Debate with my friend

Usually you invite the out of town to the Rehersal dinner, but that is up to you and your budget.... If you (or your parents) can do it, it will be nice but if if is not in your budget you dont do it.

i think it untimely depends if you can afford it or not... i would talk about it over with your parents and see if maybe everyone can chip in...

im not really sure, i dont think there are set rules when it comes to wedding stuff but maybe more of a courtesy to pay for the brunch. I dunno, originally I wanted everyone to have breakfast together the morning after my wedding , but then I heard that the bride and groom are supposed to pay for that, so Im hoping to find a hotel that includes breakfast

Re: Debate with my friend

I'm so confused but, every little thing pushes us over budget and that extra 1,000.00 can be used for our house. FH parents aren't in the picture and my parents are helping with the wedding but, if i plan something i know I'm going to be expected to pay for it... and my family lovessssssss to drink

Re: Debate with my friend

I would say no...only because that is a lot of people to feed plus the wedding but I am not sure what the 'right thing' would be and what people expect.

I think no also but, I think it's expected if you have something... we might end up having to chalk up the money

Re: Debate with my friend

hmmm, hard to say, maybe you guys can have brunch or lunch catered at your paretns house, to make it less expensive and more relaxed?????

Re: Debate with my friend

With so many other responsibilities that you have alone planning your wedding I would say no. If guest know in advance they should make arrangements. I hope I don't sound selfish but sometimes it's hard to go that extra mile. If your OOT guests accepts your invite, they have to pay for their own plan ticket.

What the heck!!
