While the bride and groom (and their family) usually take the biggest financial hit on their wedding day, guests can end up forking out hundreds just to attend. According to Experian, the average cost for a guest in 2024 was £451.
Costs can soar even further if it’s a destination wedding once you have factored in flights, accommodation, and outfits. If you’ve got more than one wedding in a year, that adds up quickly.
We would like to hear from people who have been wedding guests about how much they spent. Where did you go, and what was your relation to the bride and groom? We would also like to hear from those who have had to say no to a wedding invitation because of the costs.
