Keeping On Top Of Your Wedding Expenses
June 4th, 2010 | by admin |It is commonly accepted nowadays for couples to ask for money as wedding gifts but is this really ok with wedding guests?
Keeping on top of your accounts is of course vital when preparing a wedding.
All purchases and outgoings should be carefully budgeted for. For each item required a budget should be allocated to prevent you from overspending. Some brides allocated 1,000 for the dress, 100 per head for each meal and 2.00 per guest for a wedding favor.
But, when it comes to asking your guests to give you money as a gift, many [older] guests are not happy about this. From a brides point of view, it makes sense because many couples live together before their wedding and already have plenty of household items. Having said that, many guests do not like the idea of not knowing what the monetary gift has paid for.
Perhaps we should go back to tradition and give guests sugared almond wedding favors and graciously accept the proverbial toaster [or toasters!].
