GOBankingRates found in a recent survey that the biggest expense for both groomsmen and bridesmaids is the bachelor or bachelorette party. Groomsmen are especially big spenders, though. The average amount they reported spending on a bachelor party is $681.13; whereas, bridesmaids spend $437.31, on average. When planning a bachelor or bachelorette party, keep these costs in mind. And if you want to party in a big city, pick a destination that's fun -- but also affordable.
The biggest spenders hosted weddings in Manhattan, where the average wedding cost $76,328. Next up was Long Island with a cost of $55,327, followed by New Jersey ($53,986) and the Westchester/Hudson Valley area ($52,954) of New York.
