Destination wedding- how much do we pay for??

Hi all! Me and OH got engaged recently and I have always had my heart set on a destination wedding. Currently at very early stages (looking at 7 million photos and gathering quotes!) but in the meantime would appreciate some advice on how much of our guests' costs (travel/accommodation/etc) we should expect to cover?? It will only be family and very close friends attending, and will give plenty of notice for them to save for flights etc but not sure of the general etiquette in this situation?
Thanks in advance! xx

    When it comes to destination wedding etiquette regarding guest costs, the general rule is straightforward: guests are expected to pay for their own travel and accommodation. However, because you are asking them to travel a significant distance and spend their vacation time and money to celebrate with you, there are a few standard ways to help offset their expenses and show your appreciation. acceptanceinsurance com
