What are you covering as hosts outside of the food and beverages at the reception? What is common in your circle vs what you are choosing to do? Traditionally, in many circles, it was and still is common for guests to pay for their own transportation (airfare/rental cars/taxis, lodging) but social media is now pushing the idea that couples are bad hosts if they can’t afford or choose not to shoulder those costs in addition to standard wedding expenses.
Then there are parties and events outside of the wedding day and rehearsal dinner for the attendants that couples are expected to host of any degree of formality, even when they are not traditionally the responsibility nor etiquette of the couple to host. Not all couples can afford or choose to pay for clothes and hair/makeup services for their attendants but many guests and attendants “expect” that as a thank you gift instead of paying for their own, using the argument that celebrities on social media cover the costs for their guests. Where do you personally draw the line.
