Le location preferite a livello mondiale per i matrimoni d‟oggi sono le ville con un 33%. Al secondo posto troviamo poi la più classica sala ricevimenti, con il 21.54%. In Italia, invece, vengono prediletti gli agriturismi, con un 46% e iniziano a prendere quota i matrimoni in spiaggia, conquistando il 9% degli italiani.
La luna di miele
L’82.24% degli sposi oggi parte per il viaggio di nozze, un viaggio “rilassante” nel 47.21% dei casi. Un buon progetto, preparato in coppia per il 56,53% degli sposi. Il budget mondiale per persona in media è di 2.874 €, ma per l’Italia questo budget è molto più consistente, arrivando fino a 4.332€.
La top 3 mondiale delle destinazioni è: Messico con il 9,54 %, Stati Uniti con il 7,74 %, Brasile con il 7,38 %.
Per gli italiani, invece, Europa (9%), Australia (7%) e Giappone (5.5%).Quanto spendono gli invitati?
Gli invitati quando ricevono la partecipazione pensano inmediatamente a due cose: Cosa mi metto? e Quanto regalo?‟ non necessariamente in quest‟ordine. Analizzando gli oltre 300.000 effettuati nel corso del 2016 tramite il servizio di lista nozze online Zankyou, scopriamo che gli invitati di nozze italiani sono i più generosi del mondo, spendendo in media 235 euro a persona per il regalo di nozze, esclusi quindi costi extra generati da abiti e spostamenti. Tra mani bucate, crisi e „braccini corti‟, chi sono i più generosi d’Europa sono gli spagnoli, nonostante la crisi economica: seguno appunto Italia, poi Colombia e Portogallo, dove un ospite in media sborsa rispettivamente 171 e 161 euro. In coda alla classifica troviamo i brasiliani che offrono ai futuri sposini un regalo del valore di 73 euro, mentre gli invitati di nozze olandesi si piazzano come i più taccagni d’Europa con un regalo medio di 90 euro.
La situazione in Italia
Abbiamo osservato il resto del mondo, ma ora tocca all’Italia e l’analisi è stata fatta anche per provincia: i più spendaccioni sono i bresciani, che spendono in media 296 euro, seguiti dagli abitanti di Verona e Bergamo con 294 e 290 euro. Seguono Reggio Calabria con 289 euro e Napoli con 286 euro, e con quasi 20 euro in meno Bari, dove un invitato di nozze non sborsa più di 268 euro per partecipare a un matrimonio. A caduta libera Palermo, che lo scorso anno si classificava in testa alla top10 delle città più spendaccione d‟Italia per quanto riguarda i regali nuziali, che da 277 euro passa a 244 euro. Praticamente a parimerito Milano e Roma con 249 e 247 euro, mentre precipitano in coda alla classifica Venezia e Torino, con 204 e 202 euro di dono medio.
La verità è, chi si è già sposato lo sa, che il minimo che si dovrebbe fare è rimborsare gli sposi delle spese minime sostenute per la nostra partecipazione, la parte food e la location, poi si dovrebbe pensare al legame che abbiamo con gli sposi e fare un regalo misurando la propria possibilità di spesa e la relazione che abbiamo con loro. Questo è l’algoritmo perfetto per non fare brutte figure e non svenarsi ogni volta che ci invitano ad un matrimonio.
***
I was seriously struck by the new study conducted by Zankyou on 18,000 couples scattered all over the world.
How long does it take to pop the question? Who is the first of the two to talk about marriage? Why do we get married? But above all, how much does the marriage cost to the spouses and their guests? How Much a guest will spend for Wedding Gift? Here is what a survey conducted on a sample of neo-couples who got married in 2016 reveals .
At what age do you get married?
In 2016, the average age of marriage is 30, 33 for men and 30 for women. The Brazilians are the youngest with an average of 30 years and 5 months for men and 28 and 7 months for women, followed by Colombians (32 for men and 29 for women). Italians and Americans are the ones who are waiting the most, reaching the altar on average, respectively, at 35 years men and 33 Italian women, while 36 years men and 31 and 4 months for the American women.
For romantic eternals, the main motivation for which we get married remains Love (93%). But if you have the option to choose more than one reason, then you also have to have kids, with 14.68%, and for the party with 13.58%, while family pressure remains a little influential reason, with only 1.63%. Even in Italy, despite the strong link with the family, only 0.98% of respondents admitted that they were being pushed to the door by their loved ones.
Those who speak about marriage are the same, with 44% for women and 56% for men, and Italy is perfectly in line with that. As far as wedding organization is concerned, 47% of women venture first and foremost in the preparations. But are not we two to marry? It is interesting to note that the Portuguese are the most united since only 25% of women devote themselves to the preparations. While the record in this case is beaten by the Germans with 69% of weddings organized only by women’s hand.
Another interesting point concerns the duration of love story before thinking about marriage. Most respondents say they have reached the finish line after 2 years (33% of respondents). While 25% of couples waited between 3 and 4 years. 52% of the French have waited more than 4 years and 32% more than six. For the Italians, however, 50% of the respondents stated that they had come to the marriage during the first year of the report.
The organization of marriage
Have you ever wondered how long it takes to organize a wedding? If wedding preparations generally last for a year, well over 35% of Italians employ more than 18 months to prepare a wedding … you see that we are perfectionists!
As for the economic aspect, the bride and groom, to cater to their guests, do not care at all, with a world average of € 14,102 invested in wedding preparations. In particular, we Italians are particularly generous to our guests, with an average of € 16,000.
The number of guests varies greatly on the continents. The average is 149 guests. German weddings are the narrowest, with an average of 89 guests, while Mexican weddings are the most numerous with an average of 202 guests. In Italy, once again, we are very close to world values, with an average of 122 guests.
Even with regard to the expense for each guest there are many differences based on the countries. The world average is 94.39 €. In Brazil, spouses spend on average 57 € per invited, almost 2.5 times less than Germans, who spend on average 147.77 € per person.
The world’s favorite wedding venues today are the villas with a 33%. Second, we find the most classic reception room, with 21.54%. In Italy, however, the agriturisms are preferred, with a 46% and begin to take part in marriages at the beach, conquering 9% of Italians.
Honeymoon
82.24% of today’s brides go on honeymoon, a “relaxing” trip in 47.21% of the cases. A good project, prepared in pairs for 56.53% of the spouses. The average world budget per person is € 2,874, but for Italy this budget is much higher, reaching up to € 4,332.
The world’s top 3 destinations are: Mexico with 9.54%, United States with 7.74%, Brazil with 7.38%.
For the Italians, Europe (9%), Australia (7%) and Japan (5.5%).
How much are the guests spending?
Invited people when they receive participation think about two things: What do I wear? And how much will I give for the gift? Not necessarily in this order. Analyzing more than 300,000 gifts made in 2016 via the Zankyou online wedding list service, we find that Italian wedding guests are the most generous in the world, spending on average 235 euros per person for the wedding gift, excluding extra costs, dresses and transfers. Who are the most generous in Europe? The Spaniards, despite the economic crisis: Italy, then Colombia and Portugal, where an average guest is 171 and 161 euros respectively. In the queue to the rankings we find the Brazilians who offer future weddings a gift of 73 euros, while Dutch wedding guests are ranked as the most tedious in Europe with an average gift of 90 euros.
