{How to Set a Budget}
Once you know what kind of wedding you want, both of you need to make a wish list of items, everything (both big and small) that you’d like to have at your wedding.
Then go through each other’s list and have a frank discussion about why each item is important to each of you. Then rank all of them in order of importance, making note of the top 2-3 items that are not negotiable for each of you.
Once you’ve ranked your list, come up with a budget of how much you’d like to spend on each item. And keep in mind that the budget you come up with now will probably double for the actual event. So be smart and set your budget well below what you really want, and can afford, to spend.
