Wedding Plan on a Budget

Last month I attended the wedding anniversary of my friend William and his wife Cynthia. On being asked how he felt, William replied," I never realized the true meaning of happiness, until I got married to Cynthia; but it was too late by then."

Jokes apart; a marriage is perhaps the most important decision in a person's life; and this might be one of the reasons why people often get carried away and end up exceeding their budget.

Now, if are the chairperson of Microsoft Inc. then overspending may not actually affect you, but if you are a regular guy with an average income, then you must always take care to see to it that you are not overspending.

Marriage plan on a budget is definitely a tightrope walk for those who wish to have a wedding, simply because your fiancée wants a lavish wedding whereas you are focusing on the financial aspect. This may have serious consequences in future. Now, just when you have thought that you have lost all hopes; there is good news for you. Yes, you can have a fairly lavish wedding at a shoe string budget. All you need to do is to keep the following points in your mind.

Starting with the wedding ring; you need to look out for a wedding ring that appears elegant, yet is on the lower side of the price. You will find a lot many options in the market. What you need to do is see to it that, you keep your eyes open for such products.

Next, we have the wedding dress. A very common way of cutting down on costs is to settle for a second hand tuxedo or wedding gown. You may feel it odd, but ultimately you have to realize that in all probability, you will not wear it again. And, once the wedding is over, you can re-sell it. Of course, you should remember not to invite the person who sold you the weeding dress; for obvious reasons of course. You can also go for a wedding dress on rent counter.

You can also cut down on the wedding expenses, by avoiding a professional photographer. You can always find a kid in your locality, which would do the job for you in half the cost.

You can also cut down on the wedding card expenses. Settle for Microsoft publisher instead, which would give you the same results in virtually no cost.

You can also get wedding planner software installed at your home P.C. This would also help you in reducing your wedding costs by a considerable margin.

If you take care of the above mentioned rules, then I am sure, you would be able to achieve your goal.
