We had a destination wedding and kept it very small. We invited sixty people and we had fifty-two attend. So we kept to close family and friends. I was 30, my husband was 29 and so we were adults making a nice living by then. There were a couple of family members on either side who were struggling financially at that time and so we paid for their airfare and hotel. We requested no gifts and we didn't have bridal shower/bachelor or bachelorette parties. We kept it as simple as possible.
We were old enough...mature enough I suppose, to understand that not everyone would be able to make it if we planned a destination wedding. I have however known some other couples who planned destination weddings who got out of sorts when everyone didn't attend. I think that's silly....but it's not surprising. A lot of emotions around weddings.
