Remember Your Gifts


When planning your wedding celebration, remember to take into consideration the fact that you will receive many gifts from family & friends that will assist in offsetting the total cost of your wedding. Gifts can come in several forms: cash, checks or merchandise. Many of the gifts will come from the guests that confirm and attend your celebration. However, you must remember that, quite often, even those guests that have to regretfully decline attending your wedding will most likely forward some form of gift for the newly married couple. These gifts can quite often equal a value between 50% - 80% of your wedding celebration expense. While we never advocate "counting your chickens before they hatch", you will recoup some of your wedding celebration expenses. Do not overextend your budget, but also, do not try to cut costs. You only get married once and you want your celebration to me as memorable and satisfying as possible.
