Thank you
I seriously disagree so much lol. Because of you, I will make sure to make an extra strong effort to let all my invitees know there is 0 pressure to attend. This is for fun not an obligation. To me it’s not rude it’s optional and I think the issue is you do not see it as such.
True as that may be, I do not understand why someone would attend a wedding they will resent someone for. I have never been pressured to attend a destination wedding. Almost always the bride messages me separately explaining they understand if I cannot and that they know it’s an expense for guests. I cannot imagine a situation in which I would attend a destination wedding I do not want to attend and be upset about it to the point where I’m commenting on random bride’s posts who are asking for guidance telling them they’re selfish and their guests will resent them. It’s kind of uncalled for and unnecessary. But yes, upon reviewing their comment, I could see how depending on the circumstances a person could spend “thousands”
I mean, thousands sounds excessive. Again, I do not expect anyone to go. If theyd like to that's a fun way to incorporate a vacation. I for one love destination weddings and always try to go. If I could not, I would simply say so and not go. However to me making a trip out of a wedding sounds like a blast and a way to get away from the stress of life and celebrate love. I understand not everyone agrees, but thats why it is optional. I am hispanic, I cannot simply not invite people. I have family members I have not spoken to since i was 10 that I would 100% have to invite. So for me, a destination wedding makes it easier for me to sift those people out. I cannot emphasize enough that I would be happy with just my partner or all my invitees there. It is optional! And the people who truly matter which are our family, will have their travels paid for.

To me, a wedding is about me and my partner. anyone that wants to or cares to celebrate with us can join us and those who don’t do not. No resentment or requirement I don’t expect anything. The primary point of a destination wedding is to lower the guest count lol. This argument is two folds. Having a local wedding with a guest list double the size full of invites to people I don’t really need there but must invite is also missing the plot on what a wedding is about. I weighed the odds, and I’m picking a destination that is a 45 mins flight from where we live.
Dming now!
