With every wedding invite, there is that "Yay! I feel special!" moment until you realize another wedding means finding another dress for the reception. This shopping task isn't always the easiest if you're on a budget. Toss in a themed or destination wedding, and your gown options go from easy to freaking difficult.

Though you can technically rewear something from your closet, you're a fashion girl at heart, which means you have to buy a new dress. It's practically your mission as an attendee. But we're not about to let you spend an entire paycheck on one wedding guest look, which is why we found 17 cute dresses all under $100. These affordable options are worthy of any Spring or Summer wedding you attend. Consider your mission accomplished.
