I get the destination weddings being popular choices for a few reasons, cost certainly being one of them. I have a friend currently planning a "traditional" wedding and the prices they are being quoted, I just can't imagine spending that, they are figuring $40k or so for a 100 guest wedding. I told him not to invite me as he said dinner alone is in the $75 range/ person.
The thing is is that it is your money, your day, do what you want. It is also your guest's money, their vacation time and they are free to do what they want as well. Something that really that bugs me is the Bride/ Groom guilt trip they lay on those who choose not to attend, I'm sorry we are pretty casual friends, and I'm not spending $4000 to bring my family to your destination wedding because our 10 year old daughters are friends, and if you really more people their, you should have considered that before making your location decision. We have other places we'd like to do and see and it doesn't include subsidizing your wedding.
