The sunshine is finally here, which means wedding season is upon us, and many Brits can expect to spend lots of weekends – and money – celebrating their loved ones’ nuptials this summer.

While being a wedding guest is a privilege, it can also set you back a pretty penny, with American Express reporting that attending someone’s Big Day costs an average of £320 per celebration.

It revealed that between buying gifts, outfits, and drinks; getting hair and make-up done; going on stag or hen dos; and arranging travel and accommodation, the cost of being part of a wedding can easily exceed a few hundred pounds.

However, one way to save money when watching friends or family tie the knot is to share the cost of presents with group gifting.

The Sun suggested using websites like prezola.com where you can share the cost of wedding gifts with other guests, so the bride and groom can still get what they want without you having to break the bank to afford it.

The website allows friends and family to contribute to a gift rather than buying it in its entirety, which also makes it easier for the couple to ask for expensive items without feeling guilty.

“If you plan to spend £80 or more, choose from gifts on Prezola ranging from household items to fun days out,” the article suggested.

Of course, one of the best presents to give to loved-up couples cannot be found on gift list sites – a special photo of the pair together.

If you are able to get your hands on a picture of the bride and groom, you can get it enlarged and put it in a special picture frame so they can hang it up in their new marital home.
