[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Couples who plan destination weddings do so because they want a small wedding! That's the whole point. [b]They know it will price a lot of people out and that's exactly what they want - exotic, intimate, small gathering of closest loved ones. [/b]
OP - your DH going on his own is great. Have no guilt about keeping the kids home. Your MIL can say her peace but when you express your regrets for not being able to attend, I bet your BIL & SIL-to-be will not be at all heart broken. [/quote]

Can I just say I find this super offensive?  If you want a small, intimate wedding with your closest loved ones, then have that wedding.  But planning a wedding that you know many of the invitees can't afford (indeed, because it's the kind of wedding that many invitees won't be able to afford) so that you can have that small wedding?  Why not just not invite people that you don't want at your wedding?  What if someone who truly loves you can't afford to attend?  Are then not just close enough or loved enough?

Plus, while some couples might not care if people can't attend, I've also seen couples who went crazy when people said they couldn't go and insisted that friends and family go into debt or something to attend their wedding.  [/quote]
