FAQs

Answers to common questions about The Budget Wedding Bible.

What is The Budget Wedding Bible?

A library of DIY wedding guides. Each one shows what the project costs to make, what the same thing costs ready-made, and how to make it step by step.

What is free?

The cost and savings, the materials list with prices and the introduction to every guide are free. The steps, the guest-count table, tips, mistakes to avoid, the printable checklist and the filters are in the library.

Is it a one-time payment?

Yes. You pay once and keep access for as long as the site runs. There is no subscription.

Where do the prices come from?

From mainstream stores in your country, checked on the date shown on each guide. Prices change, so treat them as a close estimate.

What is your refund policy?

Access starts right away, so the EU right of withdrawal ends once you unlock. If the library does not work for you and we cannot fix it, you get your money back.

How do I get in after buying?

Your receipt email contains a license key. Paste it on the Unlock page. It works on up to 5 devices.
