I certainly wont be doing that... weddings are expensive enough!!

We're not paying for our guests rooms & I think most of our guests will be staying near the venue (My family are from South Yorkshire, h2b's family are from Lincolnshire & we're getting married in Staffordshire! - long story!! lol!!). We're just gonna pop a guest info card in with the invites, letting people know where they can stay, which will hopefully imply that they have to book & pay themselves without sounding rude!! lol! x x x

I would never expect5 a hotel room to be paid for me!

No we couldnt afford to.Our guests are travelling to scotland so we have said we will host a dinner on the friday night (and pay) as well as the wedding breakfast and evening buffet. The rooms include breakfast so they will only have to pay for rooms and drinks for the whole weekend. Also we paid for a more expensive wedding package per head as it included the guests getting their rooms for 50% less.
I provided details of the room prices and agreed to book for everyone at the venue, I also provided details of some cheaper alternatives nearby.
We arent having hen and stag dos as we know its costing everyone to come to the wedding as its a whole weekend not just a day.

weddings are expensive enough they should pay for their own

Im not paying for anyone room that down to them your not forcing them to stay over. The only rooms that wont need to be paid for is both set of parents and obviouslys ours as they are covered in the wedding package we chose.
x x x

we're only paying for ourselves and our 4 children,lol, thats quite enough!!!

NO!! I wouldnt expect anyone to pay for my room if i was attending a wedding or a taxi home come to that!!

With our venue we are hiring a castle for 2 nights and it sleeps 28 people in total on the estate and we are charging people £100 for the two nights, two breakfasts and a BBQ the night before the wedding.
No one has complained about that as our second choice option was a hotel that charges £160 a night with no breakfast so they are getting a bit of a bargain!

we have 18 people coming to Florida and apart from my son who is 14 everyone else is paying for themselves flights etc and then we are having an evening reception when we are back and if people wanna stay over they can do i made a bed and breakfast list up for all the guests and sent it with the save the dates so they can organise it all themselves xx

We aren't paying for guests hotel rooms, it would work out way too expensive plus I don't think anyone would actually expect that from us x

The village we´re in only has one hotel, our venue and it is tiny, only has four rooms so we´re paying for those rooms and that´s where me, my nana and my BMs will be staying the night before the wedding. That´s as far as accommodation for guests is going for us really, after that it all gets beyond the realm of confusion but we´re figuring it out and trying to find ways to keep the costs down for our guests.

The nearest hotel is about 30 mins away (we´re marrying literally in middle of nowhere lol). We´re going to suggest that everyone with cars is welcome to hire cars at the airport and we´ll give them information for the local hotels so they can book hotels nearby. Everyone else will be staying in local villas, the going rate is about 800pounds a week to rent a 3 bed villa, so for a couple of days shouldn´t be more than about 200pounds and that will either be for a family of up to 6-7, and we´re going to suggest that couples without children stay three couples per villa, so splitting the cost between them all.

It´s taking some effort to arrange but we´re doing it.. slowly.

we are paying for my parents to stay for 2 nights ...they will be driving from somerset to the midlands and as my father will be 82 .mother 72 we thought it would be a nice touch to have the room the night before and the night of the "wedding"......
everyone else can stay at the hotel or the premiar inn up the road if they want to

We are also only paying for parents, although most of our guest have already said they are paying for their own as they are the ones choosing to stay the night.... xxx

I was quite shocked to find out that my sister has paid for our room for her wedding...I had never heard of this before (other than maybe for BMs and parents) ... needless to say I wont be offering the same hospitality to my guests, just cant afford it. We have however booked a room for our MoH. As both sets of parents live locally, they will be trotting off home after the reception!

I have never expected my room to be paid for, (other than at my sisters wedding when my dad paid for it for me).

I will find local rooms and provide info for my guests :)

No way! we get our room for free and 20 rooms with a 15% discount so we've had to hand these out to people.
No way would i have someone pay for me as lovely as it is weddings are a huge expense anyway!
