How many times have you said "When I get married, I want...."? Now you are getting married and the Budget comes into play and you come to the realization that what you wanted isn't in the budget at all. What can you do ... "Cut your guest list by 10 guest" that's right, if you cut your guest list by 10 guest you could have enough left in your budget to splurge on something you really wanted for your Wedding Day. Here is a sample of what happens...
Food and Bar $60.00 per person = $600.00
Chair cover & Sash $ 4.00 per person = $ 40.00
Centerpiece $60.00 per table = $ 60.00
Invitations $ 5.00 per invite = $ 50.00
Programs $ 2.00 per person = $ 20.00
Favors $ 4.00 per person = $ 40.00
Cake $ 5.00 per person = $ 50.00
Just what I have listed (and it still does not cover everything) can save you $860.00!!!
That could be enough to get something you didn't think you could afford such as the Limo or Carriage you always dreamed of, the upgrade on the photography. The possibilities are endless when you take away just 10 guest, 1 table.
Look over your guest list many times and think about things such as.....
When is the last time I spoke to or saw.......
Do I really need to invite my friends...friend.....
Do all my co-workers really need to be invited....
They are just Business acquaintances......
You get the idea, so dig into that Guest list and mark off some of those guest so that you can have the one thing you have always wanted for your Wedding Day.
What's been going on in "My Life"
I have been busy with weddings and family. We welcomed another Grandson into the family on August 5th. He is adorable and on September 8th we welcomed yet another Grandson who is equally adorable. This has kept me very busy along with the weddings that I love doing.
I hope to post pitures soon of past weddings and of Grandchildren soon. We will be welcoming another Grand-Daughter in October....I am so excited!
Take care...
