I am the type of person who would be ALL about a destination wedding (that is, if I don't elope in Vegas, or something). If that were to happen one day, though, I might invite a handful of people who aren't family, but I wouldn't expect them to come. How'd I'd convey that to them, I'm not really sure. I might also think about paying a portion of the bridal party's way, considering I'd be saving so much money by not having a huge ceremony and 200+ guests back home.

Thank you!
