Today's "Tips on Tuesday's" is Setting a Budget. Seems simple right? Oh but how this can be such a shock to many of our clients.
It does not matter if you are throwing a wedding or a backyard BBQ, setting a budget is extremely helpful. It allows you to see what is most important for you to have and what is left to spend for those last minute items that you must have! Here are some basic tips to note:
1. Decide on a realistic budget and stick to it. You do not want to look at your event and not enjoy it because you went 3x's over budget.
2. Write down a list of EVERYTHING you will need for your event by creating categories and sub-categories (i.e. Decor and then a list of what you need) and then assign a percentage of your budget that you will like to allot to each area. This step is so crucial as all of those little things your heart desires can add up.
3. Create a column for your budgeted amount and another one of what you actually paid.
By following these tips, it will make it easier for you to stay within your budget. Seem overwhelming? Give us a call and we can take care of it for you!
