Even if you are super rich, you still need a budget plan to start, so that you know you are rich enough for the ideal wedding you want. Or, if you don&#8217;t think you can afford a wedding, actually, you might be able to, who knows, right? Start budgeting! I&#8217;m sharing with you my wedding budget planner, a super-detailed one, that includes even honeymoon expenses planning.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ladysuki.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Wedding-Budget-Planner.png?w=620\" alt=\"Wedding Budget Planner\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12482\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Download file here: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheet\/ccc?key=0AnFJdOWBuiA_dDJia3d3VUlDSzZXSnNTX3NiTDhXZEE&#038;usp=drive_web\" title=\"Our Wedding Budget Planner\" target=\"_blank\">Our Wedding Budget Planner<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do not overestimate yourselves, bridezillas\/groomzillas.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ladysuki.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Bridezilla_by_Xubbles.jpg?resize=600%2C490\" alt=\"bridezilla\" width=\"600\" height=\"490\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12496\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My advice to all of you is, pls keep yourself OUT OF EVERYTHING on the actual wedding day! That&#8217;s what brothers and sisters entourage are for! Leave everything to them, and make sure you brief them well enough beforehand, so that they do not have to come to you for every single detail. You are supposed to be sitting around, doing nothing, and just told of what to do and where to go next.<\/p>\n<p>I have various worksheet tabs in my file<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>Roles &#038; Contacts:<\/strong><br \/>\nwhere you define each brother\/sister role and their contact numbers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Transport Plan:<\/strong><br \/>\nwhere you define who takes whose car as there will be many cars on the day, you do not want them running here and there, and someone ended up with no car transport.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Overview of the day:<\/strong><br \/>\nBrief plan for time keeper to keep track of time and flow of events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Morning Session:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlan in details for your entourage to know what to do<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Solemnisation &#038; Lunch:<\/strong><br \/>\nPlan in details for your entourage to know what to do<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Tea Ceremony List:<\/strong><br \/>\nAt the hotel, you need to serve tea to rest of the family, and remember, your entourage are normally your friends, they do not know your family\/relatives, who is who.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>ROM List:<\/strong><br \/>\nNormally, you only get 30 chairs, you need to decide who gets to sit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Seat Plan:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe toughest of all, the ever-changing plan. I think it was quite a success in planning that nobody sits with a stranger. At the same time, after you already considered all factors, do not allow your friends to tell you who they want to sit with! Haha!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Floor Plan:<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter settling the floor plan, you need to plan how to arrange their tables accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Photo-taking Guide:<\/strong><br \/>\nWe do not have table-shots for our wedding, so we need our entourage to know, which tables to invite to the front for the family portrait photo-taking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <strong>Things to bring:<\/strong><br \/>\nYou do not want to leave out important things at home, so you better keep a checklist!
