Alright, people! It’s time to start carefully budgeting your paid vacation days, saving your pennies, and putting on your happiest game face no matter how you actually feel about everlasting love — because it’s officially summer wedding season. While the responsibilities of being a guest can be extensive and, ahem, expensive, there are definitely also perks. The food! The dance floor! The fact that it’s someone else's relatives all gathered together at the same time! Plus, it's the perfect opportunity to actually get dressed up and capture plenty of pics in your outfit and wedding-day look.
