These days the cost of weddings can add up quickly. One minute you are planning a small, budget-friendly event and the next you have racked up tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt. It is no wonder so many marriages end up needing a divorce attorney. Couples get caught up in the planning and excitement and never bother thinking about whether they want to be married to one another for the rest of their lives. Next thing you know, a divorce lawyer is handling their split. If you want a unique wedding that truly conveys your feelings for your new spouse, but you want to start your marriage off on the right financial foot, consider a do it yourself wedding. This will save you a lot of money but it will take a great deal of effort and time.
The first thing you need to do is make sure your wedding date is set far enough in the future so you have enough time to get your plans together and create your wedding magic. Next, set a budget that is reasonable and affordable. Do it yourself weddings have a tendency to spiral out of control just like a traditional wedding. Some of the same problems still exist, like the constantly expanding guest list, but you can also get so overwhelmed by creativity, it is hard to stop. If you have a budget, it will help you stay on track when all your creative ideas are popping up all over the place.
Some brides get overwhelmed by the entire do it yourself options that are out there. Make your decisions based on how large your wedding is going to be. For instance, if you are only having 20 of your closest friends and relatives attending your ceremony and reception, it probably is reasonable to think you could bake your own cake or have family help you put together a great menu of delicious food.
However, if you are looking at a guest list that tops out around 100, this is far less reasonable. You can still add plenty of your own touches to a larger wedding, as long as they require a limited amount of effort from you on the big day. You can make your own invitations and favors and still have no trouble focusing on your wedding when the day comes. You could also make your own dress, make attendant's gifts, or create a bunch of really great decorations. Just be sure you have the support you need to handle what needs to be done on the day of the wedding.
The last thing you want is to be caught up in preparation and not have time to enjoy the day and look forward to being a bride. Do it yourself weddings have a tendency to overwhelm brides as much as they save them money because they are in complete control. When the wedding day comes, it can be tough to give up that control because you have invested so much of yourself in the planning. Relax, let your friends and family support you and do your best to be a beautiful bride.
