We recently came across an article on Credit Card Insider, {“Financial Advice for Wedding Planning”}, which features a list of compiled tips from their community to help newly engaged couples plan for some of the biggest financial decisions ahead. We loved their advice so much that we wanted to share it:
The reality is that each bride is going to have a unique budget, and with that comes decisions on which aspects of the wedding are worth splurging - or saving - on. The important thing is to always be open and honest with your future spouse, or whoever is helping you pay for the expenses, as you don’t want to start your marriage off on the wrong foot or worse… in exuberant debt.
While it’s only natural to want to pull of the wedding of your dreams, keep in mind that the financial decisions that go into planning your wedding will carry over into your marriage. Don’t begin your new life together in thousands of dollars of debt because you blew your budget! Use this {wedding budget calculator} to help you stay on track.
