Just being in 2 weddings the past month was brutal, I can't even imagine planning the thing

How much are you making your groomsmen/bridesmaids pay to be in your wedding? I spent over $800 just to be in a rough ridin' wedding 3 weeks ago and I'm still not rough ridin' happy about it

too much. the bachelor party/trip is expensive and they're going to have to shell out a couple hundred for a suit and then another couple hundred if they're staying at the hotel plus a couple hundred if they're flying in. i'm constantly worried about making my bros spend money but at the end of the day they can handle it and i have done/will do the same for them.

I got a deal on their suits and paid for half of their costs on each one. Now they have a brand new suit for life and only had to chip in $150. All my boys had points to fly in for my bachelor party and one of them works for SW, so it's free. Just lodging I guess.

Well I guess as long as you would do the same for them

See at least you are helping pay for stuff.

My issue is if you can't even help pay for other people to be in your wedding don't do it. If you don't have the money to help your friends out, and you are just expecting them to pay to go to your event, I just don't know.

I want to help them celebrate, but don't punish me for being close to you.

I get both sides. one, you should be honored and two, they should try and help if they can. I've been in a few, but they were all radio friends, so they literally paid for everything with trade. I'm totally fine with my guys not being at my reception either. They'll be doing enough just to get to breck.

BTW, we perfected the destination wedding. Only 25 of us will be there.

The Big Train · « **Reply #1088 on:** June 08, 2016, 11:35:31 AM »

Yeah, not to get all always a bridesmaid and never a bride, but I've been in 7 weddings the last few years. I've been in ones where I didn't pay a dime outside of lodging and ones where I've paid for everything.

If I ever get married I'm probably just going to elope and say eff it

KCFDcat · « **Reply #1089 on:** June 08, 2016, 11:58:37 AM »

I paid for my groomsmens suits and hotel rooms for night before and night of wedding. Plus bought them lunch the day of the wedding.

I thought destination weddings meant the couple (or the parents of the couple) paid for lodging at minimum. I am no miss manners, so I could be wrong.

You have to draw the line somewhere and I wasn't paying a rough ridin' penny more

I commissioned an artist to make a painting of all of our faces like on Mt Rushmore and gave them each a print.
