The PR account manager from England says she spent $13,200 going to 20 weddings in four years.

Let’s break it down. She spent $9,250 on weddings and $3,980 on bachelorette parties. She was also a bridesmaid in 7 out of the 20 ceremonies.

So if you can’t afford it, why not just say ‘no’? Georgina Childs explains:

“I wish I could say no, but how do you tell your friends you just don’t think their wedding is within your budget? I used to love going to weddings. It was all new and exciting and although it cost a lot, I could budget ahead of time. But from 2014, invites started arriving thick and fast. My calendar was getting booked up and money was pouring out. I started to panic. It felt like all the other guests could afford things like staying in a nice hotel or chipping in for the joint gift and I couldn’t. There was a pressure to keep up.”
