Your wedding day: it’s the day you’ve dreamt about forever. The most important day of your life and a time of cherished memories. So it has to be perfect – for you, for your family and for all the friends that have gathered from far and wide to wish you well in your new life together.
Typically, there may be anything up to 500 guests at an Asian wedding or even more. That means a large venue, a lot of catering, flowers, photography, entertainment, music, a cake... If you fail to keep a track of it, your spending could spiral out of control or you could overspend on one element at the expense of something else.
As any good Asian Wedding Planner will tell you, there is the need to set a realistic budget from the outset. Then you will know what you’re looking for and where you stand at each stage of the way. If you make savings in one area, this will allow you a little extravagance in another area – without blowing the budget. An experienced Asian Wedding Planner can be an invaluable asset when it comes to setting your budget. They will know what you should expect to pay for all the vital elements of your dream wedding and they can offer help and advice on where it’s important to spend your money and where the best savings can be made. Even though you’ll pay for their services, their specialist knowledge and skills of negotiation should easily save you more.
How to set your wedding budget
One of your earliest tasks in organising your wedding must be to sit down and work through a budget planner. This is where wedding planner websites can really help: for example, the OccAsianZ website has a free budget tool that you can download. Then it’s simply up to you to fill in the figures, either working back from your total budget or building up towards a final figure. Then as you go about booking each element, you’ll be able to track whether you’re on target or veering off course.
The brilliance of using a budget planner like this is that it means you are less likely to forget an important item at the early stages that will then have to be squeezed into your budget during later planning. Just think of a list of what needs to be budgeted for, quickly in your head. Did you get all of these?
It’s a lot to think about and, if you do it on your own, a huge amount of research is required to find the best price for exactly what you’re looking for. With the help of professional Asian Wedding Planner, you’ll be tapping into a wealth of experience and a vast resource of wedding contacts. You’ll still make all the decisions, but with the reassurance of having an expert at your side – and you won’t have a budget meltdown threaten your special day.
