Spoiling guests more
With fewer guests in attendance, it looks like many couples decided to splurge a bit more on the ones who were invited. The average money spent per guest was up from 2019 to 2020 from $214 to $244. In fact, some guests were very spoiled as the studies found some couples gave out individual hors d’oeuvres such as miniature charcuterie boards, and some even arranged for butler/bottle service so guests wouldn’t have to mingle at open bars. That being said, 70 percent of couples did still have an open bar. And even if crowding around the cake wasn’t safe, 86 percent of couples stuck to the traditional cake-cutting ceremony.
