Estimate $ for each item (pricing beforehand helps). Maximum total for all up to the amount you have budgeted. Discuss who wishes to pay for what with your groom, and if appropriate, both sets of parents. Write in who will pay for each item. (BP=bride’s parents; GP=groom’s parents; B=bride; G=groom; O=other). When you make a purchase or arrange for a service, write in the actual cost (or specific quoted estimate). Record your deposits and balances.
