HOW TO BUDGET CORRECTLY FOR YOUR WEDDING?
Getting hitched and scared of spending too much money
on the wedding? Honestly, weddings can dig a huge hole
in your pocket. Planning a wedding budget is a strenuous
act but it is not impossible.
1) What kind of a wedding do you
desire?
The foremost task for you is to have
an overall gist about what kind of a
wedding do you desire? Ask
yourself if it is a big fat indian
wedding, or a small and tiny get
together inclusive of all the closed
ones. The wedding budget largely
depends upon the width of the
gathering. Be very sure if it is a
small or a grand wedding. You will
have a clear picture of how much
resources you are going to allocate
in the first step itself.
2) Budget Talk
Bride, Groom or The Parents, whosoever is
going to bear the expenses of the wedding, it
is necessary to talk to the people involved for
financing.To avoid hassles and inconvenience
later, it is always advised to have a discussion
prior to the festivities begin.
We know it gets awkward to ask who is willing
to spend and who isn’t, but trust us to avoid
any further trouble with the budgeting, it is
always better to talk in advance.
Budget Talk should necessitate all the nitty-
gritty details crucial for the big day.
3) IT IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
Aren’t some things and wishes just non-
negotiable? We hear you screaming YES!
It is always advised to list all those wishes that
you do no wish to settle for, be it a Pre-
Wedding Shoot, a star performance for your
wedding, or a theme based wedding. It is your
chance to say YES to the big things that have
always been on your Wedding Budget List.
The wishlist of the two of you might vary, and
it is better to talk over the non-negotiable after
deciding the negotiables. You can either pick
one, or if your pockets allow you to spend
then you might go on with the wishlist of both.
4) Research
Never stop Googling the significant details.
From the best Wedding Photographers in
town to the Best Venues there are of course
some details that might be obvious and
hidden. There is a lot that can only be seen
with the naked eye, so you really need an eye
to dig through the hidden costs.
Do not forget to check out the social profiles of
vendors, be it a Wedding Photographer or a
Venue Vendor. Take your time to go through
their Instagram, Youtube, Facebook and
Client Testimonials to have an insight of their
work.
These hidden costs can actually cut the costs
of the wedding budget on a whole. The pro tip
to a budget friendly wedding is to research till
the time you finalise the appropriate wedding
budget.
5) The Guest List
As we already know, the number of
people in the gathering makes up to
an influential increase in the
wedding budget. If you are running
on a low budget wedding
ceremony, then limiting the guest
list is the one best decision you can
inculcate in your wedding budget.
Counting the guests in advance will
determine the venue, cost of food,
alcohol (if applicable). Which
reasonably makes up to the two
most important costs for the
wedding.
6) Photographer/Videographer
A wedding is incomplete without you spending
on the photographer/videographer. If you plan
to do a Pre-Wedding Shoot too, it is always
advised to hire the same professionals for the
pre-wedding and wedding film shoot. You can
easily negotiate this way, and get the most
feasible deals by the
photographer/videographer.
For a budget friendly Pre-Wedding you can
opt for free Pre-Wedding locations like
Hauzkhas, Connaught Place or Lodhi garden
and if you plan to spend more, you can
choose paid location in Delhi or Outside Delhi,
you can even choose to shoot your Pre-
Wedding at Overseas locations, mainly like
Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong.
7) Venues
A venue requires you to invest the
highest cost in the entire wedding
planning procedure. To cut costs in
your wedding budget, try to look out
for venues that support your
budgeting. It is possible to actually
turn a minimalist venue into an
extravagant location these days.
Dig deeper into the gali’s and off
beat locations, the best pieces are
sometimes extracted from the most
unforeseen situations. These
offbeat venues can be cost effective
and outstanding for your wedding
day.
8) Skills for present?
A different and a valuable thought,
while planning your wedding budget
try to exchange the skills of the
relatives for the presents. It might
be a little awkward in the beginning
to suggest this idea to your friends
and family, but once you talk about
it; everyone is going to love it.
9) Don’t forget to keep a track of
the expenditure
It is a lot going on in and around the wedding
buzz. In an attempt to create the perfect
budget for your wedding it is very important to
keep a track on the expenditure. At the end of
the day, the tiny expenses can create a huge
overall amount. To avoid the expenses to bug
you later, it is advised to keep a track of the
nitty gritty expenses well in advance.
Having an estimation of the amount you are
willing to spend on your wedding can instantly
help you fix the appropriate budget.
Based on your monthly income and the
savings, take decisions to finance your
wedding.
10) The Overall Math
After keeping in mind all the
possible procedures for your
wedding budget, a calculation is a
must. Take into consideration every
amount that you have cared to
spend for the wedding. From the
dhol waale to the outfit, food,
venue, gifts everything is necessary
to be counted. This will help you to
compare the initial budget to final
expenses.
