It's no secret that wedding costs can cause tension and confusion, and the last thing you want is to be worried about finances leading up to your wedding. The best way to divide the expenses is for the bride and groom to sit down with both sets of parents and decide who is going to pay what.While discussing money is never easy, don't be afraid to bring up the budget. If you feel uncomfortable asking your future in-laws about the part they are paying, ask your fiancé to broach the subject. However, if you bring up finances with your future in-laws, be respectful don't have a demanding attitude.If the parents are asking if you need help, be honest.While it is easy to get carried away with the wedding expenses, be sure to set a budget, and stay within the budget. If you can't afford something, then you will have to go without that particular item for your wedding. It is better to stay within your budget than to go overboard with your spending and start your marriage with a huge pile of debt. One of the easiest ways to cut the budget is to cut the guest list. Ask yourself if your 4th cousin, twice removed really needs to be invited, and if the answer is no, then consider going through the guest list and removing some of the guests.Although everyone usually develops their custom wedding expenses budget, here are some of the traditional roles of the families in weddings.The Bride's Family:The bride's family is usually responsible for covering the majority of the wedding expenses including the wedding dress, the venue, the invitations, the decorations, wedding photographer and videographer, the wedding cake, the reception, the DJ, etc.The Groom's Family:Traditionally, the groom's family is to provide the money for the honeymoon, the bouquets and boutonnieres, the minister's fee, and anything else they would like to contribute.The Bride:The bride should budget for, the groom's wedding band, gifts for her bridesmaids and maid of honour, hair and makeup on the wedding day, wedding gift for the groom, etc.The Groom:The groom's financial role includes the bride's engagement and wedding ring, gifts for the groomsmen, wedding gift for the bride, etc.The Wedding Party:While some brides are financially stable enough to be able to purchases dresses and shoes for their bridesmaids, in most cases, the bridesmaids and maid of honour are responsible for buying their own dresses and shoes. They are also responsible for paying for their own hair and makeup on the day of the wedding. The groomsmen are expected to pay for the rental of their own tuxedos.While the bride's family traditionally pays for the majority of the wedding expenses, the wedding expenses can actually be divided in any way. Many times, the groom's family will offer to split the entire cost of the wedding with the bride's family. When the bride and groom are able to pay part of the price, the three families can find a way to divide the cost in a way that benefits everyone involved.,,Dowries no longer exist in our culture. Also long gone by the wayside is the old notion that the bride's family is financially responsible for the entire cost of the wedding and reception. Having your parents bear the entire expense of a wedding and reception is not a birthright. Their contribution is a gift and, with the skyrocketing cost of weddings, is has become commonplace for both sets of parents and the bridal couple to share in this major expense.When setting your wedding budget, start by asking what amount, if any, your parents are willing to contribute. They may wish to cover some, if not all, of the services and items on your list. Modern tradition still observes the following financial allocations:Traditional expenses of groom and/or groom's parentsThe groom's parents (and/or groom) are responsible for the cost of the bride's and bridesmaids' bouquets, all corsages for the ladies and boutonnieres for the gentlemen. The groom bears the expense of the marriage license and officiant's fee, but not the church or ceremony location charges. The groom or his parents pay for expenses associated with transportation of the bride and groom to the ceremony and reception, and transportation to the wedding night room.The entire cost of the honeymoon and the bride's ring is the responsibility of the groom and/or groom's parents, as well as any gifts given to the bride. Accommodations for the groomsmen, whether arriving from out-of-town, or if a destination wedding is planned, are also the responsibility of the groom. The groom pays the cost of rental or purchase of his tuxedo.Always an optional expense for the groom's family, it is commonly expected that the groom's parents are financially responsible for the rehearsal dinner. Depending on circumstances, the groom and groom's parents can also offer assistance for a next-day brunch, or they can choose to pay for particular wedding items, such as the photography, champagne or cake.Traditional expenses of the bride's familyThe bride's family is responsible for all other expenses, which include the engagement party and the rehearsal dinner (if the groom's parents do not pay). They will cover the entire cost of the reception, including the site rental, catering fees, beverages, wedding cake, all other flowers and decorations for the site. The bride's dress, invitations, music for the ceremony and reception, cost of the church or ceremony site, photography and/or videography, wedding coordinator, party favors, guest transportation (if needed), and a trousseau for the bride also come under the responsibility of the bride's family. They are also responsible for the cost of rooms for the bridesmaids at destination weddings, or for the rooms of women in the bridal party who are arriving from out-of-town.Of course, times have changed and many brides are professional women who, along with their groom, contribute considerably to the expenses of the wedding. Some are capable of and desire to pay for their own weddings, splitting costs with their future spouse.Other expensesBridesmaids are responsible for the cost of their dresses, any alterations and accessories. They also pay for shower and wedding gifts, as well as