Setting the budget

Planning a wedding in Poland, especially from abroad, requires a well-structured budget. Keep these key factors in mind:

• Total budget: Set a realistic amount, factoring in currency exchange rates and transaction fees—especially if you need the services of a sworn translator (tłumacz przysięgły).
• Essential costs: Allocate funds for major expenses such as the venue, catering, legal paperwork, travel, and photography.
• Related costs: Plan for official translations, notarization, vendor deposits, and last-minute changes. Some payments may require cash or Polish bank transfers.
• Emergency fund: Be prepared for unexpected expenses, such as weather contingencies or guest cancellations.

Info: Use a budgeting tool to track expenses and avoid surprises.
