Here are some areas for which you should be prepared for:
Outfit Alterations
Usually, a wedding outfit is ready a couple of months prior to the D-day. But, there can be chances that the outfit requires some alterations some days before the wedding and being such a heavy as well as expensive outfit, the alteration charges can be high.
Transportation and Accommodation
There must be some guests that would be coming from different cities or even different countries to attend your wedding. Therefore, you will have to arrange for transportation as well as accommodation for these guests.
Overtime Charges
You must be aware of the fact that the wedding vendors such as the photographer, the DJ, and the videographer are paid for only a stipulated number of hours. If the wedding runs longer than that, you will have to pay them more.
Licenses
Every social or corporate celebration requires licenses for everything- alcohol, music, fire and many other things. Therefore, keep them in mind while budgeting.
Vendor Meals
Most of the vendors will be at the wedding for really long hours, therefore, you have to take care of their meals.
Back-up plan
In case you are having an outdoor function, you can never really predict the weather (well, almost). Keep some funds aside in case you have to make some last-minute arrangements.
Now, that you know you will have to keep some funds aside, start saving up!
