A May 2026 TD survey revealed that 48 per cent of respondents said the cost of weddings has affected their decision to attend. The survey highlights a growing financial strain on guests, with expenses such as travel, accommodation, gifts, and attire adding up.
Rising Wedding Expenses
Weddings have become increasingly expensive, not just for couples but also for guests. According to the TD survey, nearly half of Canadians have reconsidered attending a wedding due to the financial burden. Costs can include flights, hotel stays, new outfits, and cash gifts, which can total hundreds or even thousands of dollars per event.
