The Wedding Budget One of the first steps in planning a wedding should be determining the budget.
Weddings can be very expensive, so it is a good idea to know what to expect ahead of time.
If you don t keep up with all the costs from the start, you could commit yourself to more than you realize. Even extra long distance phone calls need to be factored in to the budget to avoid expenses getting out of hand. Traditionally, the bride s family has incurred most of the cost of the wedding. The groom s family traditionally pays for the rehearsal dinner and the honeymoon. However, if one family is better able to absorb the costs, it is certainly acceptable for that family to volunteer pay for more than their customary share.
