1. Do set a budget.
Weddings are expensive! There are wedding clothes to buy, food to have catered, a reception venue to rent, photography and music to purchase, a videographer to hire, and all sorts of odds and ends that soon eat into your finances. Pretty soon you’re wondering if there will ever be an end to the demands on your checkbook!
Sitting down at the beginning of your wedding planning and making a budget is important, but sticking to your budget throughout the planning months is the smartest thing you can do!
Are the plastic vials of bubbles worth it when you have to cut back on your food choices for your guests? Making wise and realistic choices for your wedding ceremony and reception is very important to the overall success of your wedding.
DO set a realistic and workable wedding budget early on.
DON’T go into debt! Starting your marriage with thousands of dollars in credit card bills is not a great way to marriage harmony!
2. Do keep the marriage and reasons for your wedding in mind.
Why are you getting married? There could be a variety of reasons, but I think that most of you will agree that you are getting married because you love each other. Can’t live without the other; want to spend the rest of your life with that one special person; they are wonderful; perfect for you; cute and handsome; pretty and smart; beautiful and talented; I could go on and on.
You have found your soul-mate!
Would your soul mate swear at you for forgetting to call the linen colors in three minutes ago?
Would your soul mate throw a tantrum because you ordered peach-colored roses instead of blush, sunset light apricot-color?
Gosh, what happened to the innocent, sweet, wonderful person you asked to be your life partner?
Weddings have a way of bringing out the worst in some people. Relatives have been known to sever family relationships because of wedding disagreements; couples have been known to part ways because they saw a side of their intended that they had not seen before.
DO keep your love for each other and why you are actually getting married in the fore front of your mind during the wedding planning process; DON’T buy into all of the hype!
