[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TENS of thousands?? [/quote]

Yes- explain OP. I could easily see hosting costing thousands…but tens of thousands?[/quote]

I think I am just used to high standards of travel. Our family of five usually spends 10-20k per week. Since there will be 15-20 of us moving together, I just assumed it would be tens of thousands for three weeks.

Relatives will be staying at my parents’ house, my house and also hotels that I will likely be booking.[/quote]

Where are they going on this 3 week trip to the USA? NYC?  Treating all of them to a 3 night nice hotel stay plus outings plus food could exceed 20k. How wiill you get this huge group to whatever multiple destinations in the USA?  Touring DC?  Renting a small bus and driver?

The scope of their visit/vacation in the USA is is bigger than picking up 6 hotel bills for relatives at a 2-3 night destination wedding. 
I assume you live locally as do your parents. [/quote]

OP here. NYC was one of the places we will be going. We easily spend 5k+ for just our family for a weekend. A not nice hotel will cost 6-800 per night.[/quote]

8 rooms at a fine midtown hotel-at NY City Center - walk to park, rock center etc giving them 2 nights king bed suite with view [get small living area/lounge] is over 36k.  Add in meals, transportation in the city, tickets, shopping.  That will be over 50k.  So why are you posting since all these people expect great accomodations and understand you are paying?

Add in San Francisco, maybe Miami etc and I guess you're planning on 300k for their 2-3 week visit.  Frankly if you're planning on shelling that out why not send them cash to reimburse them for flights. [/quote]
