Setting her priorities and being creative helped Fiona Cher – also known as Dawn of SG Budget Babe – to have the wedding of her dreams at a fraction of what it would normally cost!
SET FINANCIAL GOALS
My husband Nicholas and I agreed that it didn’t make sense to spend too much on the fairy-tale wedding we both wanted because this celebration lasts for a day while our marriage is for life. We chose to spend more on our holidays and home – areas that would help our relationship and future.
CHECK YOUR SAVINGS
We also needed to make sure that we didn’t stretch our finances too thin as I’m the only one supporting my dad, and Nicholas is an only son. We had to make sure we both had enough funds for the wedding as well as everyday or emergency costs.
MAKE A LIST
I tabulated everything to do with our wedding to help stay focused throughout the preparations, and on the big day itself.
BE CONSIDERATE OF YOUR GUESTS
While many couples rely on hongbaos to pay for their banquet, we didn’t want to pass our costs to guests, so we worked out a budget that wouldn’t leave us in debt – even if our guests simply blessed us with their presence.
This was super important as we had quite a number of retired and unemployed guests, and didn’t want to burden them. Although said to be a blessing for the couple, these are typically a huge stress for guests as most try to give an amount that covers the cost of their meal. If you check the list of rates for dinners online, you will find out that they can be quite intimidating.
