I wish to have a useful guide to plan for a wedding in my family. Also I wish to make a full budget before hand. For this I wish to have useful tips and guidelines. Can someone suggest me a good site for finding this?

Weddings are big occasions, that often require a lot of planning, even with budgeting to create the cheapest options. Start by setting your budget. You must know how much you can actually spend so you can plan well. Then list down all the things that you will need according to priority.

There are now some online solutions, which do just a great job. A wedding planner who specializes in creating a great wedding day celebration can be the best option. You see, the wedding planner has the contacts. They know where to look to get the best of everything, and get the best prices.

My cousin is getting married in one year from now, him and his fiance don’t have much money
so they set a 3k budget.

They want to invite 150 people and accommodate that many people on that budget this includes the reception as well.
They are a young couple in there 20s , they asked me what I think about it.

I don’t know a hell of a lot about weddings as I’m only 24 and never been married , but I said if you have a small budget maybe they should go to the court house and get their marriage certificate, and than spend that money on the reception because I think 3k could make a nice reception.
and maybe later on they could throw a wedding later when they have more money.

What do you think, can you throw a nice wedding on a 3k budget?

Your cousin will find out soon enough that she will not be able to have the wedding she wants with the budget she wants. Even if she were to have a courthouse wedding and only have the reception with that many people, and a very casual sort of snack-food reception, she will be pushing it. Hosting ANY party, wedding or not, for 150 people is expensive.

It is possible to do a wedding on a $3k budget, but it is hard. She will need to cut corners and compromise, even forgo certain things, but if that is ll they can afford and they want to get married now, that’s what they should do.

Sorry I gotta ask again….I had 3 very helpful answers but I was hoping for a couple more maybe even a few guys opinions…..
I’m in the process of becoming a wedding planner. I just started and already I have 2 weddings however I am doing both of them for free because I don’t have experience yet and I need it, and they are my bfs friends. I think I have a really good shot at this being as I live in Victoria B.C which is pretty busy with weddings. But since I haven’t charged anyone yet I’m not sure if a lot of people would be willing to pay for one? And if so, what would you be willing to pay?
I’m thinking of charging about $1500-$2000 for a full year of planning and being on site that day. Does that sound like to much or not enough? It takes up A LOT of time and gas so I think that’s a reasonable price.

I forgot to add….I am taking courses to become a certified wedding planner.

i’ve got to be honest, we didn’t hire a wedding planner and we didn’t have any problems planning our wedding. my friend had one and i guess she was helpful but a lot of the stuff she did was stuff that could easily be handled by the bride herself. and on the wedding day, she spent more time being in the way than actually helping out. weddings are already really expensive….i don’t really see the need to spend a few extra thousand dollars for someone to do what i could do with a little extra organization, you know?
i don’t want to be a downer or burst your bubble. WE didn’t use one because our vendors were already pretty good about coordination on the big day. we had a church lady to guide us through the entrance…our caterer set up the reception all, served dinner, AND packaged up remaining food and drink AND our gifts before the reception was over, and our dj handled the bouquet and other activities. we paid a pretty penny for their services so it we felt justified in asking them to handle those details. but my husband says that had our wedding been more detailed or more extravagant then a wedding coordinator probably would have been helpful. try to cater to the venues around you for recommendations. and up your price…$1500-$2000 is a bit low i;d think!

When it comes to organizing a wedding, there is so much to do and it can get pretty hectic. It is amazing that so many of them come off without a major crisis. A wedding planner can help take care of a lot of the stress and the details before and during the ceremony. Whether or not the wedding planner is a necessary ingredient to a wedding’s success depends on you and your circumstances.

The wedding planner is usually a person who has had a lot of experience with weddings. They have some insight on how weddings run. The best wedding planners are detail oriented. If you know someone in your immediate group of friends or family who is detailed, they may be the person to depend on to keep things in order and get things done on time. But the planner is not simply a person who does well organizing things. They have to make sure that everything in kept in budget and they also try to resolve issues or tense situations that inevitably creep up without becoming upset.

Because a wedding is full of tradition, many couples find it hard to make it their own special day without going to the other extreme. The wedding planner can help the couple personalize their day and come up with ideas to keep the wedding balanced. Since they work in the business of weddings, they might even know places and have suggestions to help keep costs down.

Weddings are expensive, an average wedding can end up in the thousands of dollars, and wedding planners can cost up to two thousand dollars to hire. If you do need a planner, and you are on a budget consider hiring one with less experience. That way both of you can benefit from the arrangement.

Not sure…I know my fiance has a lot of family, so accomidating them would important. Thankfully they all live nearby. I want it to be tasteful and elegant, I’m okay if there aren’t many flowers but I don’t know how I feel about fake ones…

Well obvious musts are the marriage license and officiant. Need those just to do the deed!

After that everything is fluff. But your attire and his attire, food, drinks (alcoholic or not), wedding cake (or dessert). Maybe a bridal bouquet and other flowers.

Maybe if a small wedding, have your "reception" at a restaurant and they may have a room seperate.

Don’t know how much you are planning on spending.
