How can I create a wedding budget?

Start by listing all potential expenses like venue, catering, and attire. Do you have a rough estimate of your total budget?

I think around $20,000. What should I prioritize?

Prioritize the venue and catering, as they usually take up the largest portion of the budget. Have you chosen a venue yet?

Not yet, but I have a few in mind. How do I compare their costs?

Create a spreadsheet to list each venue's costs, including any additional fees. This will help you compare them easily.

That sounds helpful! Should I also include a contingency fund?

Yes, it's wise to set aside about 10-15% of your budget for unexpected expenses.
