3 Tips to save so you can pay for your wedding
You got engaged and now you are wondering how you could pay for your wedding.

Weddings can be pretty expensive specially in countries like ours. And also because you want it to 
be special and that entails cost. Well we don't want to waste any moment so here are 3 things to consider


1. Choose a date  

Planning a wedding to a year is ideal. If you have all the time to make it two just to accomodate all family requests or because of some job assignments or whatever it may be so much to better to have all the time to prepare. Weddings has too many details and you could only to so much. For some it will be 6 months prior and that would be fine. Now from that given date that you have you can decide how much the budget would be. 

For example, you and your fiance would like to spend 100,000 pesos. Then you can talk about how you would go about it with the time frame that you have. 

2. Make Priorities

As I've said in the past to make a wedding an event to remember choose 3 things to splurge for and the rest you can either spend reasonably or save. 

For example choose 3 things to prioritize among: Venue, Food, Attire, Videographer, Photo, Music and Transportation.

If you chose Food, Music and Photo this would mean that a higher portion of your budget can be spend with this. While you can save on transportation just by using your own car or borrowing a friend's car. While you get to savor delicious food from a renowned caterer, you get a band and you get a very good photographer to capture the event to last.

3. Talk about it with no Expectations

And of course while most women want a King and Queen like wedding, we should be reasonable to see a wedding as a union to our beloved and not an event to show off . This is more than just an event or gathering this is us ladies giving and making a vow to God that we will love the man no matter what and we would stood by them. So both parties should talk it out, agree and decide TOGETHER.
