2013 Wedding Trend Report
Nearly half of those surveyed say $2,500 and less is an appropriate amount to spend on an engagement ring in 2013.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 13, 2013
BluePromoCode.com, a leading marketplace for coupons and deals, today announced the results of a recent study correlating consumer shopping trends among modern couples.
Based on a recent U.S.-based survey of married couples under the age of 35, the findings concluded the following:
- 45% say $2,500 is the maximum appropriate amount to spend for an engagement ring
- 38% would spend less than $10,000 for their wedding
- Target and Bed, Bath, & Beyond are by far the most popular wedding registries
- Only 30% of married couples created their own wedding website
- Women would much prefer to get married in a church, but to ATTEND a wedding on a beach
Other results showed that men and women have strong differences in where they plan to spend their wedding cash. Men were most likely to save or pay down debt while women were most likely to use it for the honeymoon. Women also preferred to have their wedding in a church, yet if they were to attend a wedding they preferred to be on a beach.
Overall, the numbers are trending much lower than those in 2012, based on the annual Real Weddings Study. This suggest even more conservative spending habits among modern couples, one where coupons and online promo codes will play an even larger role moving forward.
“Couples often overpay for their weddings,” said Michael Quoc, CEO of BluePromoCode. “Our coupon service enables them to uncover discounts on the brands they love without having to comprise or sacrifice on the quality of what they want.”

Participants were provided gift cards and other non-cash incentives for their participation.
