Wedding Budget

I am starting to prepare my budget, but I am not sure how much I should budget for the extra stuff (petal cones, cry packs, slipper basket, etc.) Does anyone have an idea ??? TIA

Re: Wedding Budget

well, if you are on a tight budget (like me) i would set the budget for everything else first. things like petal cones and cry packs are truly NOT necessary and should only be considered as 'extras' if you have it. those little things can truly add up!

Re: Wedding Budget

i agree with setting the extras until the end.. i did all of the diy first and it was lots of money...... save towards the end when you see you have extra cash put aside!!

Re: Wedding Budget

Agreeing with what everyone has said, do the big stuff first and worry or adjust the little detailed stuff if you have the $$.

Think about what is most important to you -- is it flowers? music? dress?? Everyone has different priorities in what they'd love to see at THEIR ONCE IN A LIFETIME WEDDING.

So, don't stress too much and focus on what you *want*
