I thought a destination wedding was basically an elopement, like you are trying to really cull your guest list. Never felt bad about sending a no to those, always figured that’s what they were aiming for.
I know some people that went and got married in Thailand. They’re really good friends but I was not paying to go to Thailand just to watch their wedding, and then come home again, it’s not worth it. They had a much larger wedding back home for everyone else a couple of weeks later on a weekend in the local area.
When you have a destination wedding that’s what everyone expects you to do. Inevitably a lot of people aren’t going to come because friend groups all tend to get married around the same time and if everyone wants to have a destination wedding then I’m not going to have any money left.
