Small budget advice from June 2011 Bride

Hey ladies, I hope your planning is going well, I'm sure it all seems a long way off right now.

Quick bit of advice which no one ever mentioned to me about the budget. Put in a contingency amount in your budget for all the little last minute things. In the last 2 weeks I seem to have just spent money all day every day and none of this is things in the budget..things just crop up like:

extra supplies for DIY projects
little extra gifts
meals out with friends who want to see you one last time
things that you need for honeymoon and forgot about
vendors putting up prices - I know it shouldnt happen but I literally have had to spend $500 on add ons to vendor prices in the week before the wedding.

So - not to scare you, but make sure you keep a bit spare for the last month before your wedding :-)
