| | Wedding Budget Planner |
Tying the knot used to involve a trip to the altar and a modest reception but modern couples are opting for more lavish affairs. The Wedding Report surveyed more than 3,620 brides and wedding vendors and found that the average wedding in 2008 cost $21,814 (down 24% from 2007 average of $28,704).
Regardless of how much you plan to spend on your nuptials, a wedding budget is essential. A budget will help you to determine what you need to pay for and how much you will spend on each aspect of the wedding. The following allocations are based on the average expenditures of other brides. Because every couple has different priorities and the cost of wedding services varies from state to state, use this planner as a rough guideline to get you started. |
