Would you choose a bigger wedding or a bigger down payment?

June 24, 2026 | Posted by: Angela Robinson

A recent survey found that most Canadians planning a wedding would consider asking for cash toward a home down payment instead of traditional gifts, and many would even scale back wedding plans to help achieve their homeownership goals.

For many couples, a home is more than just their biggest purchase, it's an investment in their future. As housing costs and the cost of living continue to rise, more Canadians are prioritizing building equity over one-day celebrations.

Whether you're planning a wedding, saving for your first home, or both, Alberta Mortgage Professionals can help you create a strategy to reach your homeownership goals with confidence.
