[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guilty of destination wedding (hours away) but gave +1, +2, accommodated friends of family with champagne toast but cash bar. 
we had to budget but splurged with everything else big time. [/quote]

So you splurged on everything except the one thing guests actually look forward to at weddings?  What in the world were you thinking?[/quote]

+1 Splurged on what exactly? This is exactly the type of couple who should have [b]eloped at this destination[/b]. Why bother inviting anyone?[/quote]

I know, I know. That is a DCUm no no.  in retrospect we were college age poor and young and not what I would have done now but eloping was actually our plan and family still wanted to attend. we paid for a luxury hotel and rooms to accommodate everyone with 100+ people. lots of thanks for a great time and people were very generous and still talk about how great of time it was so I guess they didn't mind too much? [/quote]

You paid for everyone's lodging but drew the line at the bar bill?[/quote]

+1. This makes no sense. Also being college age poor and...paying fur luxury accommodations. [/quote]
Yeah doesnt pass the sniff test. More likely pp splurged on their dress and rings and left guests in the lurch.

But its the internet, anyone can say they did anything and how everyone loooved it. [/quote]
Or maybe they think a hotel block at holiday inn counts as covering accommodations [/quote]

I would not criticize what accommodations might be available where - are you going to send someone an hour away to the Ritz, or tell them the closest places that are clean? If you are a travel snob, or think you are above it all, that is not on the bride and groom to pay for. [/quote]
A hotel block isn't actually covering accommodations (nor is it luxury) which is what pp said. I was musing that they simply blocked the rooms and left guests to book it/pay for it on their own. [/quote]

no, the PP said they paid for their rooms at a luxury hotel. [/quote]

Even if the bride and groom "blocked rooms", they were thoughtful enough to do so.  What exactly do you want them to do? Make your beds and serve you coffee in the morning?  It seems some posters just hate weddings. Which is fine, but stay home and spare everyone your rotten attitude, because it shows. [/quote]

They probably got a credit for each room that was booked in order to get a better deal for themselves. But you don't get to take credit for "paying for luxury rooms" when all you did was create a room block. And then to stick your friends with a cash bar is tacky and cheap. I'd be embarrassed for my friends if they did that. Thankfully I don't know anyone like this.[/quote]

You’re replying to PPs who have added on details that didn’t even happen.

Creating a room block is not paying.
We paid all for very nice hotel rooms family picked out, champagne and one round of drinks. No deals because our hotel was another location. This is my last comment. Yes I’m a horrible person and extremely tacky. Friends are probably ‘embarrassed’ for me. I’m no longer giving details so you continue bashing. Flame away. [/quote]

So you didn't pay for accommodations for 100+ people? Or are your families over 100 people? You're just not being very clear and people are confused.[/quote]
