[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If invited to a niece/nephew destination wedding where plane tix are $1000+/person (coach), how frowned upon for only one member of family to go? Has anyone else just had sibling of bride’s mom go and not their spouse and kids too? Flights would be early AM out to get there in time for rehearsal dinner, wedding next day and then early AM back to get home just before midnight. For the $, would need to use savings we have been building for week’s vacation with immediate family at different place. Posting as extended family expectation is for everyone to go. What have others done or think?[/quote]

You do what works for your family.  IMO, if someone has a destination wedding, they should expect many many people to say "NO" because it doesn't work for them financially, time off, etc.  You are not required to drop $10K to attend someone's wedding, even if very close family.

If you can afford it, send one person.  If you get grief for that, then cancel and nobody goes

I woudlnt' forgo a planned family vacation to afford to attend a wedding.  If you cannot afford it, it's acceptable to say nope.
