Budget Wedding Tips

Wedding Planning. It's an exciting time, but I also found it daunting and at times stressful.

Not only do you have the financial burden of throwing this huge party, but you have the psychological transition of going from someone's girlfriend/boyfriend to someone's wife/husband and becoming your own new family.

Starting out without a huge debt from the wedding sounded like a really happy healthy thing to aim for when we were getting married a few years ago, and I thought I'd jot down a few things I learned in case it can help save others from some $-related stress :)

When it comes to weddings, big ticket items (in no particular order) include:
1. Reception
2. Photography
3. Videography
4. Rings
5. Wedding Dress
6. Wedding Attire for Bridal Party
7. Flowers
8. Invitations
9. Transportation
10. Cake

Over the next posts I'll go through what we did to save $ in each area and still get the result that we wanted for our special day.
