When a Couple Sells Tickets to Their Wedding by Miss Know It All

 

Miss Know It All

Iam giving away my age when it comes to weddings and who should pay.

 

Thefirst wedding I attended was in the 50s. As a rule, the bride’s parents paidfor the wedding. And the last wedding I went to was in the 90s. I am not surewho paid for the festivity, but I do know the bride and groom never asked theirguests to purchase tickets to attend their nuptial, and if they did, the talkamong friends and relatives would have made a memorable talk of the town.

Howthe dynamics have changed, and some weddings, especially larger or moreelaborate ones, may require guests to buy tickets. This approach can helpmanage guest lists and cover costs for elaborate venues or specialentertainment. I read where a couple was selling tickets for $350.00 to attendtheir wedding party.

 

Theaverage cost of a wedding has seen a steady increase compared to previousyears. This uptick is attributed to a combination of inflation, heighteneddemand for personalized experiences, and the continued impact of post-pandemiceconomic recovery. While the average expenditure varies widely depending onlocation, style, and guest count, couples are generally spending more to creatememorable and unique celebrations.

 

Theaverage wedding, depending on where you live, can cost anywhere from $25,00 to $75,000dollars. When it comes to planning a wedding, couples pay for their ownwedding, or both parents of the bride and groom will pay. Of course, culturaland ethnic differences may play a role as to who will pay for the wedding.

 

Ican understand setting up a gift registry. But when you sell tickets to financeyour wedding, you may be asking others to go into debt to pay for yourfestivity. You and your partner are getting married not your guests.

 

Beforesaying, I Do, decide if you are financially able to plan an elaborate fête. Ifyou are already in debt, it will only get worse if you take on a biggerobligation that can stick with you for years to come, affecting your credit rating.

 

Youcan always go to City Hall or plan an economicalwedding.

 

Spendtime on ways to build a long and happy marriage, which is more important than spendingmoney you don’t have on the wedding. ##
