Tip: A Wedding Budget is something we all consider, then promptly change as we go along. It is all about priorities—and each wedding as its own special ones.

Readers Digest came out with this interesting information—and of course, I must share this with all of you.

The hottest wedding month is still June, but September now ranks as high in U.S. Nuptials. The average attendance is 186 guests. How much are these affairs costing today? Well, the next time a bride is throwing a bouquet, single women might want to...duck!

Reception......................$7,246
Rings...........................4,042
Photos/Video....................1,263
Bridal Gown.......................790
Flowers...........................775
Music.............................745
Invitations.......................374
Mother of the bride's dress.......198
Other (Veil, Limo, Fees, etc.)..3,441
_____________________________
Average cost of a wedding....$18,874

Now, don't let this scare any of you. There are many ways to stay in your budget and not to let it get out of hand. Remember the amount of guests you feed is crucial. And what you feed them makes a major difference. Talk you your wedding professionals for your best advice. And, of course get everything in writing.

Until next month...Stay Organized.

Fondly,
Marlene
