So, we are getting married in a state park and many of my friends and family will be coming from out of town. We rented a 52 person cabin for a big sleep over so that people who are already having to pay to fly in wouldn't have to fork out anywhere from $50-100 a night to sleep in a hotel in New Orleans (not to mention all the driving would require a rental car- the park is about an hour and a half away from New Orleans Airport). I am very conscious that most of my friends and family can't afford to spend a lot. Neither can we.
We are al so on a tight budget. And no, I don't mean I spent a lot on food and my dress and had to cut corners elsewhere. I mean actually on a budget- doing bouquets ourselves, making a lot of the food (FI is a cook), making bouttonieres and the cupcake tower, and having it in a state park for cheap. Is there a way I can say that the cabin acommodations will cost $10 (that will cover both Friday and Saturday night) without souding completely cheap? I feel like this is more than acceptable for two nights of housing but I still feel weird. Do I have to just bite the bullet and cover this all myself?
