Until you find yourself in that position, you might think thatwedding planningis nothing but fun and romantic (particularly if you have dreamt about the big day since the 5th grade). But it can also get incredibly stressful, or even upsetting, too, especially when you realize that you can’t have certain things you dreamt of while in said 5th grade; like 300 people on the invitee list.
Being an adult and realizing that there’s finances at play, too (and not only dreams and ideas scribbled in the dusty scrapbook), might significantly influence certain wedding-related decisions. That’s why it’s crucial for the happy couple to discuss their wedding budget in advance and make sure they’re on the same page.
Studies on people’s financial goals reveal that quite a few couples not only discuss finances before the wedding, but join them before saying “I do”, too. According to A Brides & Investopedia studyfrom 2021, close to half of surveyed couples in the US, who are planning their wedding, already have joint accounts before the big day; three-in-five of them say that they regularly talk about money, too.

If you’re wondering how big of a chunkweddingstend to take from a couple’s budget,The Knot revealedthat the average cost of a wedding last year stood at around $35,000 USD. According to said source, the venue and the catering seem to be the two largest financial burdens; and bearing in mind that the size of both is directly linked to the number of guests, it’s no surprise that they might require shortening the invitee list a little.
If you’re now wondering about the size of the invitee list, a year ago, the average number on such a list was 115.The Knot reportsthat the majority of happy couples—57%, to be exact—invite 101+ guests to celebrate their big day; close to a third (30%) invite somewhere between 51 and 100, and only 13% of couples opt for a celebration of less than 50 people.
