How far would you drive for a wedding?

I don't think an hour is long at all Id probably drive about 2 hours.

90% of my wedding guests are from OOT, starting at two hours and up to 12. I think you would be surprised at how many people will travel to be there

I've driven up to 12 hours for a couple of weddings and will be flying from Minnesota to Virginia for a wedding later this year. If they love you and support you, they'll find a way to be there for you.

I don't think an hour is unreasonable, but with your wedding falling on a Friday it could make it harder since people might have to work during the day. It would honestly depend what time your ceremony was for me; I went to a Friday wedding and only had to leave work 2 hours early but if I had to cut out any earlier than that I'd decline.

That's at interesting point @mary-if we were to do it oot, we would probably have it changed to a Saturday....the Friday was more because the venue I was in love with was really reasonable for a Friday vs. Saturday rate haha

I don't think an hour is problematic for a Saturday wedding.

Most people are OOT guests for our wedding and its about a six hour drive for them.

For my wedding we are expecting guest that live an hour away from the reception and ceremony. If they appreciate the couple they will make an effort to be there! We have friends that are driving 3 days just to be here,,so all depends on what kind of guest you are having if its close friends or people that is invited because you don't what them to get offended. If i get invited to a wedding I'll go even if its two hours, it's a privilege to be invited we ccan't invite everyone even if we want to.

1.5 hours unless you're someone I super love it would be a lot more.

Will you be providing nearby accommodations? If so, that may help with attendance rather than having to drive an hour there and hour back

We drove 6 hours for one in March. I think it really depends on who the person getting married is and how close we are to them. Close family and friends I would travel as far as needed for them...casual acquaintences...not so much.

I think most people are willing to drive an hour.

I drove about an hour for my fiances brothers wedding. It was no big deal at all.

I worried about this also in the beginning. It takes about a hour and a half to get to my venue for 90 percent of my family and friends. I decided that if they wanted to be there they will and if not that's okay too. I will be happy with whoever can make it.

My wedding is about an hour away from most guests and I haven't heard any complaints yet. I think people are excited to go to a wedding that is not the fairgrounds in my tiny town. Lol I've driven 3.5 hours by myself to a wedding before, so depending on my closeness with the couple i would drive anywhere.

It would all depend on how close I was to the couple. Of course I'd do it for family-- I'm flying six hours for my brother's wedding-- but for a casual coworker? Probably not. Still, it's a way to make sure only your nearest and dearest are there!

An hour is nothing. We're four goes away from the place we live and I'm super surprised at how many people are making a weekend of it. Way more yes RSVP's than I planned on!

The closest wedding I have ever been to was an hour and a half away. I would say on average FH and I drive 3-4 hours to every wedding we have been to. Do what you want, the people who care about you will be there.

I agree wth everyone else. They will find a way to make it! An hour is a piece of cake. A far drive to me would be 4-5 hours or any distance that requires a plane.

My venue is over an hour away from our house.

I have flown all over the US to attend weddings. Ive also driven upwards to 3-4 hours attend weddings in other states. I don't think its that far. If people want to go, they will make the trip.
