Hi Everyone! So we are planning a beach side wedding and thinking of renting a spectacular event home which we will remain at for the honeymoon. My question is this...the house is quite expensive but we feel that having all events @ one place, beach front with tons of onsite activities and perks would be great. #1 Our wedding will be held out of state so everyone will be an out of town guest. #2 We would like our immediate family to stay @ the house until the day after the wedding but even with them staying we will have PLENTY of extra rooms. Most homes have 10-12 bedrooms and we really only need 5 max for us and our families. So would it be totally tacky to open up rooms for family but charge them? Some nice hotels in the area but not a ton and even if the paid 100 bucks a night to stay @ this fabulous home it would still be cheaper than staying @ the hotel. Thoughts??? Suggestions? Just seems stupid to waste all the extra space.....

Hi hcdinva,
The way I look at it is that if you are paying for the house anyway and have extra rooms then why would you charge anyone? You know what I mean? You are paying the same whether they stay or not and if they are travelling to your wedding from out-of-town and bringing you gifts, wearing new outfits, etc, they are already spending a lot of money for your wedding. So think about if you would be able to fill up all the rooms of the house to help make things easier on as many people as possible without asking them to pay for it. Does that make sense? Also another suggestion if you haven't done so already is to book a block of rooms at the local hotel to see if you can get a discounted rate for guests who have to stay at a hotel. Good luck with your planning. A beach side wedding sounds wonderful.
Now, if you were thinking about renting the house, and asked around to see if anyone wants to rent a few rooms, that would be okay. (Like a family vacation where you rent a huge house instead of staying at the hotel.)
