Are you planning a wedding? Here’s a little heads up on the seven hidden costs you must know about.

ITs never easy to describe what’s unique about a wedding, in conventional terms a wedding ceremony is something which provides people with an opportunity to showcase their love and solidify it in long-lasting bond until death parts them.

However, showcasing love can sometimes be a costly affair. Thus budgeting plays a vital role in it to manage things like decor, outfits, food, and gifts etc. But even budgeting is not enough to deal with this panorama of events as sometimes we miss out on various blocks of expenditure which sends the budgeting and planning on the highway.

Don’t worry; we got you covered with a list of expenditures you need to look out for as a  minute of planning can save you with a lifetime of misery.

  • Wedding Wardrobe: Ideally, your wedding dress must be finalized and bought months before the actual D-Day. There exist a possibility where you have to settle for another wedding dress if you don’t buy your dress on time. Remember what happened to Monica in an episode of Friends?

  •  Overtime fees: no matter how much you plan for the wedding, one thing which you can’t expect is the time it will take to complete all the rituals and events associated with them. In this conundrum, we often forget that the wedding photographer, the DJ, and the videographer is hired for a stipulated time. If the timeline of the wedding is pushed, then so will be the cost of the hired services.

  • Commute: the commute of such a large number of guests must be organized and optimized.

  • Unexpected guest list: although most guests give confirmations whether they will be attending the wedding or not however last-minute additions are not that uncommon.

  • Vendor tips: most of the vendors will serve alongside you in prep work of your wedding. So you need to give positive monetary reinforcement to show some gratitude and to keep them active and charged up.

  • Back up venue: is needed for the people who are arranging for outdoor function, as it is difficult to predict the weather so one must ensure a close space to seat all the guests in case things go haywire.

  • Licenses: most of the people  don’t know, but you need to have permission for things like alcohol, music, fire and many other things which contribute to your expenses.
