[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you can afford it and they are starting out, why are you holding back?  What lesson do you think you are sending?[/quote]

This 1000%!

you are not "holding your kid back" if you pay for vacations.  As long as the kid is financially sound (I'm not paying if they are not saving/living within their means) [/quote]

A vacation is a luxury, not a need, and yes, destination weddings are luxuries.

I declined every one I was invited to until I could afford it, both time and money. I also declined childfree weddings when my kids were young and I didn’t have paid childcare available.[/quote]

And that is your choice.

But if an adults parents can afford to pay for them to attend a family wedding (be it destination or not), why wouldn't they pay if the kid wants to attend and it's finance preventing it.

But then again, we pay to take our 20 somethings (and their SOs) on luxury vacations with us because they are family and we want to travel with them.  Would our kids pay for it themselves, of course not they are in college and recently graduated.  We have the money, why wouldn't we invite our kids to enjoy quality family time with us and their siblings?!?!
