Watch Those Costs


Welcome to Debt Free Wedding and hundreds of money-saving ideas for your wedding and honeymoon, all written by the guy who wrote Your Beautiful Wedding On Any Budget.

There's one place where most brides/grooms overlook wedding costs . . . and that's the hidden fees. First, there are taxes, and many time brides overlook the mounting taxes added onto dresses, shoes, and items (sales tax). The price seen on the tag is frequently not the price paid at the register.

Then, there are fees associated with services, such as catering. Often, fees can be as varied and difficult to ascertain as the number of shrimp in a salad . . . so watch closely and ask questions.

Finally, fees attached to everything from the wedding license to the various rentals . . . it all adds up. So beware. Shop and compare. Look at the fine print. And save.
