Managing the budget is always tough for most of us. For a special occasion like a wedding, it is of utmost important to understand what is going on with your finances. From nuptials to a romantic honeymoon, everything requires money and as you get more involved with the preps, you begin to lose track of how much you are spending and for what.

This is the reason why you need Mint to track your budget in an interesting visual manner. It even gives an alert when you make a purchase so you know how much is left in your wedding budget.

So your Mint app tells you that hiring a professional DJ would screw up (mind my slang) your budget and you really want to have an amazing playlist ready prior to the big day? Even for other events such as bridal shower, etc., you need to entertain your guests with some tastefully selected music. Spotify to the rescue – woohoo! With the Spotify app, you need a couple of things only: a) a pre-planned list of songs, b) some cool speakers. If the task of selecting music seems tough, you could ask your friends to help out because Spotify users can easily collaborate on playlists. You don’t even need Wi-Fi if you choose the Spotify premium. Hallelujah!
