Many couples will have their wedding on a budget this year. Due to the economy and the changes that the pandemic brought, it is only to be expected. Your wedding on a budget can still be exciting, fun, and memorable. You just have to plan it right. As a budget bride, there are some tools you’ll need for your wedding. They’ll help you stay organized while planning your celebration. It’ll also help to make your planning a lot more stress-free. So, without further ado, here are eight things that every budget bride must have to plan their wedding in a stress-free way.
A Checklist App
Technology can be a great help for budget brides. A simple search will show you lots of free online and mobile checklist apps. They’ll tell you what to do and when to do it. Like when to search for uplighting rental and get a DIY company to ship you great options. They won’t take the place of a wedding planner in your life, but combining that with your own skills will come pretty close.
A To-Do List
When meeting with your planner, writing out what you want your wedding to look like can help to make the process easier and faster. It also helps to ensure that you do not forget anything. If you can put down perfectly what you want, you can then together with your planner create a plan and timeline that will ensure a successful, stress-free wedding planning.
A Budget Calculator
It is quite easy for a wedding to become bigger and more expensive than you have planned. Wedding budget calculators are a great way to solve the problem. A budget calculator has categories where you can allocate amounts based on research to vendors. With that, you can get a good overall estimate of what your total budget is and stick to it. It also helps you discover things like how you are getting your pipe and drape weddings shipped from a DIY rental company is way cheaper than working with a local vendor.
A Seating Planner
A seating planner can also be a great tool to assist you in your wedding planning. It can help in easily arranging who sits where and with whom. Alongside input and ideas from your wedding planner, you can then get a final draft, which you then print out for use on that day. The key here is that visualization makes things easier.
A Wedding Website
With a wedding website, you can put all the information you need your guests to know in one place. Even your vendors can use it too. Addresses, schedules, GPS coordinates, and other relevant information. You can even create an FAQ section to answer whatever possible questions your guests might have. Some websites also make the gathering of your RSVP information easier, and you can link your gift registry to your website too.
Vendor Contract Templates
Rather than get stressed, you can find vendor contract templates online and use them for your transactions. Just make sure you find the ones that best describe what you want, and you can also tweak them to your advantage.
A Guest List
This is one of the fundamentals of wedding planning. You cannot plan a wedding without knowing how many people you are planning for. You can make it more extensive by adding special notes next to each guest that state things like dietary requirements, which side of the family they’re on, and whether they’d be coming with a plus one or kids.
A Day of Plan
Also known as your wedding day schedule, you need this document to be solid. You can also enlist the help of your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and even parents to keep things running smoothly. From handling tips to ushering guests and answering whatever questions might arise, it will delight your family members and friends to lend their help. They can also help you hand out favors and generally ensure that your day goes according to plan while you relax and have a great time at your wedding.
Planning your wedding on a budget might be a little tasking, but could end up very rewarding. There is nothing quite like seeing all that you have planned come together in a successful way. You’ll not only save yourself extra costs but will feel very fulfilled. Best of luck!!!
