Winter is over so thankfully summer is not too far away. We can look forward to sunshine, Pimms and Wimbledon. But for thousands of loved-up couples it''s also the ideal time to tie the knot.

Depending on how old you are, you might only have one wedding to go to this summer, but if you are between the ages of 25 and 35 you are probably going to be attending a wedding at least once a month, if not every other week this wedding season.

Although weddings are a time to celebrate, catch up with old friends, meet new ones and generally party the night away in a marquee somewhere, they are rather costly. From flowers to invitations, hair to shoes the whole thing can spiral out of control turning into a stress-filled nightmare for the bride and groom and probably their parents too.

However, it isn''t just the latest Mr and Mrs that will be looking for spare cash down the back of the sofa. Guests ? particularly women ? also have to shell out more than a few pounds for the joyous day.

Weddings require a certain dress code. Men can usually pull off the same suit with a mere tie change for each occasion, but ...
... women aren''t so lucky and are under pressure to have a new dress for each wedding and sadly Primark doesn''t have a great range of wedding attire. This means a Karen Millen and Ted Baker price range, which after you have bought three dresses is not leaving your bank balance in a healthy condition.

Next you have to get to the wedding and possibly even stay overnight in a hotel. Weddings are often times for old friends to be reunited and this can mean a trip to Manchester from London or even Seville from Leeds. This could mean saying adios to your own summer holiday this year.

Presents are not only another expense but it can be quite tricky knowing what to buy, especially if you are attending a wedding of a school friend you haven''t seen in 10 years. However, there is an answer: wedding gift lists.

Wedding gift lists mean the different between getting 10 packs of white towels and two silver candlesticks and everything the bride and groom could want and need when they get married. They are created online with either a department store or a specific gift website, and guests enter the names of the bride and groom in the search box and the list pops up. You can then choose an item that is suitable, at a price you can afford to pay and the website then delivers the gift with a message from you to the happy couple. Easier than saying ''I do''.
