Surviving the Engagement

As many of you know, I just recently got engaged this week! We are so excited but overwhelmed at the same time. There is so much that goes into planning a wedding and trying to keep the stress levels down. Here are some great pointers that I’ve already put to great use.

-Budget for everything! Sticking to a budget might be the hardest thing to do when you want a lavish wedding. But once everything is said and done, you won’t be stressing over wedding debt.
-Plan a longer engagement. We are planning for a 2014 wedding which gives us plenty of time to explore our options and do a lot of DIY to cut costs.
-It’s all about who you know. If you want to cut costs, hire a friend or family member that specializes in photography or a DJ.

Remember that in the end you love each other and this day is about love not stress!
