The average cost of a wedding in Manhattan is over $88,000. That’s right, eighty eight THOUSAND dollars for just one day of your life. What’s worse is that the amount of money you spend isn’t really on you, it is to feed your guests, entertain your guests, etc. If the real purpose of a wedding is for two people in love to get married, why do you have to spend so much money on your guests?
You can spend thousands of dollars to provide your guests with an exceptional wedding show, or you can spend just a few thousand dollars on your wedding and spend the rest of that money on something better and lasting. Here are a 4 things you could spend your money on if you choose a New York pop-up wedding over a traditional wedding:
A Down Payment
Isn’t it crazy that you could make a down payment on a home that lasts a lifetime for the same amount of money (or even less depending on where you live) as you could spend on one day for your wedding?! If a no-fuss wedding is an option for you, I say save invest the money in to something much more important than feeding your guests.
College
Think about how appreciative your future child would be if you saved that money for their college education! That could pay for a whole lot of books and would go even further if you invest it.
Honeymoon
Life is all about experiences. Instead of blowing all your savings on a wedding, how about taking the trip of a lifetime to celebrate your brand new start? You could travel the whole world with the money you save by having a New York elopement.
Luxury Car
Maybe all this responsible talk is making your skin crawl and you want to spend those thousands of dollars on something that makes you feel good. Just think, you can buy a luxury car or even two depending on what kind you want.
