Not sure if this is enough?

So I'm creating a DW budget today, and I'm feeling really confused about what "extras" pay for (or if they are even extras, and not necessities). Here's what we're covering for sure:Day 1. Welcome/Rehearsal dinner for all, local to hotelDay 2. Transportation to/from wedding ceremony, lunch, ferry to San Francisco (and return ferry), private trolley tour of San Francisco, dinnerDay 3. Farewell Brunch local to or at hotelAs a special thank you to our bridal party and their significant others, we are going to spend the rest of Day 3 and all of Day 4 taking them to our favorite "must-see" locations, all expenses (admission fees and meals) on us.What we're not sure about is providing transportation to and from the airport for all guests, especially since people might be arriving at all different times, extending the weekend for additional vacation either before or after our weekend. (We would be covering transportation for our BP.)Is the itinerary ok? Are you guys planning more activities for your guests, or does this look good? On our wedding website, we have tons of suggestions for those that wish to extend their time and make additional plans.TIA!

I think that is good enough, absolutely. Here are the things that we paid for during our trip: Day 1 - Welcome Cocktail Party Day 2 - Snorkeling trip during the day, Rehearsal dinner that night Day 3 - Wedding Day 4 - Breakfast before we left for the honeymoon We did not pay for any transportation. I think your guests will be pleasantly surprised with the amount of things you have already decided to pay for! If I were going to your wedding as a guest, I would expect to pay for my own transportation, so I wouldn't worry about that. Hope this helps!!

Wow, I think what you're providing is above and beyond expectations. You absolutely do not need to cover your guests' transportation from the airport, unless it's in your budget and you want to.All we're providing is: Welcome Dinner, transportation from the ceremony to the reception & back, and reception. We're doing an activity the next day that people are welcome to join us on, but we can't afford to pay everyone's way so we're not offering.

I'm so glad you all think so! After finishing the budget, I realized the tour of the city would tack on thousands of dollars! I don't know WHAT I was thinking?!?! After a mini-meltdown, FI and I decided that a late afternoon wedding and dinner would be the way to go, eliminating the need for a post-wedding activity (still providing transportation for it, because it's difficult to get to, and parking is awful!). We're also cutting the extra day with the BP, and instead doing wine country with them that Sunday, after the farewell brunch. That brought us back to a much more realistic total. Phew.
