoever you give a job to, you better make sure it is something that they can do well.
Mistake #3: Trying To Have A Big Wedding On A Budget
The reality is that your going to have a really difficult time doing all the catering yourself for a really large wedding. It’s too much work, it will stress you out, and you won’t enjoy yourself. Cut that guest list if you can’t afford it. You have heard it before, but it is true. It’s allot easier to afford to feed 50 guests then is 200. It’s also allot easier to do your own catering for 50 guests then it is 200.
Mistake #4: Being Too Easy
Brides are notorious for being really easy to sell to. There emotions get in the way, it’s their special day, and they are suppose have everything that they wanted for this special day. That’s a very dangerous way of thinking. It’s the sort thing that can lead to a very large debt. Always work to get the price dropped down. Try to get vendors and sellers to give you a better deal before you say “yes”.
Mistake #5: Not Knowing What You Want
If you don’t know what you want then someone else will choose for you. Often the person who does the choosing will be a wedding vendor. It’s your money and you should be the one choosing how it gets spent. Know what you want and tell them how much you can afford.
