What is the average cost of a wedding?
In the US, the average cost of a wedding is approximately US$28,000 to US$30,000. Locally, based on the feedback from visitors to our website, www.trinidadweddings.com, I would say that the majority of weddings cost between TT$30,000 to TT100,000 and over; therefore we can estimate that the average cost of a wedding here may be around TT$65,000. Now, that's quite a wide spectrum but it all depends on the couple's budget and other pertinent factors such as: number of guests, the style of the reception, type of honeymoon chosen etc.

Do we have to invite our co-workers to our wedding?
There are so many challenges when it comes to inviting or not inviting work colleagues and then of course, there's the other issue of whether you should also issue an invitation for their mate and family? If you're having an "adult-only" reception, you've basically solved the issue about inviting their family but you still have to decide whether you want to or can afford to invite your colleagues' partners. You can choose either option. You may choose to only invite colleagues who are close to you. Chances are they may even carpool to your wedding and if they all get along well, they can sit as a group at their own table.
Alternatively, you can invite each colleague and their partner. Another option is to ask co-workers to share in your joy by inviting them to the ceremony and explaining that you are hosting a reception that's simple and intimate and only for the immediate family. However, if you are on a tight budget or simply prefer a small celebration, you're best bet is honesty. Simply clue them in that although you would love to invite their other halves, you can only afford to invite a select few. You can also avoid an invitation entirely, as long as you let them know that because of your budget, you've chosen to host an intimate affair focusing mainly on guests who are "family".
When should we send thank you cards out?
As a rule of thumb, however, thank you cards should be sent within one month of the wedding. In the event that any pre-wedding gifts are received, thank you cards should be sent immediately.
