Best places for destination weddings?
My husband and I are going to renew our vows in a couple years. We want a place that we can vacation to, with our four kids and hold a ceremony while there. We aren't able to afford places over seas, or even Hawaii, so please don't suggest pricy or elusive places as such.Are there any unique lodges in the west, or estates in the south that offer a memorable stay for all ages?My kids will be 8, 6, 5 and 3.
How do guests get to destination weddings?
You know when someone has a wedding in like Hawaii or something, how do all of their guests get there? I mean how many people have the money to fly to hawaii for the weekend? Do the bride and groom pay? How does it work if you have like 300 people, how do they all get there???
About "destination weddings"...?
If you had a destination wedding and not many guests attended, did you end up regretting it? Did you wish you went with a local venue instead? I am considering having my wedding nearly across the country and I understand that most likely not much more than 25 or so guests will be able to attend. Just wondering about others' experiences. Thanks in advance

Opinons on destination weddings?
My boyfriend and I have always wanted to have a destination wedding. We've now been together 10 years and have 3 small children. I was thinking that just going away as a family and getting married would be nice then coming home and having a reception with our closest friends and family. He disagrees and says we couldn't possibly get married without his family present. I just don't know. I've also heard from a friend who had a destination wedding to invite your closest friends and family and forget the reception back home. I know this would be expensive for most of my friends just after buying their first homes and starting their careers. But I would also be aware and okay with the fact if they couldn't make it and would understand. Just asking for some stories, experiences on this topic. Thanks I have no intention on going half way across the world. Most likely Cuba, which can be reasonable. I would say an all inclusive package from $1000 $2000 for the week. And I also have no intention nor would be able to pay for any one of my guests. However this trip would be feasible for our families who are well off. But maybe not so much for our friends. But that's okay with us if some cannot make it.
When people have destination weddings, do they pay for their guests airfare/lodging, or do the guests pay?
My fiance and I are considering our wedding options...he is originally from Australia, I am from the United States. We'll be living in Australia after the wedding. No matter what we do, one of our families will travel. My family expects the wedding to be here, his family expects it to be back home.We were thinking of a destination wedding as a compromise. When you have a destination wedding, do you pay for guests airfare hotel, or do guests pay? What about meals, etc. other than the wedding dinner?
Are destination weddings selfish?
A good friend of mine got engaged recently, which was great news. However, he's planning to have the wedding in Bali. I'm from Boston so is he originally and have estimated that it will take over 50 hours of travel time and cost me $5,000 to pull this off. Is his decision to get married in Bali and expect me to come unreasonable?My answer Absolutely. If he wants to go to Bali, he should go there on his honeymoon. When I got married, locally, I understood that I was hosting an event for my friends and family to get together and celebrate. My friends probably had more fun than I did, since I was busy posing for pictures and shaking hands all night. After my wedding, I went to Hawaii for my honeymoon and it was great. Destinations are for honeymoons and vacations, not weddings.I wish I could prevent woman from answering this question.
Has anyone used destination weddings.com to plan their wedding?
we are doing a 10 year renewal of vows next year end of summer. i was just seeing if anyone had used destination weddings.com to see what the experience was like.
Why don't more people elope or have destination weddings?
I believe in most cases,they are a lot more cheaper than a typical wedding. Weddings are so overrated to me. I just don't see myself spending $30k on a wedding....I imagine I'd look like a big show off if I did.

Question for Brides having destination weddings?
My boyfriend and I have been invited to a destination wedding for friends of ours the groom has been friends with my bf for 2 years, I only met them a year ago when we started dating. They got engaged just before Christmas, the invitations arrived today, and their wedding is in March in the Bahamas. We would really like to go, but the trip will cost us $3,000 we've priced flights and spoken with the resort already. We're not sure if we can afford that right now. We are worried about disappointing the bride and groom if we don't go. How did you, as Destination Brides, feel about this issue? The other issue is that right after their engagement, they told us they were considering a short term engagement and a destination wedding. Because they were not expecting anyone else to come not even their families the bride told me that her father had offered to pay for another couple to join them on the trip so they wouldn't be alone. They inquired as to whether or not we could get the time off work to join them, and we said yes. Now, post Christmas with their families, it appears some of them are going to go, including the FOB so we're assuming that means he's no longer flying friends of theirs for free since he'll be flying himself and his wife. We have no heard another peep out of the bride about this, so we're assuming the offer is no longer on the table. This is when we priced the trip ourselves and are now stuck on what to do. The issue really is whether or not the bride and groom really want us to be there since they asked the two of us specifically in the beginning. We're just unclear as to how much our presence there matters to them. If you really wanted someone to come, did you speak with them directly about it and make that clear or were you worried about putting pressure on guests so you didn't say much?Any help or insight from destination brides or anyone who has been in a similar situation would be great. Thanks Thanks to everyone who answered. My bf talked to the groom last night boys just care so much less about being tactful haha and we've decided not to go. Platinum Bride, good luck this weekend I really appreciate your comments and will be taking your advice.
