Planning a wedding is not a child’s play
whether you engage a wedding planner or not. It is very challenging and
demanding because it requires thorough planning and of course money. The funds
you have will go a long way in determining your type of wedding. But since
Nigerians love weddings and it is once in a lifetime, they go all out and they
don’t mind breaking the bank. Regardless, if you are not careful, you will make
some monumental money mistakes when planning your wedding. Not to worry, today we identify some of these mistakes.
Talk about
the budget
There is
no gainsaying that you must have a budget when planning your wedding. However,
you must ensure that you discuss the budget with your bride or groom. This will
ensure that both of you are on the same page when the spending eventually
starts.
You don’t
put a price to whatever you are shopping for
The prices
of groceries and other items have significantly increased. Therefore, it is
smart if you put a price on nearly everything to make your shopping easier. You
can get the prices of whatever you want to buy online by going window shopping.
Sticking
to your budget
Sticking
to your budget when planning your wedding is not advisable because emergency
expenses will always come up. You should make arrangement for these extra
expenses so that you will not be caught in a web.
Not making arrangements on how to
recoup money
This may
be funny but you should do it anyway. You should make arrangements for how to
recoup some of your wedding expenses. You should employ a live band and make
sure there is time for couple’s dancing on the list of things to do. This way
you will get some money to settle certain expenses.
Borrowing
to finance your wedding
You should
never borrow money to finance your wedding because you will have to pay back
after tying the knot. You may end up paying for debts in the first few months
of your wedding which doesn’t leave a good taste in the mouth.
