Managing wedding expenses

A wedding brings several expenses, which require proper management and planning. While there are different avenues you can opt for to fund the wedding, here are some cost-saving tips if you choose to use your credit card.

Choose a card with high-reward categories for wedding purchases: Cards that offer elevated rewards on dining, travel, hotels, entertainment, etc., are ideal for booking venues, photographers and catering.

Maximise sign-up bonuses: While planning a wedding well in advance, consider applying for a new credit card with a significant sign-up bonus.

Use credit card perks for insurance costs: Many premium credit cards offer travel insurance, which can cover wedding-related expenses like flight cancellations or lost luggage. These benefits can save on unforeseen expenses and urgent requirements.
