With the wedding season nearly over, many Scots will have witnessed another round of I Do's and celebrations. However with ceremonies, and hen and stag parties becoming more elaborate, many are having to check their bank balances along with their calendars before agreeing to attend.

A study by TopCashback released today, reveals that around a third of Scots have had to decline an invitation due to the price of a wedding. Along with potential travel and accommodation costs, more than three-quarters think buying a gift is compulsory and majority believe it should cost between £26 and £50. More than three-quarters said they'd buy a new outfit for the occasion. Other key findings reveal that:

* More than half of Londoners expect a free bar at a wedding, compared to just 21 per cent of residents in Scotland
* 15 per cent of Scots would rather spend money on a wedding before saving for life essentials
* 12 per cent of Scots went over budget when planning their wedding
