The Wedding Savings Account

Budget & Planning >

The average cost of a wedding will vary — slightly — depending on whom you ask. But whether it’s $25K or $27K or something in between is beside the point. Plain and simple, weddings can cost a lot of dough.

Couples looking to get ahead in the savings department can find help through certain local credit unions, which may offer wedding savings or registry accounts. Nerdwallet has a roundup of 10 account programs from Credit Unions across the U.S. Some accounts simply earn interest, others allow for family and friends to help contribute to the wedding fund.

Don’t think these programs are confined to one-off locations, either. One program, the Wedding Savings Account from America First Credit Union, is available at the institution’s 101 locations across Utah and Nevada.

Check out the full list on Nerdwallet to see if one is available in your area.
