How to Budget For a Wedding in Malta

There are few things most people spend more money on than weddings. The wedding industry is a booming one worth billions and many couples go out of their way to save enough to make a big splash on their fairy-tale moment. Here are a few tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your budget.

1. Don’t spend more on things than you should

This may sound like pretty obvious advice but it’s amazing how many couples fall into the trap of over-spending on things when they didn’t need to. Shop around for prices and don’t be shy to ask what a given price for something includes. Websites like Get Hitched can match you with vendors who are within your budget so you don’t end up being put in a situation where you spend more than you can.

2. Make a list of things you need and their prices and stick to it

It can be really easy to get caught up in the moment and to keep spending money which you simply don’t have. However financially savvy you are, there is always more that you can buy and many of these things come with hidden costs. Make a clear list of things which are needed and their quoted prices so that you can keep track of everything. This method will also ensure that people don’t ask you for more money than they quoted later on. Many couples have also found it helpful to have a separate account for wedding expenses as it can be easier to track what money is going in and coming out.

3. Think before you buy

We unwittingly haemorrhage money every time we leave the house by thoughtlessly spending. Taking a closer look at what you spend on a daily basis could help you cut back on unnecessary purchases. If you’re in the habit of buying a 3 euro cup of coffee every single day, then start filling a flask from home and carry it with you. If you always get a takeaway for lunch, start trying to plan your meals from home and taking them to work. Only shop for things you actually need rather than giving in to impulse buying; every little helps!
