Using the estimated costs provided $in$ the case, create a simple budget. $Of$ course, upon review, Dad will comment $Oh,$ boy!$$ Are the time and cost estimates reasonable, why $or$ why not? $(Note$: there $isno$ wrong answer $to$ this question, $itis$ simply a gauge for how you assess each $of$ these elements and not a validator $on$ how much planning should $go$ into $or$ how much money should $be$ spent $on$ a wedding.$)$ Considering the list $of$ items Lauren and Mom plan for the wedding, identify three key items and provide alternatives that would save cost $or$ time $in$ planning this wedding. Include your rationale for the new options and why each $is$ a better choice than the existing idea they presented $in$ the conversation with Dad.
