After you've set up your communication website for all your friends and family, then what?

First,

Go through the wedding planning checklist and write down your estimated costs for each item,then go back next to that figure, and write out the actual costs and quotes you've found.

You'll find this to be another helpful way to plan for your overall costs and wedding budget.

Now you'll be able to stay within your budget by avoiding last minute decisions and purchases.

Be sure to also check out our wedding timeline, which is great to use alongside this wedding planning checklist to stay on track with your purchase and booking deadlines.

As you go through this wedding planning checklist, you will see some items that won't apply to you and your wedding, so simply cross those off.

There will be also be some others for your particular wedding that you'll need, which you can add in the space provided.

Money Savers:

Many costs here can be eliminated or minimized with a beach wedding theme, especially if your wedding is actually ON the beach. The beach is the perfect free wedding background, so excessive flowers and decorations are as necessary as it is for a church ceremony.

Reception ballrooms, ceremony location fees, and transportation are also some examples of ways you can save or reduce your beach wedding costs.

Once again, weddings on the beach are the best cheap wedding ideas one can find.
