If you’re planning on attending a Wedding in the coming months then it might help to start saving your pennies now.
Weddings on Female First
New research from Hen Heaven and The Stag Company shows that it can be pretty expensive to be a guest at a Wedding these days.
It’s not just the outfits, hair and make-up that will scare your bank balance, but other expenses surrounding the big day such as travel and childcare.
Shockingly, if you’re attending a Wedding you could end up spending over £1000 just to be a guest!
Many Weddings will often take place somewhere far from where you live, meaning travel costs will mount up before you know it.
And who will look after the kids whilst you’re away? Childcare is a must, especially if you’re travelling abroad and it doesn’t come cheap!
It’s always an honour to be the Maid of Honour or the Best Man but it can be a costly affair, often leaving us praying that we’re not picked to carry out the role.
Then there are the costs you’ll forget about, such as the hen party which is a must for any bride-to-be but can cost an arm and a leg.
And what if you need to take time off work? Will you take it as annual leave or as an unpaid holiday? Either way you might end up out of pocket.
