Being a wedding guest on a budget

Travel, gifts and showers add up.

4 min read

Attending a friend's wedding can mean travel, a gift, an outfit and showers or bachelor parties.

Tips

  • Decide what you can spend before you RSVP
  • Share a room or a ride with friends
  • Wear or borrow something you already have
  • Give a smaller gift if you're traveling far
  • It's fine to skip a bachelor or bachelorette trip you can't afford
