Bad-Ass Weddings

Posts Tagged ‘Budget’

So, I took this shopping quiz to find out what kind of shopper I am and it turns out I am a Frugal Fashionista! This comes as no great suprise to me, since I have great taste and hate to pay full price for anything.  I mean really, what do those fantastic shoes have to cost so much!?

Before you plan a wedding, you need to know what kind of shopper you are.  The kind of shopper you are says a lot about your personality.  If you are a frugal fashionista like me, you probably are a pretty realistic person.  If you find that your shopping style is like a fairy princess, you might need to keep an extra eye on the bank account – or marry a millionaire. If you’re an impulse buyer who later feels remorse, wedding planning is going to suck for you! You’ll spend your honeymoon looking for debt consolidation! It’s so important to get your spending under control before you start planning a wedding.

If you’re not planning on hiring a wedding planner, then the budgeting is going to be all up to you! Make a strict budget and stick to it! Even if you go off budget a little bit and spend an extra $200 on your cake, go into your budget and take $200 off of another category. You have to make sure that money doesn’t just continue to pile up.  A better cake might mean compromising on the party favors you had in mind. This is fine, just don’t over-do it.
