6 steps to start planning financially to have a big day of dreams.

“Hey, I got engaged and I don’t even know where to start ?”

Very calm at that time. We will help you with this, engaged.

One of the first steps to start planning a wedding is financial planning. This determines how much the bride and groom have to spend, where they can spend, where to invest more and where to save.

This pre-wedding phase is marked by many expenses: ceremony, new house, party, buffet, flowers. A moment, certainly, exciting but also very stressful for the couple. That’s why we brought you some really cool tips to get you started on your planning.

Choose your tool.
First thing to start planning your budget: Have the tool at hand that will help you better organize your expenses.

You can choose a spreadsheet and update it as the planning goes on or an application that has the function of “organizing finances”:

Put all the items you need to think about in this spreadsheet and go to the second step.

Ready. Once you’ve decided on the tool, it’s time to put your dreams and projects on the table.

We’re ready, let’s go.
Grooms, this is the stage where the two need to sit down and do the math. How much do you want to spend on the wedding? How much have you saved? How much do you need to save per month? How soon will you be able to save and reach the “amount you want to spend on the wedding”. Will you have to save for a year? Two? Do the math and decide the budget (final amount of expenses). With that determined, let’s move on to the next step.

Decide the style of your party.
Decide on your wedding mood. Is it rustic, classic, modern? This determines important items in your budget: Place, type of dress, type of decoration, number of guests. Important details to start quoting.

The three P’s: Research, price, and bargain!
With the wedding style defined, the bride and groom can begin to quote prices with suppliers. And don’t be afraid to ask for discounts. Every penny saved counts a lot for your financial planning. How about some really cool tips to give that saved in your planning:

- Plan ahead to ensure the best choices.

- Choose less popular dates to mark your date. May, for example, the famous month of brides, is usually the most expensive month for weddings.

- Set the location. Doing the ceremony and party in the same place or making your own decoration helps to save money. If you prefer to do a wedding in the church, to save money, escape the most famous.

- Define your guest list and don’t invite anyone out of “obligation”. Do not forget that it is your day, your moment. Forget about formalities and wipe your list. Take a look at this article here.

- Choose costumes. The groom’s dress and suit can be rented. This helps a lot in the budget too. In our Expert Chat, stylist Renata Castro gave some tips on how to choose the right dress within your budget.

- Invitations can be virtual. Besides being very practical, they prevent anyone from losing or forgetting. In fact, on the Quero de Casamento website, the bride and groom can print mini-invitations with the list link and check the RSVP (guests who confirmed their presence). So when you arrive at the buffet, you can plan accurately. See the tutorial on how to print your mini-tags ;)

-Choose seasonal flowers, they are much more affordable (see suggestions from florist Fernanda Zagatti).

- Did you know you can have drinks on consignment? Many vendors offer this option. You buy a part and the other part is on consignment. The bride and groom pay only if they are used, otherwise, they are returned. Pretty cool, isn’t it? Search with your suppliers.

- Wedding music. In general, bands are often more expensive than a DJ.

- Gifts. How about choosing souvenirs that the bride and groom can make? Besides being super economical it can be a very cool romantic moment for the couple.

Make lots of budgets. Do a lot of research.
