If your wedding party is looking a little thinner this year, blame it on their bottom line.
More than 40% of consumers invited to
We can't exactly blame them.
Between hotel stays, transportation, bachelor(ette) parties, party attire, and wedding gifts, guests are spending on average $539 to attend a wedding, up 59% from last year.
And just because a guest who RSVPs 'yes' doesn't mean they can afford the expense. About 36% of respondents said they dealt with so much peer pressure that they went into debt to attend a friend's wedding.
Most advice on saving on wedding costs tend to favor the bride and groom's side of things. But we've got a spending tip for cash-strapped guests out there: split everything. Find friends or relatives willing to share hotels or go in on a gift together to trim costs.
