It's really nice to be able to cushion yourselves just a little bit so you can feel confident that you are going to stay within budget and that you have that cushion just in case some extra expenses come along the way.

I know, you know, and that's why it's really helpful. I say, you know, relying on these vendors because those are things that like they won't forget about. Right. But you don't think about it until the 11th hour and now you're scrambling and you might be overpaying on the podium. So I think that is another great plug for the beauty of a vendor team.

Yeah. So I think it's important that we all remember that social media is just a highlight reel, right? And there are some of those amazing weddings that take place, but there are plenty of weddings that are done in a more modest fashion. I also think that it's important to think about budgets in a subjective manner. So what can you realistically afford?

You don't want to go into debt over what you hope to put out on Instagram, right? And getting back to that earlier thought where I was joking about the linens, right? When you close your eyes and think about some of the best aren't necessarily the most expensive. I was at a wedding where someone used their escort cards to write personalized notes to everyone at the wedding.

And it was just so magical and very low cost, but high impact. I still remember it and will always remember it. So I think there's a lot of moments where you can say, okay, maybe I don't have the money to do that, but what are the things that I'm going to really leave my guests with? How are they going to walk away from this wedding saying, oh my gosh, that was so authentically them.

And I'll remember it forever for these reasons. So it isn't always about the stuff. It's about the couple. It's about the feeling, the energy, and that doesn't necessarily have to be costly. So don't let the money dysmorphia get you.

Think about the things you really want to prioritize and use your budget thoughtfully towards those things and realize that at the end of the day, you can have a very personalized, authentic celebration that is very memorable to your guests without going over budget.
