Does the Bridal Party Pay for Their Own Expenses for a Destination Wedding?
Posted by: Denise In: Destination Weddings
Planning a destination wedding can be stressful, especially when you consider the added costs to your guests. Unless you’re rich, however, you can’t be expected to pay for everyone’s hotel rooms and airfare – even your bridesmaids’!
Typically, the bridal party will be expected to pay their own way in order to be part of your destination wedding – but what if they’re worried about the cost? Take heart; their could be a way to get them there without causing financial hardship.
If you cannot afford to pay any of their expenses, help them look into discount hotel rooms and airfare through a travel agent or online. There are many deals you can find that could help your bridal party save some money and still be a part of your wedding.
Make sure to be as understanding as possible if it turns out some or all of your bridal party won’t be able to make it. Times are tough, and even a bridesmaid may not be able to justify the added cost of a destination wedding into their budget.
If everything fails, you can always have a reception back in your hometown for those guests who were unable to attend!
