Wedding party accomodations

Airbnb is a great idea for the group! that's very generous and there's nothing wrong with asking people to contribute to that.

I think that getting a group air B&B is a really great idea! I wish that I had that opportunity for my bridal party. It allows everyone to be together and hang out before the wedding. It is definitely a lot more reasonable on everyones pockets which I think that they would definitely appreciate that, whether they have to pitch the $30.00 or if you cover it all.

I think the people in your wedding party will appreciate the idea! It's very generous of you two to even contribute a little bit to their accommodations.

I like this idea! If you're worried about money, think about how they agreed to be in your wedding party in the first place. They knew it would cost them something. Maybe ask them to chip in a little bit? It couldn't hurt!

View quoted message Only one of them has a significant other and they'll be driving home because they'll have a newborn at the wedding. I wouldn't have suggested this as a viable option if it was going to cost everybody extra...

Will the wedding party's +1s be included in that offer or just the party? If they have to book a hotel room for their partners anyway, why would they pay extra to sleep apart?

B&B sounds good and fin for everyone to just be together. Plus a cabin may be nice for all to hangout in the living room.

That sounds like a great idea. It also allows the party to keep going after the official reception. Think I may use this idea too

That sounds like an absolute BLAST!!!! Oh man if I was on a party and given that option I would 100% be all over it!!! Group hangover brunch the next day??? Yes!!!

I agree that it’s a great idea and run it by everyone to see what they think. I might take advantage of it. But then I might also enjoy going back and having my own quiet hotel room depending on how busy and hectic the few weeks before have been.

My fiance and I are booking a cute B&B ourselves for the night, which will be the place where the girls get ready. Its very picturesque.

Then I was thinking that the one we book for the wedding party will serve as the place the guys get ready.

Definitely ok. We were considering renting an AirBnB for ourselves and our out of town wedding party; just couldn't find one that worked for getting ready in the morning as well as accommodating s all. But I think it's a great idea, so long as your wedding party is on board with it.

Its pretty awesome actually. because it ends up being cheaper for everyone involved.

last year I was an MC/coordinator in a wedding (would have been a bridesmaid but she felt bad for me having already been in 12 weddings). and all the wedding party/their dates/bride/groom/myself and FH stayed together in an Airbnb together for 2 nights (night before the wedding, wedding night). and it was great! it was affordable. and it was so much fun.

the bride and groom paid the deposit. but didn't collect money till we all got there. and they provided beer/booze/wine for us staying there/getting ready.

I actually looked into for our wedding. but there wasn't places near our venue or that were big enough.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with asking them! I think it’s nice of you to do so. Especially if this particular group of people does that exact thing every summer. They would probably appreciate it and love the idea! You shouldn’t feel bad about not paying their hotel rooms or an air bnb. No one expects you to pay! My FH was in a wedding last year and we paid for our own hotel room. I would never expect any different, it was our choice to stay and not drive home.

It sounds like a great idea, I'd be down if I was in your party lol.

If you guys already cabin together every summer, they'd probably think this was thoughtful, since it ties in with how you know them personally

Oh yeah, we weren't going to spring it on them. I was going to talk to everybody first and see if they were planning to stay the night, and if they were okay with the price.

THEN if closer to the date, we realize we can afford to pay for it, we will.

I think that it would be okay to book it for them but if you were to ask them to contribute any money at all it should be something that you run by them first as to not put them in a situation where they HAVE to stay there.

So yes it's ok - but only if you ask first.
