A recent study by ‘This Is Money’, revealed that 25% of stag/hen participants spend more than £300 on a pre-wedding knees up, with 18% having to borrow money to attend. The rising cost is perhaps due to the increased popularity of trips abroad, with Amsterdam, Prague and Riga topping the list of most popular destinations. But are these trips abroad all they’re cracked up to be, and are they worth it if your nearest and dearest can’t afford to come with you?
It was also revealed that one in five Brits have had to turn down an invite because they couldn’t afford to go, and 15% felt like they had to attend, even though they couldn’t afford to. If having your friends and family around you is more important than the destination, then it might make sense to choose somewhere a bit cheaper, somewhere a bit closer to home.
