Budget - What Budget?
No money - that is how I feel right now. I planned a wedding budget and then I spent well beyond that budget before paying off the essentials for the wedding. Aw shucks! What did I go and do that for? Now what! Okay, so I have a plan to get the money back (legally) so that part is okay, but the lesson I learned is priceless.
1) Never spend more than you have. Even if it is on a credit card, STOP! This will come come back to haunt you.
2) Don't try to impress family. Just because you have friends or family coming over does not mean you have to spend lots of money. Hopefully they love you for you.
3) Budget all of life. If your life were on a strict budget, keeping the special occasion budget solid would be less of a problem. You have to think hard about that money and saving some for that rainy day!!!
These tips are just the start as I am still 20 days out and have not paid all the bills. Let's hope we can do what we need to do to keep the wedding moving!!!
