[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does not having a wedding save money?

I got married engagement ring, honeymoon. That I do without or without a big wedding reception.

The actual wedding reception itself cost me way back 25 years ago 20k and I got 20k in checks.

With or without reception same cost. [/quote] not everyone gets that much in wedding gifts.  [/quote]

This is a sad and materialistic post. Just have a small wedding where you invite people you love and not care about how much they donate to your wedding chicken.

But you know that pre-wedding. My wife and I had old siblings already married. So we knew roughly the total

My older sister just wrote it down on a piece of paper gift amounts as cash and checks for her thank youd.

My brother took that list made it Excel type in guests my side of family and added gift amount sisters wedding, then his wedding. I updated list added gift amount my wedding then handed it to sister. My wife had similar thing.

Now with guests at friend level I had been to most of their weddings and know what I gave.

The generous $1,000 uncle and cheapskate $25 uncle gave the same four weddings in a row.

My study was at our 100 person wedding, 10 were cash cows. 80 covered plate and 10 were cash suckers. If I had a 200 person wedding I would have lost a ton.

And you have to make wedding really nice as the $1,000 people don’t want a crap wedding[/quote][/quote]
