“All Weddings Lead to Bankruptcy!” Here’s Help.

“All Weddings Lead to Bankruptcy!”

By MARCINHO SAVANT

Well they don’t have to!!!

Ladies and gentlemen we have diligently, for the past five years, protected our clients’ interests by teaching them  the  savvyplanners.com “F.R.C. Formula”™.  Bankruptcy doesn’t have to be your fate!

This has previously been an exclusive benefit solely for our clients but, given the state of the current economy, we felt it proper to share.  Created in 2004, the “F.R.C. Formula”™ was designed to help couples know that there are options available, that there’s someone on their side and to help clients to help themselves!

It is not rocket science.  The “F.R.C. Formula”™ is, however, a gentle reminder to DREAM about your dream wedding!  It also prevents a lot of pre-wedding arguments about budgeting and spending for the big day.

With the nerves and concerns that swell exponentially prior to a wedding, savvyplanners.com’s “F.R.C. Formula”™ helps to keep the peace, protects your investment and encourages fiscal wedding responsibility in every manner.

“F.” = Fantasize

This is the most spectacular part of the formula!  Go for BROKE!  The sky is the limit!  List all of the items and features that will make this wedding the event of the century in your eyes! Look at the photos, learn about the items, imagine how they’ll look, feel, sound and taste.  Imagine how you’ll feel experiencing all these things on your biggest day.

“R.” = Realize

Admit it!  Wasn’t it fun to live the fantasy?  We do it through and for our clients every day.

Of  COURSE you HAVE to have those imported, individually watered (with a platinum eye dropper) Balinese Phalaenopsis orchid-topped cocktail stirrers you saw on that “Super Dooper Mega” wedding show on television!  YES!

Umm… No.

If you can afford them, we’re EXCITED for you to have them.   But we’d be doing you a gross disservice by just standing there and encouraging you to put yourself in front of an explosive expense without saying a word about options that fit your needs, situation and budget better.

Count on us to help you have the wedding of your dreams while saving your dollars.

This phase of the formula has a tremendous impact both in actuality and emotionally, and can sting a little once you’ve dreamt the dream, but it is crucial to have this reality check to avoid the perils of the blank check.

Learn about the realities of achieving your dream wedding and prepare for the final step.

“C.” = Compromise

Save your marriage before it even begins!  This is the most important step in our collaboration!  Take the options that you wanted.  Compare, apples to apples, some reasonable alternatives or replacements that can have the same impact but will wisely and realistically work in your situation.

Those imported, individually watered Balinese Phalaenopsis orchid-topped cocktail stirrers that you simply CANNOT live without?  Well… you CAN!

How about choosing Dendrobium orchids instead in order to save money if you absolutely have to have those stirrers because they are the coolest thing that you have ever SEEN!?  Maybe you’ll discover you will actually be able to afford Cymbidium orchids after all.   There are so many varieties of wedding orchids to choose from.

The point is to narrow your options to the one that fits you and your fiancé or fiancée the best.   It’s your wedding day!  You’re darned right!  It’s should be everything you want it to be.  Yes, the vision may require some sacrifices. It should not, however, put you in the poor house or create a situation whereby you begin your lives together in a pit of debt if you’re not truly able to afford the expense through careful and thoughtful planning, budgeting and saving.

Compromise, be wise and remember that the formula can be applied to absolutely ANY purchase situation!

The savvyplanners.com’s “F.R.C. Formula”™.  Just one more reason to capitalize on our experience and knowledge to help you make the best decisions and to become a part of the savvyplanners.com client family.  We’ve got your back.
