    Both? We are constantly trying to save where we can so we both control it. If you want to get technical though it's me because I'm doing most everything.

    We came up with the overall total together, but I am the one who broke it out and detailed how it could be accomplished. Smiley smile his role is to make sure I follow it!

    Me, I'm good with budgeting and staying on track. But he is involved

    Definitely me - however he did weigh in / approve all the major vendor decisions (venue, DJ, floral, photo) which really drives the vast majority of the budget

    We didn’t have a strict budget but I kept track of the pricing for all the vendors. My dad and I discussed pricing for the catering and venue because he offered to pay for that. Everything else my husband and I discussed before making final decisions. The only thing I didn’t track as diligently were all the trips to Michael’s...

    We crafted the budget together, but he is in charge of maintaining the budget. We have very different perspectives, and my partner is a much more pragmatic thinker than I.

    Both, I guess? I was the one doing the legwork on the planning and making most of the decisions, but he was the one writing the checks. I didn't make decisions without talking them over with him first, but he had no clue how much things cost until I told him.

    It's mutual. We both don't believe in overspending, but are spending within our means!

    We're both in charge of it, were paying for it ourselves with his parents paying for our rehearsal dinner. We set a budget at 10K which we quickly learned is hard to stay on budget but we're trying and doing our best to cut costs without completely compromising what we want from our wedding

    Both of us are. She’ll probably contribute a little more, but we’re doing it together.

    I'm the one who handles the budget, I'm better with numbers and have more free time since he works full time
