How do brides and grooms alike determine what their wedding budget should be? Easy: what can you afford?
Wedding Change Jar - Mookie Gifts.com
Some couples drop change into a Wedding Fund jar, some create a savings account, and some just like to wing it. Try to set aside a certain amount per month or a certain percentage of each paycheck. You could even determine a target amount that you want to spend for your wedding.
Your style should help in determining your budget. If you’re the kind of couple that likes to party and celebrate, you may want to have a bigger budget for a bar, band or DJ, and larger guest list. More guests equal a higher price tag. If you’re a more simple, relaxed couple, you may want a smaller budget to share your wedding day with close family and friends.
Either way, once you figure out what you can afford, stick to it! You came up with that amount for a reason.

Happy Planning!
