When planning a wedding, it is best to keep some priorities in mind.
There will probably not be another time in your life when you will be responsible for so many people's happiness and well-being than at your wedding. Some of your guests you may never see again (I hope that this is not the case, but it happens.). How they remember your wedding event will be a testament to your graciousness and thoughtfulness. If you aren't going to go the extra mile and really show your guests your lovely character, then I have to ask, why go to the trouble of spending thousands of dollars at all?
I hope that you realize that most of you will be spending over $3000 an hour on your wedding day event. $3000! If you don't believe me, then do the math for yourself. Most weddings last 6-7 hours. The average wedding in Iowa costs $26,300. Divide 7 into that number and see what you come up with. Even if you tell yourself, "Oh, I would never spend that on my wedding!" Figure out your hourly expenditure; pretty sobering isn't it?
If you aren't going to give your guests great memories, then why have a wedding at all? Why spend the money?
