Emphasize the Essentials

It’s time for another list. This one is very important because it will
save you time and help you to keep within your budget.

You need to list every relevant item that each of you can think of which you need or want to buy between now and your wedding.

Then, draw all the essential expenses into a new list. Things likesupplier’s accounts, stationery, minister’s fee, hire of venues, registrations, passports, insurance, accommodation (for guests and
the honeymoon) etc.

Now you should review the remaining items together and remove
any that are very low priority, then save the remainder on a list
called something like “if possible”.

Your budget needs to have an untouchable cushion as well as the
amount set aside for each item in the two new lists.
If you manage to reduce the cost of something you listed, move the
amount actually saved to the cushion or use it to promote
something from the “if possible” to the must have list”.

If you are unsure, then put it in the cushion for a while.Who Pays for What
Like many things that were laid down as L-A-W for all weddings in
past days, the decisions about who pays for what are observed to
varying degrees by people today who are more realistic and decide
who pays according to ability and whether the couple actually need
or want help in that area.

The bride’s parents traditionally paid all the expenses of the
wedding but that was really a relic of the old view which had a girl
worth less than her brothers. The bride’s parents either paid the
expenses or a dowry (cash or cattle) to the groom for taking her off
their hands. Things have changed.

Many times, both sets of parents share the costs or the bride and
groom pay the bulk or all of the expenses themselves.
It depends on the ability and willingness of each to contribute.
