Problem Statement
In 2011, the average wedding budget was $27,021, with an average guest attendance of 141, and an average wedding dress cost of $1,121. Wedding planning can be a very lengthy, strenuous, and complicated process that involves a great deal of time, money, and resources.1
I am getting married in June of 2013 and I have 12 months to plan and execute a wedding for 75 guests, with a budget of $5000.
If all goes well and according to plan, a successful wedding and reception will have been executed within budget and time constraints for 75 guests including ample photography, music, food, cake, and decoration. A poorly executed project however can result in an array of difficulties including: vendors backing out, going over budget, falling behind schedule, wedding party members not following through with commitments, wedding day events being delayed, and not providing for enough guests.
Assumptions
The following is a list of assumptions that will be used to guide the wedding planning process from initial research to implementation and execution. * All pre-wedding events, including bridal showers, bridal luncheons, bridal teas, engagement parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties, and wedding showers will be planned and paid for by the bride and groom’s parents or members of the wedding party, and therefore will not be the responsibility of the couple to plan or fund. These events will be cleared with the bride and groom and will also be executed according to plan and will be coordinated
