Typically the bride and groom pay for the attendants to be there. If any guests decide to go, they pay for themselves.

I’m sure each situation is probably unique. If you have the money to afford flying your wedding party to the destination, you might pay all or half of travel expenses. If not, they are probably expected to pay for their own. I think a lot of people when they do a destination wedding don’t have a wedding party.

I’m old fashion so traveling goes to who ever wants to go and pays themselves.

My daughter just got married Dec 31rst in Jamaica
Her dad & I paid for 3/4 of their trip and the wedding. They had no one standing up with them. They put out the word to their friends, and basically said we’re getting married in Jamaica and if you want to come, you’re welcome.
Their best friends came, but paid their own way. It was a holiday for 2 weeks for everyone.

the bride and groom should be paying for the wedding party to be at their wedding especially when it includes airfare and hotel rooms; just freakin’ elope if you want to elope…….then go on a honeymoon; it’s ridiculous to expect people to pay all the travel money; let alone the time involved in taking off to be at your wedding……

Depends on what the bride and groom can afford and what they think their attendants can afford. Personally, if I were going to do this, I think it would make more sense if my fiance and I paid for our attendants to be there but I could never afford that so I wouldn’t feel right asking other people to pay.

usually, the couple should shoulder all the expenses.

I am having a destination wedding. All of our attendants are thrilled about going even though we are not paying for their flights or lodging. However, should it become a financial burden for any of them, my fiance and I agree that we will offer to help them out. We are doing a lot of research for the best flights and places to stay.

You pay for you own wedding.
Destination weddings can be great. But, remember that you are asking people (even if they can afford it) to use their vacation time to go on a vacation of your choice.
Mom, Dad and siblings might be willing. But, do not get annoyed at anyone who decides not to go. Vacation time is limited and hard to come by, so just keep in mind how much you are asking your guests to sacrifice.
