Budget-

Camilla, on October 12, 2019 at 8:02 AM Posted in Planning 0 8

My stepmom on a fixed income offered to pay for our venue and my MOH offered to pay for our photographer,.

I really appreciate all of their help. I am paying for the wedding and my FH is paying for the honeymoon. I plan on using gift money to help with honeymoon costs.

How are you splitting your budget costs?

    We are paying for everything ourselves. We share our finances, so nothing wedding related is split between the two of us, it's all paid together.

    H and I payed for everything ourselves. A few weeks before the wedding my parents gave us a cash gift of $500 that we used to pay off the cake balance but it wasn’t given to us to be used as wedding money- it was a birthday present that I just used that way.

    We opened a joint savings and had a portion of our pay checks deposit for the wedding each week. My parents gave us money to pay towards the venue. His mom has been helping when she can on the honeymoon and helped us pay it off. Majority of the wedding decorations came from my pocket and I would just tell my FH what I needed him to buy to help me. The big vendors we would use money from our savings for deposits and final payments since we get married in December. I didn't really tell FH about cost since I would try to get deals lol I just told him after I used this amount or bought this with the savings or book someone. Just keep communication open with your family and let them express their opinion since they are helping. We even sold items that we never used to help cover some cost of the wedding. Good luck

    We are paying for everything ourselves. My parents offered money but we politely refused. We want it our way so we are paying.

    FH is taking over all household related things and I’m covering the venue. We are splitting the honeymoon and my future cousin in law is paying for the DJ. Future in laws are also supporting the honeymoon fund and my parents are also supporting financially in many other areas.

    We are paying for everything. We joined our finances right after we got engaged, so it's coming from both of us.

    We paid for everything ourselves and went in 50/50! My parents gave us a huge wedding gift, but we're saving that money for the construction of our new home.
