Should I make my guest travel?

I've traveled for several weddings. Like Erin said, you expect it.

Everybody has to travel to my wedding, including me! But part of the reason for that is my family is 12 hours away from FH's family, so we picked a spot kind of in the middle.

I think people generally expect to travel for weddings. Even some who live fairly close will still make an overnight of it so they don't have to drive. Don't worry about it! Focus on making your day the way you want, and people will be there

Mine are traveling to another country. You're fine.

Thanks!!!

I have family coming from Georgia and New York that's why I was not so sure about the traveling part... But you ladies are right is MY day well (OURS) haha!

WOOW I thought about doing it back home (Dominican Republic) but his family is not willing to travel outside of states!

Bummer! But sounds amazing good luck!

You can't "make" anyone travel. Guests will either be okay with traveling and attend or not be okay and decline. Two hours really isn't too far so I doubt it will be a problem. Just think about blocking out some hotel rooms nearby.

When thetes travel involved, the guest list will end up smaller but theres nothing wrong with that. People can choose to go or not. Just plan the party you want.

I think it just depends on you family and friends. I had to choose a venue within my hometown because the majority of my extended family was unwilling to travel to where FH and I live about an hour away.

If you're concerned people might not come - ask around and get a consensus.

I don't personally why traveling for a wedding would be an issue. Like the other ladies stated it is kind of a given that some travel may be involved.
