Budget Worksheet
Before you begin to talk about wedding expenses, spend some time discussing
who will pay for the wedding. If people other than the two of you will pay
for your wedding, involve those people as you talk about and set a budget.
This budget sheet will help you keep track of your decisions and actual costs.
If you spend more on one item than your budget allows, balance it out by taking
that amount from another item. Remember, just because an item is listed
here doesn't mean it has to be part of your celebration.
