You are Engaged, What Next? - Meredith Masaveg / Rain Wedding Planning There is so much information literally thrown at engaged couples that they don’t know how to separate the information they receive at countless bridal shows, in magazines, on websites, along with family and friends buzzing in their ears on what they should be doing, and how they should be doing it. First and foremost we want you to remember that this day is about you as a couple, YOUR WEDDING, YOUR WAY! We truly believe that an educated bride is a happy bride. It’s okay not to know all the answers, and to have questions, lots of questions. So, we have put together this guide to educate you on the most common MYTHS, MISTAKES AND QUESTIONS associated with planning a wedding; along with helpful and easy to use worksheets to keep you sane during your planning process. Let’s dive into what you should first do when planning your wedding; if you have not done this yet, there is NO wrong time to do this essential step in your planning process. …You’re Wedding Budget A wedding budget is absolutely essential to planning your wedding. Here we offer a practical step-by-step guide to help keep things sailing smoothly toward your big day. Setting a wedding budget is the best way to manage spending as you plan your wedding. Use our Budget Breakdown sheet to help guide you in where you should be spending your money, and where you can find wiggle room to get the things you’re REALLY want Step 3: Verify if others plan to contribute to your wedding expenses Families of the bride and groom will often offer to pay for some —if not all—of the wedding expenses. If you’re uncomfortable asking your parents for cash, how about requesting them to purchase certain items like the wedding cake, or let them pick up the tab for the rehearsal dinner? Whether your family pays a portion of your wedding costs or foots the entire bill, having others contribute to your wedding budget will certainly relieve the stress of limited cash flow. Step 1: Take a Realistic Look at Your Finances If you and your fiancé are handling to the bulk of the wedding costs, figure up how you can each comfortably contribute to the budget without going into the red (starting a marriage in debt is not a wise decision!). Money is a touchy subject, and being honest and upfront about how much you have to spend on your wedding will not only eliminate confusion, it will also lay the foundation for how to resolve money issues once you’re married. Step 2: Be selective with the guest list An important step in setting your wedding budget is to determine how many people you will want to invite to your ceremony and reception. The guest list dictates the amount of space you’ll need to accommodate your well-wishers, the quantity of food caterers must prepare for the reception meal, and other key budgetary considerations. Besides, it’s a nobrainer that the less people you invite, the less you’ll need to spend! Continues on Page 10

Most people are very formal and have no fun with taking the photos and getting those candid shots that mean the most; she gets all those and more. I cannot say enough positive things about her and her work. She's fun, positive and very energetic. I highly recommend Samantha.” REVIEWS “a fun and memorable experience…” Michelle said... “I am not a very confident person and Samantha made sure to take every step in making me feel like I was the most beautiful bride that she had ever worked with.

The pair of them were absolutely perfect and the pictures turned out beautiful. She did an amazing job keeping us on track and was captured every photo that we had asked for and then some! After the wedding, Samantha immediately began sending us teaser pictures while she finished editing the full album- which was sent to us swiftly. It was great seeing how the pictures were coming along during the entire process. I can't recommend using Samantha Purea Photography enough. THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCELLENT WORK!!!!”
