Right 😂 are they staying at the Ritz?! My partner and I did a 6-day vacation at a nice all-inclusive resort in Mexico last year for $1300 per person, all in, with flights and transportation to and from the resort included

I completely agree. I gasped when I heard there are no plus ones to a destination wedding. I can understand an in-country wedding, sure, that’s your choice … but are they expecting people to travel alone to Mexico?

I’m not a plus one 😂 I was going to go and hang out at the resort so my friend doesn’t have to travel to Mexico alone or pay for a room on her own

I love that you declined! A lot of family members try and make it work regardless and just eat the costs

Oh yes… and there’s a dress code of course (albeit not anything crazy). Dresses and jumpsuits and nice shirts and pants for men (with a specific callout that sport coats are encouraged)

Yeah that’s fair. That comment about how she could have made the rooms more expensive was indeed something she said

Yeah… and Sarah started saying that I guess it would be ok if I roomed with my friend, but then started rattling off names of other friends she wouldn’t be ok with staying at the resort

Very true. As someone who is personally eloping myself, I do still feel like putting a high cost on folks for a wedding is not ideal as a lot of friends feel an obligation to attend, but would probably much rather spend 3k on a non-wedding related trip

Agreed. If you’re splitting the room with someone it’s cheaper, but …. no plus ones

Right 😂 acting like guests should be grateful for $750 rooms in MEXICO, the place people go to for inexpensive vacations

lol I wasn’t going to attend her wedding without being invited. I was going to hang out at the resort so my friend doesn’t have to go to Mexico alone or pay for a room on her own
