Weddings are fun, but sweet jesus they are a colossal waste of money.
Agree. And it's insane that the advice for brides/grooms is to *not* tell the service provider it's a wedding because once they hear that word they jack up their prices.I wonder .. you gotta figure the wedding industry has been decimated with COVID. Found an article .. Marriages were down 33% in FL, but down only 10% in AZ. Odd range. And I'm surprised so many went forward, knowing a huge chunk opted not to have large ceremonies/parties. (And a huge chunk did anyway.)I wonder if there is pent-up demand, like the summer of 2022 will be a wedding bonanza.
That's why we booked a year and a half out. I wanted Scotland or Ireland as a destination till we realized I actually have as much family there that'd come. Personally just wanted immediate family and best friends. With her dad being 1/11 my mom 1/6 and dad being 1/9 and a million cousins per side the price skyrockets real quick fml.
They can invite all of those people if they're paying. Personally, I'd stand firm and invite a smaller crowd that is more fun. If these are people you'd see every year and are close with then go for it. I've been a TON of weddings, and the one's that were the biggest had a lot of older family that attended. They showed up, ate some food, said hi and left. Did they want to be there? Did they feel like they HAD to attend or be judged? And then by 9 or 10 the venue feels really empty and when the dance floor is empty you really notice.
