That is nuts! My Mom told me that she spent like $3,000.00 on her wedding in the 70's. Can you imagine....

When people say how much there wedding costs do they usally include costs of engagement rings?

Re: Bridal spending has increased 100% over last 15 years, the average cost of a wedding now tops $27,000.
The average altar-bound
woman is now 27 years old, (I turned 28 two weeks before my wedding)
her fiancé is 29, (DH turned 30 one month before the wedding)
will be engaged for a period of 14 months, (15 months for us)
their wedding will have 165 guests, (168 guests for us)
I think that is pretty close

I agree with you!!!!!!!! I am way over that, and I am budgeting like crazy! The RH along is costing FH and I more than that (but we are having about 250 people at the wedding).

Re: Bridal spending has increased 100% over last 15 years, the average cost of a wedding now tops $27,000.
When we did our budget we didn't count our rings at all... It's scary how much everything costs, and really sad that when a vendor knows it's a wedding as opposed to a party or something, they increase the prices!

We are younger (25 and 27 when married)
will be engaged longer (18 months to the day)
and will be spending more (no comment!  )
Our guest # will be around that though!

Re: Bridal spending has increased 100% over last 15 years, the average cost of a wedding now tops $27,000.
that number is skewed. It's not as common here in the NY metro area. For those spending more than 27K don't sweat it. For 165 people that's almost impossible here.

When all is said and done, that's about how much our wedding will cost us, BUT we are only having about 100 people and that is NOT including the cost of the rings!!

Re: Bridal spending has increased 100% over last 15 years, the average cost of a wedding now tops $27,000.
Well, me and FH are younger then the average age.
At the time of the wedding we will both be 26 yrs old.
I am inviting about 160 people.
I will be engaged for exactly 24 months.
Not really sure how much the wedding total is.
I think the average wedding a few years back cost around $15k. Unfortunately, my father still thinks that is all it cost. Me and my mom know the true.
