Their child is <a href=\"\/insights\/5-money-vows-to-make-before-tying-the-knot\">starting a new chapter in life<\/a>, and most want to mark the occasion with the perfect ceremony and reception. Whether parents plan on paying for their child&#8217;s wedding entirely or to help financially, the cost of the celebration can add up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>According to The Knot Real Weddings Study, <\/span>the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. in 2023 was $35,000, but that cost can vary significantly depending on where the wedding is held. For example, a Manhattan wedding might cost upwards of $60,000, while a wedding held in the Midwest might cost around $20,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips for funding the big day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-planning-ahead-is-key\">Planning ahead is key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Parents looking to pay, or assist in paying, for the event should start setting aside money well in advance, says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/people\/angie-oleary\">Angie O&#8217;Leary<\/a>, head of Wealth Planning at RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>\u201cA wedding is a big-ticket expenditure,\u201d O&#8217;Leary says. \u201cParents need to ensure they understand how they are going to fund their child&#8217;s wedding\u2014and the impact it could have on their long-term wealth plan.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>For example, O&#8217;Leary says parents planning to use their investment assets will want to avoid taking out the funds at a time when the markets are down. This can mean moving money to a separate investment account, with less risk, months or even years in advance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>\u201cWe often recommend that people put the money aside in its own account, like you would a college fund,\u201d she says. \u201cPrepare for it. Be ahead of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>O&#8217;Leary says some parents like to gift the money to their kids and have them pay for the nuptials or use the money for other reasons, such as a down payment on a house; but they should be aware of the $18,000 per year, per person gift tax limit. Anything above that amount may subject the parents to gift tax complications.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Couples can receive four, or even eight, times that amount since the $18,000 limit is per child, per parent. In other words, gifts can be $72,000 per parent couple, or up to $144,000 if both sets of parents gift to each child. That\u2019s typically enough to pay for the average wedding, even in New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the wedding is going to cost even more, O\u2019Leary recommends spreading the gift money over more than a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-strategies-to-split-costs\">Strategies to split costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, most couples contribute their own money to their weddings, either to maintain some control of the event or to cover costs beyond the parents\u2019 budget. A recent survey by&nbsp;popular wedding website Zola found about 90 percent of couples are contributing to the cost of their nuptials, with 30 percent covering every penny themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investing their own money allows them the freedom to spend how they want without as much pressure from parents and traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is especially true as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/the-cost-of-marriage-five-money-related-reasons-couples-wait\">couples get married later in life<\/a>, when they\u2019re more financially established, O\u2019Leary says. Or, in some cases, parents may simply refuse to pay for certain costs, such as flying their child\u2019s friends to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/how-to-plan-a-destination-wedding-without-derailing-your-retirement-plans\">Europe or an island for the big day<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSetting expectations and limits is important when there are financial considerations,\u201d O\u2019Leary says. \u201cKids may have different priorities than their parents when it comes to their wedding. You need to figure that out before they start picking venues and placing orders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beware-of-sticker-shock\">Beware of sticker shock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When budgeting for a wedding, it\u2019s important to remember the extra costs, such as sales tax on the cake and wedding attire, rental fees for d\u00e9cor and catering service charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSometimes there can be a little bit of a sticker shock when the final bill comes in,\u201d O\u2019Leary says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She recommends using the services of a wedding planner who has experience sourcing and costing expenses for the big day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving a wedding planner can easily pay for itself several times over,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen you engage with someone who does this for a living\u2014who knows the ins and outs\u2014it just makes sense. Let them focus on hidden costs and spending. That leaves you to focus on the overall budget.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A wedding planner can also reduce stress from planning the event or relying on family and friends\u2014who may have the couple\u2019s best interests in mind, but not their tastes\u2014to handle the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wedding-costs-in-an-overall-wealth-plan\">Wedding costs in an overall wealth plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span>Too often, O&#8217;Leary says parents forget to mention to their financial advisor that they plan on paying for their child&#8217;s nuptials, which means the best strategies to finance the event can get overlooked. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, \u201ca good advisor is always going to bring it up with parents,\u201d she says. \u201cA wedding is a looming expense that needs to be built into their overall wealth plan, alongside&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/college-or-retirement-how-to-save-for-your-childs-future-without-disrupting-yours\">paying for college<\/a>&nbsp;or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/tips-for-helping-your-children-buy-a-home-without-impacting-your-retirement\">helping with a down payment on a house<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial advisors will also help parents pull the money out of the right places, at the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>O&#8217;Leary says there are two places parents should never take money from to fund a child&#8217;s wedding\u2014their home and assets intended to pay for retirement.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>\u201cThere are a million ways to get married, but there&#8217;s only one way to retire,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weddings are joyful and memorable occasions, and with these tips in mind, parents can be ready to support their child\u2019s next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was originally published in 2017.
