But we wouldn't even think twice about attending, especially since she says she has the money, but it's tight and she just wants to save it for another vacation.

I never said that I wanted to save it for another vacation. I don't. [/quote]

To be clear, if I didn't have to spend over $2000, we'd probably drive to the Delaware beaches for a few days this summer.  If we all go to the wedding I won't, and I'll enroll them in a different (cheaper) summer camp than I would have otherwise, and also have them take the summer off from karate lessons.  But I'm not saving it for another $2K plus vacation that is a trip that I'd rather take than the wedding.  [/quote]

I'd RSVP just for you.  For some people, $2K is not a big deal; for some, it is.  People who have destination weddings just have to accept that their choice of venue means that not everyone they invite can come.  If your sister's priority was having all her family there, she would have chosen a different location or offered to pay for your travel.  It isn't and she didn't.  Don't beat yourself up over it.
