Budget, Budget, Budget

I have created a Wedding Planning Budget Sheet! My suggestions for budgeting for a wedding, is to first print out this budget sheet, then highlight your priorities and cross off everything that you won't need. Next divide your money out based on your priorities first, then everything else. Stick to your budget as close as possible and remember to save some money for the unexpected costs (I would say about 10%). Click on the budget sheet to view full size and print.

Articles and Resources to help you prepare spiritually for a Temple Wedding

I went searching for a few resources that I would recommend when preparing for a temple wedding. It is so important for you and your fiance to really prepare yourselves spiritually for a temple wedding. I know that with my wedding, looking back, I remember how easy it was to get distracted with the "fun" planning (the dress, decorations, etc.). So here are a few resources that I found at Lds.org.

1. The First is an article from the October 2004 issue of the New Era. Planning Your Temple Wedding, By Shanna Butler. Click Here to view the Article.

2. Optional Temple Preparation Courses. Marriage and Family Relations Course, and Temple Preparation Course. Click Here to view the courses.

3. Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple pamphlet. Click Here to view.
