Your wedding is among the biggest of Life Events \u2013 and naturally, you want it to be exceptional. But it\u2019s super-easy to get carried away with all the tempting choices involved. For years, Birkat Elyon<\/a> has helped couples get started with gorgeous cubic zirconia engagement and wedding rings<\/a>. And because our high-quality CZ jewelry<\/a> is so affordable, they start out on a smart financial foot. Here are some other smart ways to pay for your wedding \u2013 without losing your shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAKE A SMART BUDGET<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with your budget goal for the wedding, then divide it\nby the number of months you have to save for it. Example: if you need $20K and\nyour wedding is a year away, that means you need to save about $1700 a month.\nIf that seems like a lot, you can either cut the budget or extend the time\nuntil you get married. Having a \u201cnumber\u201d makes it easier to focus. On that same\nnote, create a dedicated \u201cwedding account\u201d to stash your savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USE CREDIT CARDS WISELY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a given that reserving venues and vendors will likely\nrequire a credit card. You can come out ahead by using one that gives you\nreward points that can go towards things like airline miles (which you could\nuse for your honeymoon). Just don\u2019t spend more than you can realistically repay\non time. One of the biggest mistakes new couples make is starting off a\nmarriage deeply in debt; rely on the aforementioned \u201cwedding account\u201d to stay\non top of credit card bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EASY CUTBACKS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many subscription services do you have? You know, the\nones that automatically deduct money from your account each month?  Could you do without Spotify, Netflix, Amazon\nPrime, your gym membership for a bit? Those monthly costs can add up\nquickly.  Same for the daily things we\nbuy that we don\u2019t even think about: coffee, lunch, bottled water, cab rides,\nparking. How many of those purchases can you cut back on \u2013 or cut out\naltogether?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On that same note, talk to your cellphone and cable provider\nto see if you can get a better deal. The truth is, they would rather keep you\nas a customer than find a new one, so you might be surprised at how willing\nthey are to cut you a break. Stash all the savings in your Wedding Account and\nrejoice at how every little bit is getting you closer to your dream ceremony.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
