I need help figuring out etiquette for out-of-state guest costs. My Mom is telling me that it's etiquette to pay for hotel and even airfare! I sure have never been offered up neither a hotel room or airfare when invited to an out-of-state wedding. My Mom and Mother-in-Law are both huge on "etiquette" and think hotel is the minimum that should be covered. We have 9 people coming from Canada who would need 3 seperate rooms for two nights. With rates at the hotel we chose at $200, thats a grand total of $1,200! Sure we could put them in the Motel 6 nearby which would cut the cost in half, but I think that's worse etiquette than not getting them a room at all. I'm keeping out-of-state guests informed of where we're staying so they can book the same place as us, but I don't agree with paying their way. We have a wedding to pay for, not someone's mini vacation! I'm probably so off here so please chime in with your thoughts on this. I know they won't ask for us to pay their hotel costs, but should I be offering it?? I didn't exactly budget for it, not knowing, and I sure don't want to be accumulating debt because of it.
