5 Hidden Costs That Could Blow Your Wedding Budget.   

Those hidden costs always creep up on you when your planning your wedding budget.  Just when you thought you’ve figured everything out, here comes more hidden costs…  What to do?


Here are the top hidden costs that most couples overlook:


Insurance

Hidden costs like this need to be IN the budget.  We’ve featured a comprehensive blog post on why this is so very important.  Websites like WedSafe.com offer wedding insurance.  Trust us.  Have yourself some peace of mind and get a quote.


Postage

You’ll need a lot of stamps for your save-the-date’s.  Then, theres the invitations, and finally the thank-you’s. Postage rates could add up for each piece of stationary. The hidden costs is to keeping your paper products simple and not bulky.


Hotel Room for the Night Before… and Night After!

Staying in a hotel room the night before your wedding day is a great idea. It may just help with stress your levels. You can wake up, have a cup of coffee, and enjoy getting ready in your own room.  Not going on your honeymoon right after the reception?  Then relax for a day (or two) in a hotel room to wind-down.


Unexpected Guests

Rude! Unexpected guests are a common thing. Your guests may bring an additional person (boyfriend or girlfriend) when they weren’t invited.  Also, guests who didn’t RSVP at all may decide to show up. Or, guests who RSVP’d ‘NO’ may suddenly have decided to attend.  The only thing you can do is include a few extra plates in your budget.


Forgotten Items

I’ve done it…. and I do this EVER weekend! As prepared as you may be, anything can happen. The Groom could forget his shoes, a Groomsman may need black socks, or a Bridesmaid may show up in heels that don’t match the rest. You’ll thank yourself later for being prepared for hidden costs like these.


These are just a few of the hidden costs you could run into.  It’s our experience that if you plan ahead these unexpected costs will become part of your budget.

Nicole & Conor - April 16th

Destination Wedding - Montego Bay, Jamaica After leaving a 38 degree and overcast Connecticut, the 82 degree weather was welcomed for the much anticipated wedding of Nicole & Conor, who had arrived several days earlier at Sandals Royal Caribbean Resort. Also arriving earlier was our good friends Brian & Kate from Brian Ambrose Photography who are capturing and documenting pre-bridal and post-bridal events in their unique way.  It's a great pleasure working with a professional like this, so far from home, who's only interest is to make sure that we work as a team in the best interest of the Bride & Groom. After settling in, we met with Nicole & Conor for our pre-bridal consultation and also scheduled an appointment with our Sandals wedding coordinator Jill, plus a full dress rehearsal ceremony before the Rehearsal Dinner.  In the notably laid-back style of the island, I had to coordinate with the house DJ who was providing on-site sound reinforcement, wit...
