Nervous about OOT guests

I'm getting married at Giorgio's. Most of our guests are OOT (Fh's family/friends, my college friends, even much of my family) there is only a handful of my family on LI.

Anyway, I blocked hotel rooms at Holiday Inn and Best Western and Holiday inn is over $200 for one night! Even best western is $169.

FH expressed concern last night about the cost for everyone- between gas, hotels, babysitters, gift, and food- it's gonna cost people like $500 to come to our wedding!!!

Now I'm nervous :(

all of DH's side were OOTers....most came despite the costs, and just gave less as a gift which was completely understandable...we also provided & paid for OOTers babysitters to help offset things a bit...

Re: Nervous about OOT guests

All but 3 of FH 96 people he invited are from OOT. We booked rooms too at a bestwestern my prob. is not the $ but that they will get rooms. We blocked them and they are taking for ever to get rooms. Also, there are three other weddings and a high school reunion going on so they are already short on rooms. Having OOT guests are killer. Don't worry about it. Like I keep thinking if they cant get a room or afford one then that is ok I will still have a nice day!
