Wedding Party Gifts
Your wedding party consists of the people you care most about, the people who will stand by your side at the alter, plan your bachelor/bachelorette party and give toasts in your honor. On top of all that, they’re about to spend a lot of money celebrating you (dresses, suits and parties aren’t cheap ya know) so getting wedding party gifts is a great way to say thank you!!!
So what do you get them and how much do you spend?
Cost
I took a poll of about 85 people on social media and this is how much past couples spent on their wedding party presents per person:
36% Spent $0 – $100
52% Spent $50 – $100
12% Spent over $100
The average wedding party is 8 people so which means if you’re in the majority you need to budget somewhere around $600 for wedding party gifts.
