 1- Start by deciding what type of wedding you'll like.  A traditional or civil service ceremony.  Will it be a Spring/Summer or Fall/Winter wedding?  The number of attendees will help you determine the size of your wedding, 20-25 people is small and intimate event, or large and extravagant 150-200 people affair. The type and size of wedding will help play a role in your incurred expenses.

2- Setting realistic expectations - your Budget. Once you have selected the type and estimated your budget, the use of worksheets will help you maximize and manage the spending on each aspect of your wedding.

3- Setting timelines. Give your self enough time for planning 12-18 months in advance is ideal. Most wedding venues and suppliers are book  a year in advance, last minute availabilities will be hard to secure.

4- Get help! - Hire an Event/Wedding Planner.  Not only do they offer an invaluable services they are able to negotiate contracts, manage your budget, insure that everything is running smoothly.  They will save you time and money in the long run.

5- Get the most for your money, use company that specialize in wedding planning and offer more that one service.  The offer of great packages with specials and discounts.  Make sure to review the information and ask plenty of questions. Don't sign contract unless you clearly understand the stipulations. 

6- Price estimates and comparisons are a must. Take notes, make inquires, the last  thing you want to do is make a purchase on impulse. Going shopping with more that 2 people usually contribute to impulse purchases. 

7- Use Plastic! It's easier to keep track purchases made with a credit or debit card.  Many business will not honor personal checks or have various stipulations affection your purchase.  Cash or Money Order should be your last resort.

8- Get it in writing.  You should have written proof to keep you safe.  Most establishments, vendors or business owners will not honor changes or claims with out proof.

 9- Consider not serving alcohol. You may be held liable if the establishment does not have the appropriate insurance and/or licensure. Serving wine instead of champagne can be a safety major.

 10- Finds ways to save. Consider making your own flower basket, ring pillow, bridal party gifts, flower girl headpiece, table center piece, etc.  Enlist the   assistance of brides mates and family member instead of paying for these services.
