How to finance your wedding without stress
Between the venue, catering, outfits and honeymoon, a wedding budget adds up fast. Here is how to plan it calmly so you can fully enjoy your day.
Identify the main expense categories
- Venue hire and catering
- The couple’s outfits
- Photographer, decoration, entertainment
- Invitations and guests
- Honeymoon
Prioritise according to what matters to you
Every couple values certain items more than others. Identifying your priorities from the start lets you allocate your budget more effectively, rather than spreading it evenly across every category.
Plan far enough ahead
Submitting your financing application several weeks before the event date leaves enough time for the application to be reviewed and the funds released, without risking delays to your bookings with suppliers.
Borrow alone or together?
A joint application from both future spouses can strengthen the file thanks to combined income, and also naturally shares the responsibility for repayment.
Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should you apply?
It is generally recommended to apply 4 to 6 weeks before the event date, to make sure the funds are released in time.
