Wedding Budget
Intelligent Allocation for Your Special Day
Pro Tip: Always keep a 5-10% "Cushion" for unexpected costs like last-minute transport or overtime fees.
Crafting Your Financial Fairy Tale
A wedding is more than a party; it's an investment in a memory. Smart budgeting allows you to focus on the celebration rather than the cost.
The 50/30/20 Wedding Rule
Most wedding planners recommend the 50/30/20 split for a balanced event. This means 50% goes to the venue and catering (the experience), 30% to photography, music, and decor (the atmosphere), and 20% to miscellaneous costs, attire, and gifts.
Top 3 Hidden Costs
Service Fees & Gratuity
Catering contracts often add 20-24% in service fees that couples forget to model.
Setup & Teardown Fees
Rentals often include delivery and labor costs that aren't included in the item price.
