Protocols for "reception" party after a destination wedding?
What is the etiquette for having a reception party a week after a destination wedding? Mainly I'm wondering about my wedding dress bridesmaid dresses. I know it's essentially my choice if I want to wear my wedding dress, but has anyone had or been to a reception like this and what did you like dislike about it? Also, there won't be any bridesmaids groomsmen at the actual wedding, but my close friends have said they want to be able to participate as bridesmaids and wear dresses at the reception. Any other opinions or links to more info on " we're married" parties?

Is it selfish to have a destination wedding?
I know that not everyone will come and that makes me happy. I want a small wedding. I have a big family and I love them, but I still want a small wedding. Fiances parents are cool and I would want them there, but they say that they cannot afford it. Yet they offered to throw us a reception when they got back. I would rather they come to the wedding. His mom is against it. I want his parents there, yet I cannot afford to pay for them. My dad is paying for me, my fiance, the wedding, and the entire wedding, wedding party, reception, everything. I don't get why they wouldn't come.

My husband and I were invited to attend a destination wedding in Jamaica next summer.?
My husband's cousin's daughter will be getting married there at an " all inclusive resort" , rates upwards of $750 night plus airfare for two. Three nights with airfare would be $3,800 . We were emailed the web site and encouraged to book through their planner for this resort. I use Expedia and found a much cheaper resort with 4 star ratings around 150 night upwards, so three nights cost $1,400. I emailed the couple and told them I was thinking of attending but staying somewhere else we are retired . A few days later the couple sent out an email saying guests should use the resort planner, as they would love everyone to stay at this resort," it may seem expensive but to remember it's all inclusive" , they stated also " that this is a special sale rate,so book before sale is over" . Some sale All inclusive doesn't matter to us and we don't drink alcohol nor eat excessively. The wedding website said that the bride and groom get " perks" like chocolate strawberries or bottle of wine when they have their wedding guests book room through the planner. My neighbor says they get almost a free wedding, which kind of make sense because they have stated to go through their planner who only books for this resort My other cousin will go, stay at a cheap resort, and doesn't care what they say. On the website, beside the couple, only six other people booked, and they both have large families. The bride's parents are divorced and do not have money for a fancy wedding. Do they get more than " strawberries" for your booking? So what would you do?????????
Are destination wedding selfish?
My boyfriend and i will be officially engaged within the month. That combined with many of my friends getting married, and im already stressing out. I have always wanted to get married outside surrounded by people i love. At the same time, i as well as the people i love work insane schedules in the summertime the only time it would be weather appropriate for an outdoor wedding here So i wonder if i cant have the people around me because of the work the entire restaurant would need to shut down to have these people go a mile away to my wedding, or i would be forced to rate who was most important to me and i want to get married outside.. im gonna have to sacrafice somewhere. its already stressing me. Someone suggested a destination wedding, that way i get married outside in the winter my bfs brother got married in st. lucia but isnt it selfish to go so far away or some place so expensive that family and friends may not be able to come?? And who pays for them. WOuld i then pay for my family to come, or my bridesmaids.. who pays for what? is it cheaper? IM SO CONFUSEDand if we have a destination wedding does that get us out of having to invite people, because we dont expect them to pay to be able to pay for it. i guess it comes down to is it selfish... and is it okay to be selfish since its our wedding???

