That’s pretty awesome! Also, if you’re excited with the destination wedding and can make your own vacation out of it that’s totally worthwhile. (I think anyways haha).

Luckily our friends are basically all still here so costs are minimal – the most recent one was in a lovely spot about 90 mins away and we actually took the opportunity to book a B&B out there and make an overnight of it!

Hahaha yeah it does, but it was totally worth it!

Hey, fair enough! And totally understandable. I would do the same if I felt I’d rather spend my money elsewhere.

Hahaha fair enough. I’ll probably never keep track again, but it was an interesting inside look. Ahhh bridesmaid dresses are totally outrageous cost wise! But you’re right, it’s all about supporting loved ones and friends.

Of course! Canmore is by far my favorite place ever! Flights are always the kicker and can end up being the reason for budgets to come crashing down haha. I sometimes borrow outfits for friends as well, and normally would unless it’s a family members wedding and I need to wear the right color/style! Italy will be wild and so so amazing! It’s so true, weddings are way better now that I know what goes into the planning.

Oh Florida and Hawaii would be expensive no doubt! Really?! You’ve been to so many weddings hahaha that’s wild! I’ve only been to around 5 or 6 at this point. Although, I might be losing track. The demographics probably include both your crazy large fam and my extremely tiny one!

They were both for coworkers of mine and while I like them a lot they’re really just acquaintances. We don’t spend time together outside of work and I really couldn’t justify spending the money on a gift and a hotel stay when we have so many other better things to do with out money.

I guess I try not to keep track. I found that it makes me more miserly than I care to be. I haven’t been to too many out of town weddings, so that helps. I do end up standing up in weddings more than being a “just” a guest, so that really adds up. I have one this summer with a bridesmaid dress that will clock in at about $400. It’s so easy to moan and groan, but that’s not why I was asked to stand up in the wedding! Like you, I just sock away x dollars every month and try not to sweat it.
