Beyond the Wedding: Where to Spend Your Budget on Extra Celebrations
Your wedding is the centerpiece, but what about the other celebrations? From Sheva Brachot and Shabbat Chatan (Aufruf) to an engagement party, rehearsal dinner, or pre-wedding celebrations, it’s important to prioritize where to allocate your budget—and to find ways your family and community can help!
💡 Sheva Brachot – Traditionally hosted by different friends or family members, keeping costs low. Consider potluck-style meals or a shared venue to make it easy for everyone.
💡 Shabbat Chatan/Kallah – Hosting a kiddush in shul instead of a full meal can help with costs. Family members can sponsor food, and community members can help with setup.
💡 Engagement Party – Keep it simple with a home gathering or a dairy menu. Parents and close friends often help cover costs.
💡 Bachelor/Bachelorette Party – A local spa day, beach trip, or fun potluck night can be budget-friendly.
💡 Rehearsal Dinner – If needed, opt for a relaxed meal at home or a Friday night Shabbat gathering.
With smart planning and community support, you can celebrate without stretching your budget! ✨
