Alright, so now that you're engaged, all the fun of planning your wedding can begin! But where to even start? First, you need to sit down and figure out a budget (yes, even with a calculator if need be). Budgeting is going to be a fairly big deal and you want to make sure you don't overdo yourselves. If you and your fiance are paying for the entire wedding, then good for you! If your parents will be helping out, then there are a few things you might want to take notes on and discuss with them later. This blog post today is designed to help figure out who pays for what (courtesy of TheKnot.com). I hope it's helpful...
Bride and bride's family:
Church/ Ceremony
Bride's dress & accessories
Flower arrangements for ceremony and reception, plus bouquets for bridesmaids and flower girl
All photos and videos
Pays for and plans bridesmaid luncheon
All professional services for reception, including drinks, entertainment, etc.
Professional services (event planners)- THAT'S US!
Groom's ring
Invitations, stationery, wedding programs, etc. Transportation for bridal party
Groom and groom's family:
Marriage license and officiant's fee
Tux and accessories
Bride's bouquet, boutonnieres for men, and corsages for (grand)mothers
Honeymoon
Rehearsal Dinner
Bachelor's Dinner
Both of the bride's rings
Most people think that the bride and bride's family has to pay for more of the wedding, but once you add it all up, it's pretty even. Especially if they plan on going somewhere really neat for their honeymoon! All in all, this is supposed to be one of the best days of your life so don't stress out over money. My number one rule: pick your budget and stick to it.
And remember to call us if you need any sort of professional help- even if it's just the day-of. We're more than happy to help!
