Destination Weddings, The Costs and Who Pays For What?

moneyWho pays for what?  This is the question that everyone wants answered.

Unfortunately, we can’t give you any firm rules here. Everything is dependent on the size of the wedding and the couple’s, their families, (and their guests) finances.  But here’s what seems to be generally accepted for a destination wedding.

Guests pay for their airfare and hotel rooms.

The couple or their parents (usually the groom’s parents) host the rehearsal dinner, or a friend pays for the meal, and another goodie such as a massage or gym pass or a sightseeing tour.

Hosts are also responsible for transportation to and from the ceremony and reception, and usually transportation from the Airport.

All other expenses, such as other transportation, other meals, or room-service are the guests responsibility.

For wedding attendants, often the couple will pick up their entire, or at least the hotel bill (minus extras), and beauty services for the women for the wedding.

    Always a tricky one as to who picks up what.

  2. Many couples who married before, do not speak clearly when the first discussions between couples or two families. You agree that this is the best way to have a life to begin with.
