MARRIAGE GOAL PLANNING

There are myriad costs that go into getting married, some of them unforeseen, which is why it's so important to have a plan to save for them. You'll want to choose a venue, a caterer, a florist, perhaps a band or DJ, not to mention wedding clothes, that make tying the knot special but don't set you (or your family) back financially for years to come. These strategies can help you put aside enough to meet your needs.

The amount you will spend on a wedding can vary greatly, depending on how big (or small) you decide to go. Comparing some numbers for average wedding costs can help put your potential outlay in perspective.

KEY TAKEAWAYS


  • The average cost of a wedding varies, based on where you live and the type of wedding you are planning.

  • The vast majority of couples budget too little for a wedding and wind up spending more than they’d planned.

  • Comparison shopping is one of the best ways to save on wedding costs.

  • Wedding savings should be liquid and easily accessible to pay for wedding costs as they arise.
