What funds are available
at your disposal
as wedding expenses?
Remember
that you both need to live after the wedding |
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
expenses will your wedding consist of?
(Jewellery,
Attire, Music, Videography... etc.) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
priority will you assign to them?
Mark
C, D or E against each item
C
- Cosmetic, D - Desirable and
E
- Essential Requirement |
|
|
| |
|
What
are the estimated costs of each item that you listed in
'3'?
To
do this you may need to call quotations from the
respective
suppliers of
each item of your listed expenses.
It is a good idea to
request quotation
from more than
one supplier to identify the going ranges of
rates.

Now...!
Let's try to cut the coat according to the cloth.
Re-visit
your wish list and ask yourself these
questions
against each
item?
|
|
|
|
-
Identify more items in the list that can be marked with
'C' (Cosmetic Requirement)
-
Find more cost effective means of meeting those items
marked with 'E'? Consider less expensive supplier within
your standards, Discount Schemes, Gift vouchers etc.
-
Remove
all cosmetic requirements...? (Items which you have marked
with 'C'-) If you cannot, then it is no longer a 'C'
category item.
|
|
| |
|
Can
you also.. reduce the numbers/quantities involved...?
Number
of guests :
Not
every guest need to be invited for both receptions - wedding
and home coming.
Size
of the wedding group :
Reconsider
the number of bride's maids, best men, flower girls, page boys
etc..etc.. |
