Been to a few destination weddings (Mediterranean coast, India, Montana), and I think they’re the most fun, by far.
All 3 of them being for close friends and family, I have come to understand the expectation to be:
If it’s too much, or you don’t want to travel that far, or you’re busy— no worries! If you do, great, we invited you because we want to celebrate with you too, so why not make a big trip of it?
And then usually followed by a more casual reception closer to home for those family and friends who wanted to make it but couldn’t for whatever reason.
