Young People with No Idea What They Are Spending on a Wedding

According to this survey, nearly 50% of young people think a wedding should cost under 50,000 RMB — that's unrealistic. The "three gold" jewelry alone costs around 15,000 RMB, the emcee and related services another 20,000 RMB, and 1,000 RMB per banquet table is already considered the most budget-friendly option. Add in all the other preparation expenses, and the whole process takes 2-8 months with total costs of no less than 100,000 RMB. In first- and second-tier cities, quotes easily reach 200,000 to 360,000 RMB.Life Is Hard

Based on the article's average data, second-tier cities have the lowest spending at 110,000 RMB, first-tier cities at 150,000 RMB, and cities below second-tier at 140,000 RMB. First-tier cities are expensive as expected, lower-tier cities spend more on "face" expenses, while second-tier cities are genuinely the most economical.

I recommend attending various trade exhibitions when possible — it's a fast way to understand basic pricing in any industry.
