National context
What about the national average?
The number quoted most, $21,781, comes from a 2019 Mi Padrino survey. A June 2026 KPBS report describes families spending about $22,000 in cash, or $25,000–$30,000 counting family help. Neither is a Houston average.
Padrinos and madrinas often cover whole line items: venue, cake, dress, photography. See what each padrino can cover before you settle your budget.
