Don't go too crazy!

Hey! Remember your Budget when it comes to your wedding day plans.

What do we mean by this... well lots of things.

Keep in mind that most wedding vendors will "nickel and dime" you. I know this sounds bad on the vendors part but this is not a bad thing at all. It is just a way vendors enlighten you on options that maybe you never thought of. But the crucial thing is to decide which of these options is important to you.

For instance... have you ordered invitations yet? Did you know that there is an additional fee for having your return address put on the back of your invitation envelope? True, it is a minimal fee but these minimal fees do add up. To cut this expense you can use your own return labels or print them on the envelopes yourself.

A lot of Brides and Grooms will order special Cake and Beverage napkins with their name and wedding date on them. Not necessary if the Reception facility offers their free napkins.
Some reception facilites will offer to have fancy chair covers on all of the chairs. Now granted this adds a very elegant and beautiful look to your reception but in may not be worth the extra expense to you.

The simple advice here is to just be aware of the "nickel and dime" stuff that comes along as you plan for your wedding and reception. Look into all the options and decide what is important to you.
