Is it too late to decrease cost when couple weeks away from wedding?

Shanique, on August 17, 2019 at 12:14 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

I am currently about 3 weeks away from my wedding. Just me and my mom are paying for the wedding, FH does not have a good paying job and he did not want a big wedding (He tells me all the time hes sorry that hes unable to help me) . I spoke with my planner and she said my wedding isn't fully at a WOW factor and so I told her to add about $10,000 thinking my previous payments were almost done. We spoke about this almost a month ago, well 3 weeks away from the wedding she sends me the updated budget and it is way more than I thought I could afford which is leading me to anxiety, crying and debating to take out a loan for the wedding (which I do not want to do), and I can't even tell FH how much it is. With that being said would it be too late to tell her to remove some of these stuff after she already contacted the vendors?

    I would definitely tell her to remove the extras! It seems like she pushed you into agreeing to get stuff that you couldn't afford..... did you tell her your budget?

    I would! You DO NOT want your wedding to put you in debt! Don’t feel bad for letting your wedding planner know. It’s YOUR day and you don’t want that kind of financial burden to ruin it.

    Tell her right away! It’s not too late to make adjustments unless the contracts have been signed. You do not want to enter into a marriage hiding your finances from your spouse so regardless, I’d be open with him about the cost.

    Unless contracts have been signed, I'd take it off. I also think it is rude of her to say it doesn't have the WOW factor. Everyone is there to celebrate you and your significant other. All you need is food and booze and you don't have to be extravagant with either.

    It’s your wedding!! It will still have a wow factor, you need to decide what’s important or not and your stress level is priority.
