Country Club Wedding

The country club wedding is usually a lavish affair in beautiful surroundings. It is also very expensive.

A relative had one about three years ago and her wedding cost about as much as I make in one year.

If you and your family can afford this and not go into debt, then that is fine. But do not go into debt trying to impress your friends and relatives.

With the average American wedding costing about $27,000, a lot of people are either going into debt or tapping into their retirement funds to pay for a party for their adult child that will last just a few short hours. To me, that is crazy. Do not forfeit your future to keep up with the Joneses. It is just not worth it!Getting back to the topic at hand, the ceremony and reception, complete with catering, band, ice sculptures and alcoholic beverages were provided for a set fee. All in all, a beautiful affair but......

I am sure that if you or your parents are members of a country club, they will most likely give you a discounted rate, but you will still spend a fortune on a party.

If I have that kind of money when my daughter gets engaged, I will encourage her to choose a simpler wedding and take the bulk of the wedding money and use it as a down payment on a house.

Remember, a wedding and reception last for just a few hours at most, but you will need a home to live in for years to come.

There are some definite advantages to having a country club wedding. The country club employees will do everything for you, which takes a huge load of stress and worry off of your shoulders.

There will be plenty of space for your guests and you will not have to worry about them being comfortable. The employees will see to that. There will be valet parking and plenty of it if you are having a large wedding.

Restrooms will be clean and attended to. Messes and spills will be cleaned up right away. Service will be at its highest. The food will be excellent and served on beautiful china. Your family will not have to worry about helping with clean up.

Your guests will not have to travel first to a church and then to a reception hall. Everything is conveniently located and most of them will love being at the country club.
