DP and I getting married next year. We live in the UK but are planning to get married in his home country (Northern Europe) the majority of guests will be from my side as I have a large extended family, and will be traveling from the UK.
My question is - AIBU to want to pay for people's hotel accommodation for the weekend? It's my choice to have a destination wedding and I know it's a big ask to ask people to book a day off work, pay to fly there etc. I don't feel comfortable asking them to cover hotels as an additional expense. And I want them to actually come!
Or is us paying for Friday-Sunday of food/drink/entertainment in a great venue enough?
FWIW I have consulted some bridal forums and the consensus is "Forking out for a hotel room is the least someone can do for your wedding" and "Don't get tied up in nonsense. It's so easy to think that we should do more for our guests (I am guilty of it too) but really, this is YOUR day and remember you need YOUR money for YOUR honeymoon too! :) x"
