[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My future sister in law wants a destination wedding. This is extremely inconvenient and not wanted from the groom’s side. Her family and friends are younger. We have kids in high school who have their own obligations. We will make it work. I’m pretty certain no one from our family will fly to this destination to then drive another few hours for a wedding.

Is the destination more important than the guests?

Is it expected that many guests will decline?[/quote]

My niece did this - sort of - picked a high end location a few hours drive from a major city. My SIL was furious when a couple of the first cousins (high schoolers) didn't go. We did go, stayed in a truly disgusting and expensive Air BNB because we couldn't afford $1k a night for hotel rooms in the quaint inns at the location. Everyone had to have a new dress because it was black tie. We probably spend $2k on attending this wedding. It was a nice wedding, but really, it was a party for the bride and groom and their friends. Which is not a bad thing, it was just clear that it was her day, and there wasn't a lot of thought for the guests making the trip. [/quote]
