Destination wedding advice

Our good friend is having a destination wedding (Colorado) and wants us to attend & bring LO.  It is too expensive with everything we calculated. Is it better to tell her now, 5 months in advance that it will be too expensive, or is it better to wait until the invitations our out. She sent out an Evite Save-the-Date.

    I would tell her that at this point in time you don't think you will have the money to go to the wedding, but if something changes you will let her know. Then just RSVP no.

    If the topic comes up I wouldn't keep it from her but otherwise I would wait until the invite. I guess it depends on how good of a friend and how often you see her.

    I would tell her.  I don't think people always expect everyone to attend a destination wedding, so they should be okay with it.  They also might have gone with a specific invite list based on the location capacity and might want to invite someone else in your place so it would be nice for them to know now if you are definitely not attending.

    When you priced everything, did you know if there were any special rates for the wedding guests?  A lot of time they can get special deals for the guests of destination weddings.  I know we got a big hotel discount for a friend's wedding in Jamaica.

    I had a destination wedding and I would have rather known sooner than later. It helps in planning since the destination wedding guest count tends to be unpredictable. And I never expected any one to be there since we knew it was pricey to attend. Don't feel bad, just let them know, I promise your friend will understand.
