$25 and $50
Not only is the cost of a wedding soaring — couples spent an average of $30,000 in 2013, according to TheKnot.com, up from $28,000 the year before and the highest level since 2008 — but wedding guests are spending more than ever, as well. Couples spent an average $220 per guest at weddings in 2013, according to TheKnot.com, including $66 on food alone.
