BUDGET PLANNER

The greatest impact on your budget will be the number of guests you invite. From invitations to rentals, catering to centerpieces, the majority of your wedding expenses are affected by the total guest count. So first things first– compose your guest list (including your bridal party) and set your budget. Next, peruse the potential expenditures below and determine your priorities.

USING THE BUDGET MANAGER The percentages that appear in the Suggested column are just guidelines. They’ll change based on your priorities. Remember, when you increase the expenditure in one category, you decrease the available budget for the remaining categories. To calculate the Suggested Budget per category, simply multiply your Total Budget by the Suggested Percentage.

For example: $60,000 (total budget) x 5.00% (suggested percentage) = $3,000
