Weddings are becoming more costly for guests, with average expenditure exceeding £2,000 annually. Factors contributing to these costs include travel, accommodation, outfits, and gifts, with those aged 25 to 34 spending the most. Affected guests report significant financial strain, especially when facing multiple weddings in a season. The trend towards multi-event celebrations further elevates expenses, leading to challenges in budgeting and financial management for those invited. Many attendees are saving before wedding seasons to cope with these rising prices, which can impact their personal and holiday allowances.
The average guest spends over £2,000 annually on weddings, with major costs stemming from travel, accommodation, outfits, and gifts, reflecting rising wedding expenses.
Younger guests, especially those aged 25 to 34, are most affected, averaging £740 per wedding. This demographic is typically invited to multiple weddings each year.
The growing trend of multi-wedding formats escalates financial expectations for guests, causing concerns about affordability and personal budgeting during wedding seasons.
