Now you are engaged and have your planner, it is time to create your wedding budget. Neither planning a wedding nor setting a budget is not easy.
Following the previous episode How to Compromise When Your Parents Pay, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe shares great tips on How to Make Your Wedding Budget in this episode of FunkeSays.
According to her, you have to:
- Decide how many people you are expecting at your wedding. The more people you expect, the more expensive it is.
- Determine what kind of budget you want to have. A higher budget provides more flexibility and you can incorporate different items to your wedding.
- Create a budget estimate and ensure it is a little bit high and not low where you can’t even do anything.
- Talk to a few vendors to determine how much they charge. You can then have a better estimate for the cost for a vendor.
- Prioritize the various aspects such as invitation, photo, food, dress and then allocate the budget.
Ultimately, your wedding is all about YOU.
