Saving on Time


Welcome to Debt-Free Wedding . . . your source for no-cost or low-cost wedding ideas that can help YOU create the wedding of your dreams. All written by the guy who wrote the books Before You Say "I Do" and Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget.

Here's an important concept that can help any couple save money on their wedding plans: the more time you have for planning, the more you can save. Time, as they say, is money. And when it comes to planning a wedding, don't doubt this maxim.

Here's a great way to make time work in your favor.

Create a timeline of events and/or items you will need for your beautiful wedding. Plan at least a year in advance, and keep driving through your goals with resolve and a money-saving eye toward value. Don't purchase the first thing that strikes your fancy. Shop around. Have conversation. Shop and compare. Then, once you know how you can save on your wedding plans, go back and make your purchases or your cuts so that all of your expenditures will fit inside your budget.

Place this calendar on your fridge or on your bedroom or bathroom mirror. Keep your wedding goals and your budget in mind as you work through the weeks leading up to your wedding.

And save, save, save.
