Budget

The next step to a successful DIY wedding is to set up a budget. Take each one of the categories mentioned in the last post along with things such as: clothes, gifts, venue, food etc. For a better list and a budgeting tool try www.theknot.com and get an account. I cannot mention enough that theknot.com is one of the best resources you could use. This budgeting tool will help you keep track of everything you need to pay for.

Once you have a general budget then put all the things you need to pay for in order of your priorities. This way you will know what to spend money on. There is always a way to cut the budget and the biggest is to DIY everything you can. Always keep the budget handy you never know when you will figure out a way to cut it or to change it. You want to keep all your numbers together.
