How to Allocate Your Budget
Start with your non-negotiables — the things that matter most to you (venue? photographer? band?). Allocate 60-70% of your budget to these priorities. Then fill in secondary categories. Consider what guests will remember: food quality, music, and photos/video tend to have the highest impact on guest experience.
Budget-Saving Wedding Tips
Get married on a Friday or Sunday (20-30% cheaper than Saturday). Choose a non-peak season (January-March). Limit the open bar to beer and wine. Use in-season flowers. Consider a brunch or lunch reception (lower catering cost). Hire a photography student or newer professional. Use digital invitations. Ask skilled friends/family to contribute their talent as a gift.