the expense of hosting or co-hosting the bridal shower(s) and bachelorette party.Groomsmen are responsible for renting their tuxedos, any alterations and accessories. They also pay for wedding gifts, and hosting or co-hosting a bachelor (or coed bachelor/ bachelorette) party.Discuss the budget of your wedding up front with everyone who might participate in covering the expenses. Doing so will help you make the most of a realistic budget so you can have the touches you feel are important to your celebration of marriage.,,How many couples are stil paying for their wedding on their 5 year wedding anniversary? Is it worth going into massive debt for your wedding day? When you get married, there is no good reason to get married to your overdraft as well. I'm going to show you ways and means of saving money on planning your wedding, and still having the day you want - without compromise.I got married in April 2007 - total cost of wedding, just under £8000. What did we get for that?Exclusive use of a 17th century castle with 19 bedrooms, including accommodation and full English Breakfast for the guests (50% discount - getting married on a Sunday) - £2500,A converted barn with additional 10 bedrooms (reserved the whole barn, and got a discount) - £600,Wedding gown, tiara, veil, shoes and 3 bridesmaids dresses plus jewellery (10% discount on wedding dress, 50% sale items bridesmaids dress, jewellery bought at a home party) - £1100,Bridal hair and make-up (used local suppliers) - £150,3-course wedding breakfast (50% discount for a Sunday) - £1800,Unlimited pre-wedding breakfast drinks, and champagne toast - £350,Classical string quartet (3 hours) - £350,DJ evening - £200,Flowers for bride, bridesmaids , buttonholes and guests tables (re-used altar flowers for top table) - £220,Photographer - Leather bound wedding album and 200 photographs (negotiated discounted price for all photos taken). - £650Wow - you must be thinking. And that's what I thought too. But with a lttle bit of research and work, it can be posible for everyone.The Money side of things,If you have to borrow any money to get married, then take a look at 0% interest credit cards. (yes, they still exist - I have just signed up for one that has given me £6000 interest free credit until September 2009). You can then budget and pay off your card over a period of time - without incurring any interest charges. Check out the best bank loans with the lowest interest charges.The Venue,If you decide not to get married on a Saturday, there can be considerable savings. Getting married on a weekday, or bridging the weekend by marrying on Friday or Sunday reduces the cost of your venue. We got married on a Sunday, and saved 50% on the overall cost of our reception - venue hire and meal. If you live in an expensive area - why not get married where it is less expensive and have your guests travel to the venue of your choice - that's what we did.Bridal Wear,You don't have to wear new! There is a big second hand, nearly new bridal market. Oxfam has numerous bridal shops devoted to the second hand bridal wear market. Check-out the internet for specialist second hand , nearly new bridal wear directories. You can save upto 75% off the cost of a new dress. Look out for end of season sales for wedding dresses, every bridal shop has them to make room for next year's stock. Check out high street shops for your bridesmaids dresses - especially at sale time. We saved 50% on the bridesmaids dresses because they were in the pre-Xmas sale.Visit craft fairs for wedding jewellery - there are many crafters who make the most amazing wedding jewellery at a fraction of the price of a retail shop.Wedding Stationery,Card craft shops can sell you everything you need to make your own wedding invitations. I personaly made all of mine. total cost £25.00 for 40 invitiations. Not only that - they are fun to make. Print your own Save the Date cards by buying some pretty paper postcards (specialist stationery shops sell them).If you are having wedding favours on the tables, then these can also act as your place name cards by tying a label on with the guests name.Wedding favours - checkout the internet for favour bags - fill with your choice. We chose miniature spirits for the men, and loose lavendar for the ladies.The Flowers,Buttonholes - if using a single flower such as a rose, this can be very stylish and elegant - and with a herb sprig is easy to make yourself.Try clever tricks with candles and lighting before filling every space in your venue with flowers. If you are marrying in a registry office, reuse the flowers on the altar table to place on the top table. Place empty vases on the top table which can then hold the brides and bridesmaids flowers. Mirrors under vases on guests tables can create a dazzling effect without using lots of flowers.If you are marrying in a church, you can decorate the pews with ribbon rather than flowers - considerably cheaper. Think about using lots of greenery in your floral displays instead of flowers.Feeding your guests,Difficult one, as the guests will expect a meal. If you get married late in the day then the wedding breakfast alone should be sufficient. If you are having extra guests in the evening, then only cater for 60% otherwise the food (and your money) will be wasted. Barbeques can be cost effective, buffet style. Hire a hog roast and have a few salads. If you are thinking of self-catering, then rally around your friends and relatives and with some helpers and a small wedding, lay on a finger buffet.The Drink,Some venues will let you supply your own drinks without penalty. A trip to France can save you loads. Be careful though, as some venues will charge you corkage, which can then cost more than having the venue supply the wine.Ask the venue to quote you for a package that includes drinks - welcome drink, wine during the meal, and champagne toast. Most guests these days expect to pay for their drinks outside of the wedding breakfast - so you can set up a paid bar.Happy Snaps,Don't be tempted to buy disposable cameras for the guests tables and have those as your wedding photos. They are usually of poor quality, and not