How far is too far of a drive for wedding?

Last weekend we drove 8 hours one way (16 total) for a weekend. Friday night through Sunday. Missed zero days of work! It was cheaper than flying

That's like my daily commute lol

That's totally reasonable. FH and I drove to a wedding 3 hours away a few weeks ago. I think it was probably 3.5 hours cause of traffic. I wouldn't do that again if the person wasn't close to us.

I would be ok driving an hour. As long as everything is all in one place

I drove 14 hours for a wedding

But that being said, FH and my families/friends

are so spread out we picked a venue in the middle of the triangle, which means a 1-2 hour drive for everyone

I would definitely drive an hour

Ours is 45 min from our house. For some guests it will be a 15 min drive and for other locals, well over an hour. I can't imagine anyone saying that's too far. Most people are willing to drive an hour to go to dinner, so I think a wedding would definitely not be a problem.

Agreed with the 1st commenter - def depends on my relationship?to the couple.

I think an hour is completely fine

Most of my family is coming from AT LEAST 3 hours away, but we live in a different town/state than them. Most of our friends, as well as us, are all driving 1 hour.

I once drove from Boston to DC for a wedding. If you're important to them, it doesn't matter the distance, they'll be there.

Depends. My FBIL got married a little over an hour away and I was pissed AF I had to go because I don't like his wife (but I like free cake and booze so I sucked it up and bought a gift and went). If my best friend was getting married I'd fly across the world in a heartbeat. General consensus seems to be an hour is fine.

I don't think an hour is too bad. Are there any hotels near the venue? It may be a good idea to get a room block for people who don't want to drive back after.
