In 2012 we were invited to 6 weddings! It seemed that everyone we knew that was single decided to get married last year. One of them was a destination wedding that cost us a pretty penny and we just could not decline because it was for my brother-in-law. I’m glad we got a break this year.

In reply to KK @ Student Debt Survivor. I used to be an extreme over-packer, but my hatred of paying more than I absolutely have to eventually won out over my tendency to try and pack the whole house! Packing cubes or those vacuum sealed bags make it easier to get more stuff in a smaller bag, so that may help you get away with just a carry on with your next trip.

In reply to DC @ Young Adult Money. Smart to share a room! It's definitely worth having stuff everywhere if you get to save 50%

In reply to This Life On Purpose. I agree! Low key is the way to go, for sure!

Thankfully we’ve been able to drive to all of our recent weddings which has saved us on flight expenses. I just booked a trip and the bag fee on US Airways is $25 ugg. I’m going to try to get away with packing only a carryon, but I’m sort of a heavy packer, so I don’t think that will happen.

At my friend’s wedding recently that was 4 1/2 hours away, we shared a room with another couple. It can get a bit cluttered with four people’s stuff in one room, but getting two queens is about the same as 1 king, so it ended up saving us 50%!

In reply to Jen @ Frugal Rules.

No matter how frugal we are in every other aspect of our lives, weddings seem to get us to spend more than we’d like no matter what! I know that’s been my experience – but like you, I usually succeed just not quite 100% 🙂 Congratulations on the wedding in July AND a new baby soon! Very exciting times in the Frugal Rules family!

In reply to Clarisse @MakeMoney Your Way. I have one or two dresses that are my go-tos for fancy events. Borrowing works well when you'll be seeing the same people at two different weddings!
