How Much Will You Spend? 

 

Most Families Will Be Touched By This Issue. 

I know a lot of families who just can’t come up with the cash to cover the cost of a wedding. Depending on who you talk to, the national average is between $16,000 and $20,000 for a wedding. And when the young bride and groom-to-be have lived out on their own for awhile, they may be faced with having to pay for all or part of the wedding themselves. Coming up with a large amount of cash is typically difficult, regardless of your situation.  And most of us, be it families or young singles, are already carrying some debt. But considering all of this, a wedding is a very important event; it’s one of those milestones in life. But should we put that expense on a credit card and be burdened with paying it off long after the wedding is over?

I don’t believe anyone wants to go into debt, but we seem to have the mindset that there’s just no other way. And… if you start looking at the many wedding and bride magazines it’s easy to get anxious. But there’s no need to get anxious, so don’t panic.  A wedding does not have to be a budget buster; there are ways to hold down the expense and have a beautiful wedding.
