Outlook Money
Setting a practical budget from the start is crucial, particularly when the wedding season is in full swing. Categorizing expenses into key groups like venue, catering, attire, decor, and entertainment and staying within total budget helps one manage expenses.
The wedding industry sees a significant increase in demand during peak wedding months, which lead to higher prices for venues, vendors, and services. To cut expenses, one can think about selecting a wedding date during the off-peak season.
A large guest list can rapidly increase wedding costs, especially for the venue and catering. Simplifying the guest list by inviting only closest friends and family can help allocate more funds to unique decor, gourmet food, and lasting memories.
The cost of wedding attire can be huge, but there are many ways to save money without sacrificing the style. One can consider renting a wedding dress or shopping during non-peak times for more affordable options.
Instead of organizing an extravagant buffet, one should opt for a few specially chosen dishes that appeal to both guests and the host.
