[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entitlement is insanity. If you care about having your family at your wedding, you make sure you can either pay for them yourself or have a wedding they can afford to attend.[/quote]

SIL probably doesn't care. She's not demanding anyone go or pay for her parents. [/quote]

Well, the family is seeking handouts for the parents and other broke family members.[/quote]

Then OP should take it up with them. I don't know why SIL is the villain here. Not her responsibility to cater her wedding to her broke family members. [/quote]

Um yes, it is SIL's responsibility since it is HER wedding.  Her entitlement here is astounding.  If she truly didn't want even her parents at her wedding she could elope.  Or she could say "we're getting married in Bali because its where we met, but we're going to have a dinner to celebrate with family when we return.  If you want to join us we'd love to see you in Bali but realize that isn't possible for everyone and we want to celebrate with you when we're back."  Especially with COVID there are non-$ related reasons that reasonable people might not want to make a long and expensive international trip.  OP doesn't say if any of the family have young kids but that would be another valid reason not to go to an expensive destination wedding, even for close family.[/quote]
