Avoid starting married life in wedding debt
Pay as you go, from savings, not credit.
Wedding loans and credit card balances can follow you for years. Planning to pay from savings, even if it means a smaller wedding or a later date, is usually the better start.
How
- Set the budget from what you have and can save
- Save monthly in a separate account
- Pay deposits with a credit card for protection, then pay it off in full
- Avoid "wedding loans" and store financing
- Move the date if you need more time to save
