Wedding location

View Quoted Comment

Our list is smallish and consists of only family plus family friends who are practically family (max 68 if everyone comes). We're still waiting for RSVPs to get back to us, but we expect most to go- we haven't gotten any nos yet, but we've gotten 26 yes. If our guest list expanded to acquaintances or more distant family, we'd expect more declines. My second aunt/uncle are invited because I work in the same office as them, but I fully expect them to decline because we're not really all that close. Unless your family is paying, don't let them bully you into settling for your wedding!

I'm just going to say that your wedding is about you and your other half.

It is kind to consider others, but the location should be a decision solely dependent on you and your other half.

Just be aware that some may decline if distance is an issue.

Best of luck with all of your planning, and congratulations on your engagement and wedding!!!

I'm sure you'll find a great location!

View Quoted Comment That's amazing! I'm happy you got so many guest saying yes so far. I haven't even started working on a guest list, I have so much family but I have time. I do plan on fully paying for my wedding with my fiance. Your absolutely right u should be able to have whatever wedding I want.

I know we'd loooove to hear all about your big day!!

I’m having mine where most guests are located, but we still have ppl coming from RI, LA, Ca, PA, Sc, Tx, Va and Europe. And we live out of state too. It’s just impossible for it to be convenient for everyone. Have your wedding wherever you want but expect some declines.

View Quoted Comment Wow that's a lot of locations! Yea it is impossible. I just want the most affordable plus close to our vision destination possible. Thank you so much for responding.

If you and your FH want an out of state wedding, that’s perfectly fine. Like a PP mentioned, be gracious and don’t hold it against anyone if they have to decline. Our friends got married in Hawaii and only my FH could go since we couldn’t afford both of us to go. The bride has basically cut everyone who couldn’t attend out of their lives so it’s a bit disappointing when people can’t be understanding. Do what you and your FH want on your day!

No, I don't think having an out of state wedding is selfish at all. You and FH should plan your wedding wherever the two of you desire to have it. That being said, if the location requires extra travel / expense, then please be gracious to those that decline.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much! Hopefully everything works out for the best and everyone ends up attending.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for responding. And yes I will be gracious about any declines. Hopefully they all come because it's really not far pa from NJ is a 2 hour drive. But if they can't come that's fine.

My FH are getting married in Florida, we live in Kansas. The wedding is about the bride and groom being married, they are literally the reason it’s happening. Don’t let anyone tell you different it’s not selfish to get married where you want to.
