For whatever it’s worth, one of those info maps popped up on my Facebook feed yesterday — you know the kind, the ones my kids think I’m totally crazy for loving.
This one showed the average cost of a wedding in Arizona at around $25,000. Now, I didn’t fact-check the source, but it got me thinking…
From an estate planning perspective, if you want your trust to set aside money for your child’s wedding, this could be a helpful benchmark.
You can absolutely set minimums or maximums in your trust for specific life events — like weddings, college, first home purchases, or even starting a business. It’s a thoughtful way to guide and support your loved ones through major milestones, even when you’re not around.
So, is $25,000 a good number? Maybe. It depends on your goals and your family’s needs. But that’s the beauty of a well-crafted trust — it’s customizable and personal.
