Counting the Cost
You are so excited. Best day ever….You are engaged! Congratulations!!
You are in a state of euphoria for about seven days. All those ideas and dreams that have been tucked away for years can now be dusted off and set into motion…OH HOW EXCITING!
Then, reality sets in. How much will this cost????
Let’s face it, most people have bigger dreams than budgets. So, how do you reign this in?
Unless you are in the event industry, you probably will have no idea what a wedding will cost. How much of the budget should be allocated to the venue? What is the going rate for flowers? How many people can actually be invited while maintaining the budget?
How much would it cost to have a wedding at the beach versus the mountains? Or better yet, you want an affair with 75 guests but your parents believe that it’s no big deal to have another 25 or so guests. How much more will these additional 25 people cost?
All these questions can be a bit overwhelming. Not to mention, it is time consuming to research the options. Once you commit to an idea, it is very hard to change course. Planning a wedding is another job and any tool that can make things easier is a welcome addition. And guess what, there is such a thing!!!
Here you can enter all types of parameters to obtain a cost estimate within seconds. Yes, seconds, not hours. You can create as many estimates as you would like and compare your options.
We know that getting married is such an exciting time; but, it remains exciting if you are well informed. Don’t go shopping until you have used the Cost Estimator Tool; and, once you have figured out your budget, talk to your favorite planner (me!) about making this dream a reality.
