When a man proposes, the first instinct is usually to say yes (unless he isn’t really “your” man, then that is a whole different matter.) When he uses the word “forever”, it connotes of being one with the one you love in a never ending cycle of love and bliss … and images of gowns in white, a luxurious train and hundreds of guests which would shame the highest of royalty flood your inebriated mind.That is until budget time for the wedding arrives and you look at a measly bank account.Tying the knot is always expensive. No matter how hard you try to pipe the amount down, it always finds a way to hoist itself back up.

The food at a wedding event is very important. If the food is of high quality, your guests will be happy and you will have a wonderful wedding event. Therefore, it is important to shop for a good catering service that fits into your budget. Getting a catering service that fits into your budget for your wedding event is a very tough job. Some caterers raise their price by 2 or 3 times when they know that you are organizing a wedding event. Therefore, it is important that you find out the baseline cost of a wedding catering service. Then source out your caterer in advance to prevent them from charging you more for last minute catering. By sourcing your caterer in advance, you can definitely reduce the price you are going to pay for the service.Another way to save money is to find out the estimated total number of guests for your wedding. When you know the estimated number of guests, you will not over-cater food. You should always note that about 5 to 10 percent of people who have registered for your event will not turn up on the actual day. By noting this, you will not order too much food. One way to ensure that your guests turn up on the actual day is to call them one day before...more
