How Much Weddings Really Cost You TO ATTEND

Some people LOVE to go to weddings . . . some people HATE them . . . but EVERYONE experiences pause over how much it’s going to cost.

According to one report, the average SINGLE person should expect to spend $461 to attend a wedding.  For a couple, it’s about $550 . . . that’s more because you need attire for two people, but you can split travel, a hotel, and a gift.

On average, men’s attire costs $333, mostly for nice shoes.  A woman’s outfit costs $314.  They estimate travel at $80 . . . accommodations at $145 . . . and a wedding gift at $150.

Of course, if you’re being invited to multiple weddings, you don’t need new clothes for each one.  The average woman can get three weddings out of one outfit, while the average man can get five weddings out of his.

The average adult American attends two weddings per year.

It’s even more expensive if you’re IN the wedding. 

A single member of the bridal or groom party can expect to pay $2,137 to attend both the wedding and a bachelor or bachelorette party.

If it’s YOUR wedding, you should expect it to cost at least $232 per guest.  The average wedding has 115 guests . . . so that puts the total at more than $26,000.
