Planning the Cost of Your Wedding—BOYS
You have the chance to plan your own wedding! Your assignment will be to estimate how much it will cost for the engagement, marriage, reception, honeymoon, etc. You need to be as realistic as possible with money you will have to spend. You will be given a budget in which you are not allowed to over spend. You will list today what you anticipate the cost to be and at the end of the assignment you will list the actual price. You will then compare dreams with realities. Work within a budget as you plan and prepare this assignment. It will be helpful.
Be descriptive and careful as you make choices for your wedding. Take time and make this assignment neat so that you can use it in the future. Include pictures and printouts from actual business as you visit them. You may also include pictures out of magazines, or from the internet.
