Oh I got it so we can't suggest LIW where they might get more info or up to date info... 
you can suggest whatever you want.
i just didnt agree with your suggestion on this thread. Shes never been on LIW, doesnt have a million questions, just one specific one, and since many people are married here, she could get a quicker response here....JMO

Ok, because I have no reason to go on there. Not that it matters.
Plenty of people ask wedding-attending advice here, feel free to ask away! No one has to respond if they don't want to. 
I think it all depends on the bride and what she plans to do. Some have destination weddings to save money and so they probably won't pay for everything. A friend of mine who had one didn't pay for dresses for her bridal party, but she did pay for most of the dinners we all attended. I'm sure your friend will tell you before hand right?
Thank you =)

Re: Destination weddings. . .
I never really understood why people need to be the board police.
If you want to answer the question, do so. If not move on.
Noone should be made to feel like they can't ask a question on here.

Let me clear up why I made my post...so this can end NOW!!
I said to post it on LIW because LIW is about wedding NO??????? that would be the more appropriate place top find out information about destination weddings. I found nothing wrong with giving her a sugguestion but i guess because allot of us are married, that means we can give the 'best" advice on weddings huh??

Re: Destination weddings. . .
DH was just best man in a wedding in Key West...we paid for our plane tickets and hotel ourselves.
The bride and groom had a catamaran cruise the night before the wedding for everyone and also had us to the house they were renting for lunch the next day.
Even though its an expensive proposition for someones wedding, we considered it a vacation for ourselves.

Re: Destination weddings. . .
Since when do we send people TO LIW? I thought LIF was the safe haven, no?
My opinion is that the BP would be responsible for their own expenses.

Re: Destination weddings. . .
I have been in 2 destination weddings and I paid my own way.
Both couples hosted "special dinners" prior to thier weddings.
Honestly, my friends that got married away were not able to afford to pick p the expenses of the bridal parties.
Also on a side note- we enjoyed both events

Re: Destination weddings. . .
I think it's the way it is posted that comes off wrong. This is not the first thread I have seen someone (usually the same people) tell another poster to post a wedding related question on LIWeddings which to me is ridiculous. If someone wants to ask a wedding question here that is fine, a lot of us have been married or been to weddings so can give the same advice.
I never posted on LIWeddings so I would not go over there if I needed wedding advice about a wedding i was going to. I would post here. I trust most of the woman on these boards advice. JMO.
As to the question at hand, I went to one destination wedding a long time ago as just a family member (not in BP or anything) and we paid our own way. I would never expect someone to pay my way, however i would expect that person to understand if financially i could not make it.

Re: Destination weddings. . .
I feel she has every right to ask a wedding related question here if she feels the need to. I as well am not on LIW, and there are MANY wedding related threads on here. (do you think you still fit in your dress, pics from wedding, invites, etc) noone says anything. Let her ask her question and hope to get the responses she wants.

ITA and as far as the op, I haven't yet been to one, but my bff is getting marriedn in Mexico next summer and everyone is paying their own way. Also, just as a side note, I actually did some searches on LIW when she was planning this and honestly, it wasn't very helpful anyway.

so she has to search the keyword destination wedding and bridal party and get hundreds of posts to search through when all she has to do is ask for advice on here where 90% are already married...
If you dont want to read a wedding post, then dont open the thread.
 Thank You!
It's one question why do you people have to make such a big deal!

Re: Destination weddings. . .
I wouldn;t count on the bride/groom paying for your accomodations. If I were in the BP I would assume I was paying for my own accomodations

Re: Destination weddings. . .
we were going to do a DW however after the planning started we found out people close to us were unable to go do to pregnancies, and such, so we decided to do a wedding in NY instead.
When we were planning it though all guests were expected to pay their own way and we had a person to book all travel needs and found various packages based on what people wanted to do and length of stay. We were planning to pay for all wedding type activities.
JMO, but you are the ones getting married there is no need to pay for others vacation. If they can come great, if not then we would have understood

Re: Destination weddings. . .
from all the research that I did when I wanted to have one, you only pay if you can afford it but it's really not customary otherwise.
aside from that, ask away, this is not the first wedding related question here.

Yeah when she said destination wedding I was like awesome, but then I started to stress for some reason, who pays, what goes on? Thanks
