Hey girlies,
Something we’ve been thinking about lately is how the wedding industry can be a little bit... ✨extra✨.
You know what we’re talking about.
That moment when you realize the "special wedding napkins" cost three times more than regular napkins, or when you're suddenly considering spending $200 on a cake knife you'll use for exactly 12 seconds. 🎂
In today’s episode, we dive into the wild world of wedding expenses and why the average wedding in 2025 costs $33,000. 💰
(You’ll have to listen in to learn how much it costs to attend a wedding, and how these costs can explode during a certain phase of your life. Also, we found a story from someone who’s going to SIXTEEN weddings in two years. Can you even imagine?!)
Here's what we're dishing about this week:
💎 Which wedding "must-haves" you can definitely rethink
💎 The real tea on what's worth your hard-earned cash and what's just clever marketing
💎 Why we both chose to prioritize good food and photography over fancy cakes and costly favors
💎 Those sweet, meaningful touches that make weddings special without emptying your bank account
💎 Why we’re not against expensive weddings — just mindless spending
As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts after listening. Just hit reply to this email. (Truly, it makes our day 💗).
Until next time,
Emily + Cassidy
