One of the biggest decisions when planning a wedding is if it is going to be a small scale wedding or a large scale wedding. So many things later on in the planning will depend on this choice. One thing that has to be decided before you decide the size of your wedding is the budget. The budget is important because it will decide whether your wedding can be extravagant or you are going to have to look for bargains. Bargain hounding can be fun, but it can also be stressful when it comes to bargain hounding for your wedding day. After you decide on a budget, you can then decide whether to have a large or small wedding. That decision is going to depend on your budget, and on how many guests you would like to invite to share your special day. A large scale wedding can be done on a small budget if the guest list is what is important to you. A small scale wedding can be done on a small budget if the extravegance is what is important to you. It all depends where you are going to put your money. If you want lots of people, go potluck with the reception…it can be that easy when it comes to your decision.
