Have you gone over budget?

If so - you're not alone!! Roughly half of couples spend more on their wedding than they originally planned! Have you gone over your budget already? Innocent or guilty? Next Question: Was the last text (or email) you sent about wedding planning? Back to the Beginning: Innocent or Guilty? ...

Innocent or guilty?

    No. Our budget is set, and I am great at staying exactly on or under budget. I price match to find the best deal on EVERYTHING

    Guilty! We were going to have a friend do our photos and then decided we just wanted her to be just a friend and not have to worry about it so we pretty much DOUBLED our photography budget!

    Guilty, I have a very miniscule budget at the moment and have currently went over it by about $2,000.00. Hopefully we can find that money somewhere. Lol

    Guilty, I have gone over in every category... so I made a new budget to fit my present cost; so now I'm no longer over budget😂😊

    Guilty! At this point, way over! Everything is sooo expensive! Every time I run into another aspect of this wedding I think "surely this couldn't be that expensive!", then surprise it is!

    Guilty. The budget has just been a guideline for me. I am aware of being over but I am not stressing over it.

    We didn’t really set a budget because we went into it not knowing how much things cost. That said we are spending more than we originally thought we’d spend.

    We did not have a hard budget, so nothing to go over. I just know what I'm able and not able to afford when selecting vendors and decor. Plus my FH is the first to say, we don't need that. Ugh, he's so annoying but so right. Lol

    Yes but it wasn’t my fault! My parents are paying for my wedding (God bless them) and I am doing everything I possibly can to stay under budget but my mom keeps getting stuff. So as long as she is good with it, I am not complaining 😊
