THE AVERAGE COST OF WEDDINGS IN 2018 Our Real Weddings Study is hot off the presses—and we’ve got the deets. In 2018, couples spent an average of $33,931 total on their wedding day. Here’s the breakdown of a couple key categories. (Remember: These numbers reflect the national average, so don’t be alarmed if you’re spending more or less.)

With The Knot registry, your options are truly limitless. Set up a wish list at big-box retailers like Target and Crate & Barrel, register for one-off items from your favorite Etsy shop or even ask for cash for a new car, your honeymoon or even a house fund. And while you’re at it, do some good too. Link a charity registry to your wedding wish list and we’ll give money to an organization like VOW (that protects girls against child marriage) for every gift your guests purchase. We call that a win-win. 30
