The cost of wedding has been rising steadily in the recent past where the average wedding cost in the US is about $30,000. In fact, a third of couples doing weddings usually go into debts to finance their weddings.

This is further facilitated by the fact that majority of wedding guests prefer to give cash gifts than buying gifts from stores.
