💍 Wedding Planning in Uncertain Times? Start with a Smart Budget! 💰✨
Is the economy or job uncertainty adding stress to your wedding planning? You’re not alone! As a seasoned wedding planner who has guided couples through the 2008 recession, COVID-19, and now today’s challenges, I know how financial stress can impact your big day.
Before you book a venue, try on dresses, or hire vendors, take a step back and PLAN SMART.
📝 Here’s where to start:
✅ Talk Finances with Your Partner – Discuss job stability, emergency savings, and what happens if your income changes.
�✅ Build a Rainy Day Fund – Aim for 3–6 months of savings for essential expenses like housing, utilities, and food.�
✅ Set a Realistic Wedding Budget – Factor in your savings, not including your rainy day fund, family contributions, and top wedding priorities.
💡 Pro Tip: Not all wedding expenses are equal! Sit down together and list your Top 3 Must-Haves (e.g., dream venue, luxury photography, custom gown). Then, allocate your budget accordingly.
