A wedding is a holiday that many people look forward to. However, a wedding celebration is always associated with material costs. In order not to get into an unpleasant situation, it is better to draw up a wedding budget in advance so that you are ready for anything.
Instructions
Step 1
For the convenience of calculations, you can make a list where all the details that require money will be entered. Start with the elements of the bride's image: dress, shoes, handbag, bouquet, cape, veil, underwear, stockings or tights, as well as hairstyle, manicure, makeup (if you go to a beauty salon), plus you will need it anyway hair ornaments and styling products. Write down the jewelry as well, if you are going to wear it, of course.
Step 2
Next, write down the wedding rings, groom's suit, boutonniere, shirt, tie, belt, shoes.
Step 3
If you will be ordering a wedding procession, include it in the list. If you have friends or relatives who will help you with the cars, write down decorations for them. But all the same, you will most likely have to order a minibus or a minibus for guests.
Step 4
Also write down the tapes for the witnesses and calculate how much money you need to buy the bride. List a few bottles of wine or champagne and a snack that you will drink with guests before going to the registry office or give away on redemption.
Step 5
After the bride's ransom, it is customary to arrange a small buffet table, for which champagne and fruits are put on the table. This also needs to be considered when budgeting.
Step 6
Find out at the registry office how much the ceremony costs and include it in the list. In addition, you may be offered additional services: pigeons, live music, a cover for a marriage certificate, photographs in a special room, and even a gypsy with a bear. Think about what exactly you would like to order and put everything on your list.
Step 7
If you are going to resort to the services of a professional photographer and operator, this will also require material costs. In addition, you can order a professional toastmaster who will have to pay for the work and souvenirs for the contests. Some weddings also have separate DJs.
Step 8
If you plan to go for a drive around the city after the registry office, include in the list a few more bottles of champagne and a snack for guests, as well as, if you wish, flowers that you will put at the monuments.
Step 9
If you are going to rent a restaurant or cafe, in addition to the rental fee, you will have to spend money on alcohol, fruit and slices, since usually such organizations provide only hot dishes and salads. Calculate the number of guests: the cost of the menu will depend on this.
Step 10
Of course, do not forget about the wedding cake, which you also need to add to the list.
Step 11
After you take into account and write down everything that will require money from you, go to various stores and organizations or find out on the Internet the approximate prices for each of your items. Add up all the prices and add at least 5,000 more for contingencies.
