Bridesmaids
One-third of bridal party members said they went into debt for the wedding.
  • Bridesmaids spend an average of $1,900 being part of a bridal party, according to The Knot.
  • A 2019 study found a third of bridal party members went into debt to cover related expenses.
  • One bridesmaid told The Cut she is spending $3,200 on her friend's wedding this summer.

It's not unheard of these days for a wedding to cost as much as a down payment on a home — but what about the people attending or standing up in the nuptials?
