The generally accepted bias is 'Wedding is Expensive.' It will be more than that. Add stress to the mix, and if you believe that thinking and go with the flow, you will surely spend a lot of money. You don't want to do that. Marry smart. Stop, Plan, and Save.
Another bias is a Destination Wedding is not affordable for the average couple. Dispel the myth! Most Americans who can afford a vacation can have a dream destination wedding.
Marry smart is not only a good start but a responsible beginning for all wedding couples. Smart planning is essential. If you don't plan, your wedding will put you into debt before you even say "I do."
So where do you want to get married? You can get married right where you live, or in Hawaii! Yes, Hawaii is within your budget. With a little planning, you can have your wedding anywhere you choose. A Hawaiian wedding in beautiful Waikiki is not impossible.
The National Association of Wedding Ministers wedding statistics claim that the average amount spend on a traditional American wedding is $22,000. Hawaii is the second most popular destination wedding location. With a little planning, most Americans and foreign visitors can reduce that budget in half and still have a beautiful Hawaiian Wedding.
The following is a sample cost of a Hawaii Vacation plus a Hawaiian wedding. Total cost is for the Bride and Groom.
· R/T Air Fare: $4,000.00 (Mainland USA/HNL)
· Hotel Accommodation (7 days): $2,800.00
· Food & Entertainment (7 days): $2,100.00
· Wedding: $2,000.00
Total Cost: $10,900.00
Is the above costing realistic? Yes!
The World Wide Web is full of airfare and hotel bargains. Do your research well and you can cut your airline fare and hotel accommodation costs in half.
Unless you're on a strict pre-wedding diet, you will need food. Instead of eating out three times a day: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, why not buy your own groceries? Most hotels have a refrigerator. Stock up on fruits, cereals, and nuts. Pack your own lunch, go out and sight see, then go all out for a nice dinner. It's good for your health, and great for your pocket book.
Coordinate your own wedding and save even more. Confirming most components of your wedding before arriving on the island will save you time and money. The following is a sample 'to do' list:
· Marriage License
· Wedding Official
· Wedding Locations
· Flowers
· Photography
· Reception
Download the marriage license from the Hawaii Department of Health website. For your wedding official, get referrals. Your hotel concierge can point you in the right direction. Check the official's website if he/she has one.
It is possible to see and choose your Hawaii wedding location, flowers, photographer, and wedding reception venue all from the comfort of your home. All you need is a computer and access to the World Wide Web. Sample search words are Oahu wedding locations, Hawaii wedding flowers, Hawaii photographers, and Hawaii wedding reception venues.
There is no good reason to start your new wedding life together deep in debt. With a little planning, you can have your dream wedding and put money in the bank.
Marry smart and you will literally have your cake and eat it too!
Happy Wedding Day!
From the Hawaiian Waikiki Wedding Team,
