We are getting married in a different country and have gotten great feed back but also flack due to the resort being too expensive and having to get certain things in order in order to go (passport, flights etc). We made a very detailed statement to those who want to share our day with. Stating we understand that this can be costly and would love for those who can to share this day with us. For those who can’t we asked for well wishes and love. What is to asking for too much when planning a destination wedding. I mean for those that can paying their airfare and hotel stay isn’t asking much. It’s an all inclusive resort meaning meals, beverages (alcohol including),and activities are included. Help me understand or please give suggestions on what to do. Are destination weddings more of an inconvenience to guest invited?

I love that you’re doing what you two wanted to do! Although I now see you wrote this 10/7 which was a while ago so congratulations! That’s actually our wedding day this year! But yes I wanted to say we have felt similarly while planning especially when certain family members won’t be attending due to different reasons. But this is what we wanted to do and are so excited about it, and are happy celebrating with whoever does come.

Yes, destination weddings are more expensive and inconvenient for guests. That being said, you are of course allowed to choose to have one. Just don't be upset when people decline.

That is not true. There is no guarantee that the "main people" will be able to afford the trip or the time off, no matter how close they are to the couple.
