With hotels, gifts, drinks on the day, hen or stag dos and outfits for the occasion- attending a wedding can be an expensive business, (approx. £400!) so many guests are finding ways to cut costs when they arrive at the venue according to One4all Gift Card. With many wanting to spend £50.00 or less on a wedding gift, which is lower than expected, there are very few gift list items that come in on budget. Attempts to dodge or reduce other costs are made in other areas of the day too. Here is how some guests reduce their spend at weddings!
Weddings on Female First
A lot decide to ignore the wedding list altogether and buy another gift of their choosing
Many opt to buy the least expensive gift on the gift list
Some guests simply give a really nice card and hope their presence is enough
Some drink the booze on offer for tasting and on arrival and stay on non alcoholic beverages for the rest of the night to aviod costly bar bills
Many guests book hotels in and around the area rather than the hotel venue as this can often be the most expensive overnight stay
A good number of women buy their dress and accessories months before so they don't have to pay for everything at once
