My fiance and I are having a destination wedding on the island of Kauai. We wanted to make sure all of our invited guests had time to save so we sent our save the dates 12 months before the wedding. (Our bridal party knew earlier.)
My sister just had a child and she decided that they don't want to fly the baby (who will be 13 months) that distance. I absolutely understand 100%! My sister said she'll do what she can do be there (I've asked her to be a bridesmaid). My issue is that I continuously get texts from her husband (who is not attending) telling me that I need to make sure I throw a huge, elaborate reception if I'm requiring people to travel so far (we're on the east coast). He keeps pressing that I need to make this trip worth while for guests. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can handle his pressure?
