change of plan

Hi

I joined this site a few months back and have read a few posts but never wrote any.

Well up until last night partner and I were planning on getting married in Mexico, July 2015 however my partner has lost his job and I have just started full time work after taking 3 years out to look after my 3 children (ages 7,4 and 2).

My wage is rubbish compared to what partner what earning.

so last night we have decided on a low key wedding in the UK and hopefully have honeymoon in Mexico after wedding (we will see).

I was wondering if you can help I have no clue where to start or how to budget it all. I'm useless

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this Smiley smile

    Hi There,

    Sorry to hear about your husbands job Smiley sad

    Pleased to hear you are still getting married and that you hopefully get the opportunity to go to Mexico for your honeymoon Smiley smile

    Ive only really been on this site for a few weeks but there are some great ideas and tips. Maybe do a search on a few key terms, there have been a few posts recently. Along with this site, I have also been looking at Pinterest for ideas- specifically the invitations. Someone recommended PDA craft for the actual card- they are very reasonable.

    Good luck.

    Hi and welcome!

    I found the budget tool here on Hitched really helpful, and I can take each thing on the list and search for what I can afford then adjust some things up or down depending on our priorities. I'm still really early in the planning process though and I still spend most of my time worrying that I am not doing what I should be!

    Hi welcome to hitched!

    sorry to hear about your partners job! That must be tough but hopefully he'll be back in work soon!

    I have to say hitched has been amazing for ideas (especially for DIY things!) in terms of budget sit down with your OH and decide how much you can AFFORD to spend, (we worked out how much savings we had and what we could put away each month) and go from there. There may be things that you can't do that you wanted to but there'll be other ways you can save! I agree the budget tool on here is great (you pop in your budget and it works out how much to spend on each indivual thing!)

    hope thats helpful Smiley smile
