Getweded Magazine, April 2019 | 84 Step 2 – Work out how much to save each month and start early Once you've set your wedding budget and worked out the cost of each item, work out how much you'll need to save to meet this target or how long it will take if you have a monthly sum in mind. You need to be real about what you can achieve and how much you can afford every month. For example, if you both plan to have N1,000,000 wedding in one year's time, each of you would need to save around N42,000 a month. However, if you start saving two years before the wedding, you'd only need to save N21,000 individually each month.
