The average cost of a wedding has risen to a record high of $ 35 329, and this celebration is also expensive for guests: a plane ticket, a hotel room, a wedding attire, a gift for newlyweds and participation in a bachelor party or bachelorette party. Thus, a couple thousand dollars must be allocated for the wedding of a friend or relative.

According to a new poll on the website Tendrwedding guests give an average of $ 160 per pair. But the amount varies depending on the state.

For example, in New York, it is customary to give an average of $ 191 (although it is likely that Manhattan will have to fork out more). The most generous guests were in Vermont - on average, each gives $ 245.

Weddings are expensive, and this applies not only to the bride and groom. Nearly half of couples who got married in 2015 year celebrated weddings in more than 321 km from home. This means that even friends and relatives of the family will have to rent a hotel, and visitors will not be able to stay in the house of relatives. Meanwhile, 23% couples held a wedding outside the country.

No less expensive was the pre-wedding hype. If earlier a bachelor party or a bachelorette party meant a disco in a club where guests drank and sang karaoke, now it’s a 2-3 rest day in cities like Las Vegas or New Orleans, or renting a house in Montok for the weekend. Site Travelfy found that the average cost of a bachelorette party in 2015 was $ 244 per person, with the exception of the road.

Like us wrote previously, in 2016, the average number of guests at the wedding was 141 people, compared to 149 in 2009. On average, a couple spent $ 2016 on one guest in 245, in 2009, this amount was $ 194.