Parents giving $1000 to cancel destination wedding 56 days before....?
For the last 4 days my mom has asked me to stop over so she could ask me something in person. even though we talk some times 3 times a day on the phone text We have been planning our destination wedding for over a year now. Everything is done & planned & we are under the 2 month mark We are inviting 22 people. So far 16 said YES. The plan is to get married on the beach & my parents offered to throw us a " WELCOME HOME" party when we got home. Hall is done food is ordered & invites are ready to be mailed in 2 weeks. Today my mom told me its a lot of money for them to come to our wedding about $1200 My father is not happy about traveling he hates to travel & hates the beach So they offered us $1000 to cancel the wedding at the beach & get married at the shelter at the park pot luck style dinner. Its the picnic we already had planned. About 140 people invited to that. Reason was because they could come but its going to make their money tight. Also my fiances grandparents & sisters canceled 2 because of money I tried to tell my mom, we will lose $400 in deposits by canceling this late. I won't be able to take vacation for the wedding at home if we switch I will get married Saturday & have to be back at work on Monday at 5am. We won't have the money or time for a honeymoon like we would if we kept the destination wedding.We also thought about running away on a cruise or the mexico to get married but a passport won't be in, in less then 8 weeks. What is the best option here? I don't want to put my parents into finical troubles. But at the same time I want our dream wedding. Seems like our wedding is turning into more trouble then its worth I should add we are paying for part of the hotels at the destination wedding, also paying for several meals & The picnic is 2 weeks after our already set wedding. We both already took vacation from work for our October 1st wedding. 10 days but if we change the date we won't be able to change our vacation from work. Diamond My parents,brother, his girlfriend, MOH & grandma are all flying together. They already bought their tickets. My mom was calling today to see if they could cancel. But I don't think they will be able too. Also our hotel has been booked since New years. The same people above have their hotel booked too. As does the best man & his girlfriend. There is still 2 couples left to book their rooms. But really everything is done I know the price for everything is $1200, not $3000 like some one said. Also we can not get that $400 back in deposits. So if my parents give us $1000 its really like they are giving us $600. & that won't cover anything.My parents are OK with a backyard red neck wedding. I do NOT want that Your wedding is the only time you can demand people have some class Flight round trip bags included $206 each Hotel x3 nights $357 tax included Rental Car $126 $50 gas$945 TotalWhen I say destination wedding I don't mean flying from PA to the Bahamas or Hawaii, the wedding is in South Carolina.
Family guilt tripping about not attending destination wedding?
My SIL is having a destination wedding in February in Mexico, and it would be nearly impossible to go. My husband her brother is active military, and we just had a baby last month. Here are the reasons we're not going 1. Airfare and room costs2. Don't want to put baby through traveling ordeal3. Taking vacation days going someplace we don't want to go4. Risk something happening to husband US soldiers are advised not to go to MX His family thinks we're being ridiculous and are constantly guilt tripping us into going, even though we already said no. They've even said it's not important if I and the baby don't go , as long as hubby goes, they'll be happy. They've even offered to help out with his costs, even if he can only be there for a day Do you see how fanatical these people are?We've made our decision how do we get them to back off?You guys are right prior to making her wedding plans, SIL called my husband and asked him if he'd be able to leave the country. He told her chances were slim to none she took this to mean if the family leaned on him hard enough, he'd go. And no offense to the men here who clap their hands and squeal in delight when they have to go to a wedding, but my husband is not one of them. Like most normal men, he thinks having to attend a wedding is akin to gouging his eyes out, especially when the terms " beach chic" and " casual elegance" come into play. Years ago, as a single guy, he chose not to attend his other sister's long distance wedding for similar reasons. While he loves his sisters, he doesn't daydream about the day he can attend their weddings.
At a destination wedding, should all the guests be invited to the rehearsal dinner?
Normally, just the wedding party is invited to the rehearsal dinner. For a destination wedding should all guests be invited since the guest list is usually not very large? What is the protocol, since the event can take place over several days?

Planning a Destination Wedding?
My fiance and I are hoping to plan a destination wedding for this spring in Puerto Rico. Neither of us have family, and we would like to have the ceremony for just the two of us. I have done some research online into destination wedding packages, but they all seem to assume that you are bringing family and friends as your guests. We don't need the traditional reception afterwards, nor do we need chairs lined up in rows to witness our nuptials. To compound matters, I've never really been off the east coast of the United States, and am trying to plan our vacation in Puerto Rico around the wedding Any advice that you might have would be much appreciated.
Destination wedding brides: pros and cons?
I'm in the very early stages of planning my wedding. I know that I want to have an intimate wedding with just our close family and maybe a few close friends. We just started talking about planning tonight and my fiance brought up the idea of getting married in St. Maarten where his parents own a condo on the beach with just our immediate family parents and siblings with spouses and kids . We would have the use of their condo as well as their friends condo that is attached so nobody would have to pay for a hotel, just airfare. I am definitely attracted to the idea, but there is also a part of me that wants to include more of our family and be able to include our grandparents and friends. So...from brides that have had destination weddings what are the pros and cons? What was hard about planning a destination wedding? What did you enjoy and what did you wish you could change? What other advice would you have?Thank you Thanks for the responses so far. Just to clarify this wedding is maybe...20 people or less including myself and my fiance. My bridemaids will be my two sisters and that's it. Also, we have been considering just having a party when we get home. Not making it into a reception or anything NO gifts maybe asking them to donate to charity if they feel inclined? but just being able to have loved ones around for a big party.
