Planning a wedding could be one of the biggest projects one can embark on. You may think you have everything covered but there are a few that will just slip past your outlined budget leaving you to make last minute unplanned costs.

1. Outfits for pre wedding events

You will not see this coming until you start gushing out money for outfits for your pre wedding photo shoots, court wedding attires, traditional wedding even outfits for hen nights!

2. Undergarments and Accessories

Sparkling white bustiers. Girdles. Bracelets. Hairpins. New pair of briefs or boxers. These just slips under the radar until its almost too late thereby incurring expenses you never planned for.

3. Hair and Makeup trials

You want to get a flash makeover to see if your makeup artist is as good as she claims? Be prepared.

4. Extra Alterations

The bridal gown you ordered is a size bigger or the bust is too wide? The wedding suit pants is wide enough to fit a head. Tailors love situations like this. A quick way to get a few thousands out of you.

5. Audio at the ceremony

Whose responsibility is it anyway? Very crucial aspect or it will have you running around at the last minute.

6. Lighting and Generators

Don't think the interior decorator, the d-jay or the EMCEE is going to do this for you. Don't reply too much on hall management owners to have this side covered. Don't be caught unawares.

7. Feeding the vendors

Oh you didn't budget the live band members food? Hungry singers will sound croaky.

8. Tips and gratuities

No matter how detailed you think you are, this you don't just plan for. A traffic officer who has helped control vehicular movement around your venue. *coughs*

9. Sales tax and service charges

In little ways VAT and service charges can deplete your resources. You don't plan for them. They are right there waiting for you.

10. Overtime Costs

The generator is to be returned at 6. Your guests are still dancing by 7.pm. Want extra hours from the live band? Overtime costs are not always planned.

11. Delivery, Set up and breakdown fees

Logistics of getting and moving items, setting up of equipment is not free.

12. A hotel room

Oh well you can plan for this if you are smart. Many though have been caught unaware of this detail.

13. Breakfast and lunch for the wedding party

No breakfast for the girls that stayed with you all through your final night as a miss? Your boys have been with you all through your long church wedding ceremony and food is finished??

14. Gifts for your parents

Just face it. You will not plan for this. Is it really necessary? You be the judge you ungrateful child.

15. Unexpected & uninvited guests

My wedding will be strictly by invitation! Okay. Next...

16. Completely unpredictable stuff

Don't look at me. These things happen.

17. Wait...what about you?

You can forget yourself in the head count. It happens.
