PLANNING & BUDGETNG


Tips, ideas &
how-tos

The only thing the Groom has to remember all through the planning and budgeting stages of the wedding is that without him there is no wedding! And there is no truth to the rumour that all he has to do is arrive at the wedding on time in his tux.

The engagement period is a good time for couples to work together. It is also the time when they will understand who really makes most of the big decisions, if you haven't figured that out already. You are your bride-to-be's "Tower-of-Strength" through this planning  of your wedding. She will be looking for you for comfort, decisions and approvals.

Your fiancée will probably be preparing a 2" three ring binder to use as a production book for your wedding. You could also do the same. We've also suggested A-Z dividers and a package of sub-dividers with tabs and pockets to create separate alphabetical categories.

This system helps you to have ready access to information you're responsible for. You may want to divide your information by separators marked: Engagement, Wedding Ceremony, Reception, Honeymoon and so on. Make it easy for yourself so that when you have to find an important piece of information you know exactly where it is. You and your Best Man can share the book.

To see a list for what the Groom usually pays for click here. It is important for you, your bride and the families to establish how much money you want to spend on your wedding so that you can establish a preliminary budget.

Several of the items you are listing as expenses may also be listed on your Gift Registries.

Budget List for the Groom: traditional expenses
• Flowers for Groom and Attendants.

BUDGETS

There are two kinds of budgets usually connected with weddings. A traditional wedding takes approximately 14-16 months to plan. However, an elopement can take anywhere from a weekend to two weeks and they both include the honeymoon!

• The first kind of budget is one you set before planning your celebration. You do this by setting an amount you want to spend and working your plans backwards so that it fits into your pre-set figure.
• The second is to establish your budget after you've researched and developed when, where, what to wear and who will attend.
1. When: Several scheduling elements enter into setting the date for your wedding.
2. Where: Where the ceremony will actually take place.
3. What to Wear: tux or no tux.
4. Who will attend: Your guest list will depend on your reception venue and your budget, and sometimes the demands of your family.
