They say money is the root of all evil, so when it comes to planning a budget wedding, don\u2019t let it get the best of you. Determine the most important aspects of your wedding day and budget them first. Once that\u2019s out of the way, decide what you are willing to trim.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the meal is number one, then focus your efforts on presenting a great and memorable dinner instead of wowing everyone in the ballroom of a five star hotel. If dancing the night away is a must, then make sure the DJ or band is precedence. Don\u2019t stretch yourself thin by trying to have a little bit of everything.

Your friend who enjoys spare time on Photoshop might be happy to design invites and programs. Plenty of women you know have married before you, so ask about buying and tailoring their dresses.

And in the end, don\u2019t forget why you\u2019re having a wedding. Because you\u2019re getting married, and that is what the day is truly about. Don\u2019t let your happily ever after become getting out of debt, never.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
