5 Budget No-Nos

A few wedding budget No-No's:

1. Don't -- I mean NEVER -- EVER -- go into debt to pay for your wedding. This is the main reason I want to stick to a strict budget.

2. Don't put wedding bill on plastic unless you can pay off the balance in full as soon as you get the statement. If you got a great deal on something, that credit card intrest will kill the savings. If you are getting miles or points to put toward a honeymoon or other wedding savings, consider how much your willing to charge and cap it before you start handing out the plastic.

3. Don't agree to upgrades. Linens, fancy chair covers often add cost, be sure to ask before upgrading.

4. Don't spend more than you planned in one area - unless you can cut back in another area.

5. Don't budget for fewer guests than you invited. Always better to overestimate.

What are your budget no-no's??