pictures of what you want. If you have some friends who are interested in photography, then appoint them to be your official photographers. Digital cameras are great - they can download the photos onto a smart stick, and there are numerous internet sites that will create a wedding album for you.We could have saved even more on costs, by not paying for guest accommodation, or not having unlimited wine before the meal - but that was our choice. I hope this gives you some ideas on having the wedding you want without breaking the bank, and for some great suppliers to the wedding industry,.,,It's that time of the year again! Time for you to go through your home and organize everything that has accumulated throughout the year. That's right; it's time for Spring Cleaning! Whether it's actually spring or the middle of winter, it's time to get your house in order. This is not an enjoyable task, but it has to get done. After all, we all enjoy our home more when it is clutter free. To help you get started, here are some tips and hints to help you get rid of your old, unwanted stuff, sometimes with minimal effort from you!Clothes and GarmentsWhether you have a bridesmaid dress from your cousin's wedding four years ago, or a shirt you bought that didn't fit and you lost the receipt for, most of us have clothes that we could easily part with. So get your unwanted t-shirts, jackets, skirts, jeans, and shoes gathered together into a simple garbage bag. Then, all you need to do is find a simple donation drop off box for garments. These are very common. Many charity organizations have them, whether they be Good Will, the Red Cross, or some other charity. In fact, most of these organizations try to make your donating as easy as possible, and put drop boxes at many stores or supermarkets. This makes it easy for you to rid yourself of your old clothes. Just look for one of these boxes on your way to work or when you're out shopping, and you can get rid of your clutter with minimal fuss.Stuffed Animals and Other ToysFor those of us with kids, it seems there are always more toys then are needed. Some playthings they grow out of, and others they lose interest in. In that case, it would be better to get those toys to a child who will better appreciate them. Luckily, many charities encourage us to donate toys. You will often see toy "drives" where you are allowed to drop off unwanted items at your local supermarket and the charity will make sure that the items will get into the hands of those who will appreciate them. Or if there are no local drives, many churches are happy to take your old stuffed animals and games off your hands. You could even do a simple search on the internet and find someone locally to take your toys and get them into the hands of needy children in other countries.Furniture and Home AccessoriesThese are often the most difficult items to get rid of. After all, they are heavy and take up a lot of space. Still, you will be surprised how grateful others will be take furniture off your hands. Ask around with your friends and family, and perhaps someone will know a college student who would be more than happy to a get a free sofa for their apartment or dorm. They'll probably even transport it themselves! Remember, your junk could be someone else's treasure. And if you can't find anyone, and are at all tech savvy, you could put an ad out on one of the many free internet classifieds, such as Craigslist. These are all great ways to get rid of your heavy furniture without having to expend much energy or cash on transportation costs. (You could also sell your old furniture for cash if it's in good condition). And if you have the ability to carry an item a short distance, you could even set it at the end of your driveway with a "free" sign on it. Someone will probably stop by and happily take it off your hands! Furniture doesn't have to be as difficult to get rid of as you think!So as you can see, no matter what form your unwanted clutter takes, there's always a way to get it into the hands of someone who will appreciate it. You can donate them to friends, family, or acquaintances, give them to a charity to place with the needy, or simply have someone pick them up from your door! Remember, spring cleaning does not have to be incredibly difficult. Just keep in mind these tips for making your clutter someone else's treasure. Good luck!,,Traditional gowns are still the reigning queens of the wedding world, but the up-and-coming princess is the short gown. They're still a very small feature of most bridal designer showings, but they are making an impact in the spring and summer collections. Do you think you have what it takes to pull off a short bridal gown?When I say short, I mean short. They can range anywhere from knee length to mid-thigh and even a few inches higher depending on the designer. Of course, tasteful attire is a matter of opinion, but I'm not sure how comfortable many women would feel standing up in front of an audience, all eyes on them, wearing a bridal gown that just barely covers their nether regions. Then again, there may be a legion of women dying to wear just such a gown.Coming in a range of styles from super simple with no details, just straight cuts and a flattering silhouette to going all the way in full on walking art with stylish hem lines and layers of material that create quite the voluminous effect. Whichever way you choose to style it, the short wedding dress will definitely be an eye catcher.A big bonus for the frugal bride, less material may equal a smaller price tag. Keep within budget and be the most unforgettable bride in a dress that most guests are sure to have never seen on another bride before. Take that same money-saving mini dress find and if it doesn't scream bride at first sight, reuse it for other formal events and parties. If none of your wedding guests share your party circles, you are free to get as much use out of your wedding dress as you see fit. Who would possibly guess it is a wedding dress, anyway?If showing off a stellar set of legs sounds more than appealing on your big day, then do not forget to try on every short dress you come by.
