Anyone else think destination weddings are selfish?

We've been to a couple destination weddings and have always had a blast!  Maybe you can recruit someone to watch your kids and you and DH can go.   But I gotta say, I wouldn't feel pressured.   The 2 brides I know that have had them knew that by having a destination wedding some of their close relatives/friends wouldn't be able to make it. 

I agree though, if you truely feel obligated and can't afford it, I would say something now.  If the couple is bothered that so many can't attend maybe they would reconsider.  If anything you can just send your DH too.

I think they are fine as long as they don't expect everyone to go as well!  I would have to say that we couldn't go if that was the case.  No way would I travel with my two little ones.  Also I BF so I couldn't just leave them home either, not like I would want to anyway.
