I Was Invited To 5 Weddings This Year—Here’s How I’m Attending Them On A Budget

Save the dates have arrived, my search tabs include multiple wedding registries, and my email contains several flight confirmations. It’s a good problem to have. Emotionally, I’ll have a blast at my friends’ weddings and won’t ever regret making those memories, but it’s still a drain on the non-emotional entity named “bank account.”

This year, I was invited to five weddings, four bachelorette parties, and asked to be a bridesmaid twice. Now, hear me out. I love celebrating my friends and having a fun time, especially quality girl time, and it’s also such an honor to be asked to be a bridesmaid! It makes me so happy to be there for a close friend or sister and witness her elated commitment to the love of her life! I identify with the movie 27 Dresses in that way.
