To LC: Way to plan! Way to work with your future spouse too. I understand totally about the open bar being a budget breaker. We ended up compromising on that. We had the bar, and certain things were free, with the option to pay and buy other things. It helped save us some money anyway.

I’d be really excited to read about your experiences once your wedding is over. I hope you guys have a happy day to remember.

I’m currently planning my wedding and my budget went from $10K to $25K in the course of a year. My budgeting mistakes included not being realistic about the prices of the specific level of service I wanted (ex: I could get a photographer for $500 but the pictures would be worthless), assuming that DIY on certain items would be less expensive than just contracting out (ex: there are so many vendors on internet, specifically eBay that can do it for cheaper or just slightly more expensive than DIY and it’ll save you time), and lastly, not actually creating a vision of exactly what I wanted and what was important to me and my fiance before divvying out the wedding budget. Turns out a Saturday wedding with an open bar was momentously important to my fiance and a huge budget breaker.

I’ll probably do a series after the wedding on all of my wedding budget do-s and don’t-s. Luckily, my fiance and I won’t go into debt for the wedding, we saved up enough to cover the expenses all on our own without help from our parents. Any monetary gifts or assistance will be going towards a home purchase after the wedding.

[...] Chances are, the first thing you will want to do when you find out you are going to be married is to start planning! Whether you’re dreaming of having a large traditional wedding, or an intimate gathering of close family and friends, it can be easy to go overboard in the planning stages. There are so many things to consider; the location, the dress and tuxedos, the reception – all the way down to the favors you will give your guests and the time of day you want to get married.
