We didn't send out invites to our wedding in Italy purely because we didn't think people would want to pay all of that money to come and see us married. Plus it means only the people who want to be there for us will be there. Quite a few people showed interest and now there are 25 of us going out but when they showed interest we simply said that we'd love it if they could come but would understand if the didn't due to cost etc. I think saying getting married abroad to save money is a bit of an assumption. There are so many other things you have to pay for out there. We're not saving anything but we're getting a lot more quality and quantity for our money as far as food, drink, flowers etc. go. TBH you should feel priviledged to have an invite in the 1st place and politely decline! I see both sides of this.

I chose to marry abroad, yes firstly because of the costs, two to guarantee the weather and 3 because i cant stand traditional weddings so wanted something different. All my guests are happy they are coming to Italy and are looking at it as their holiday, not just our wedding. No one has been offended or annoyed that im marrying abroad to my knowledge and even if they were offended i wouldnt care less. Its our wedding and we do it how we want not how our guests expect us to!!!!!!
