We men are usually concerned with things like budget and cost, and for good reason. In the UK, researchers have found that weddings are taking a huge chunk out of people’s wallets. The average guest spends about 340 pounds on every wedding. That’s about $670.00 USD! The US may be a different place, but getting married is something every culture in the world celebrates, so everyone has to be careful not to bust their budget. The bride and groom can help their guests by having a varied gift list with several inexpensive choices. I would suggest the couple also find some inexpensive favors for the reception, so as not to spend too much themselves. It’s true that the day of holy matrimony is a once in a lifetime event, but you don’t want friends and family to have financial problems for your sake. You can illustrate this to them by giving practical wedding favors they can use like salt and pepper shaker.
