[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is paying off their student loan debt with weddings.  Even weddings in which only cash is requested, they're not making out that great.  And that cash is always used for the honeymoon, definitely not balls.  [/quote]

OP - I am one of four kids and last one to be married. My oldest sister for thank yous put in the amount next to guest name when she was about to cash checks, for thank you notes. My brother got married next and used list as starting point, but put it in excel, next my sister got married and updated it. Then I had list.

By time I got married going rate was 5K, father of groom, 1k, close uncles and siblings, $500 well off couples and close couples. Singles $125 to $200.

Last big wedding I went to was around 400 people in attendance and father of Bride paid whole thing.  You do math. And tax free money.

I went to an Orthodox Jewish wedding once. 500 people and all gifts were 2-5k. Big bucks. Father of Bride paid for wedding and bought groom a new car as a gift. Father of Groom bought a water front mansion as a gift. That was a great wedding.

Want to buy my daughter a mansion, heck new car and I pay for the wedding!!       [/quote]
