Great numbers. So many areas within the wedding industry are constantly changing. It will be great to see where the industry goes in the next couple years.

I think at the end of the day, the budget issue is a matter of what works for the couple. These averages can be published, but even within a city, things vary so much from couple to couple.

A lot of commenters need to calm the heck down their judgmental tones. People have different priorities about what should be done with their disposable incomes. If some people want to and can afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a special, lavish party so all of their friends and family can cme together to celebrate the couple’s love and commitment to one another, then that is their prerogative. Jesus. Nobody’s criticizing you for how much you spent on your barbecue grill or truck or home or WHATEVER.

I don’t feel like Thank you notes are a place to go virtual. What if everyone sent you a virtual gift? Thank you notes should still be hand written, not matter how great the technology.

I am amazed at these statistics. I have a wedding and reception slated for under 6k allowing for a 10% costs unforeseen token, and most of my contracts are already lined up and costs are locked in. I personally can’t fathom paying as much as the “average” in my area (Dallas–about $25k) even if it were within range for my personal finances.

I love the effort put into design and user experience. The iPhone, any Apple product for that matter, and mint.com make life more enjoyable.
