Fromwedding dress shoppingto cake tasting and invitations, it’s a whirlwind full of planning.
While weddings are an exciting (and stressful) time, they can also be expensive.
In 2021, the average wedding cost was a whopping $28,000 (perThe Knot).
But how much does it really cost to throw one?
The same goes for guests; the more guests, the more expensive the event.
And will you hire a professional photographer or rely on guests to take photos?
The bridesmaids typically pay for the bridal shower and split the cost among themselves (viaBrides).
However, anybody can choose to throw the event, and whoever does typically take on the expenses.
It’s recommended that the bridesmaids offer to pitch in, either monetarily or by providing their help.
The bottom line is that how much is spent on the bridal shower is up to those throwing it.
The first step, according toDiscover, is to zero in on specific goals.
Establishing expectations with the bride is recommended so everybody knows where they should invest their money.
