> Not many people can afford flights, hotel rooms, and clothes for every member of their wedding party.
That is fine. I think what is missing is the communication about these in the story.
If you choose and book the hotel room for me I will assume you will pay for it. If not you should make it very clear what is the cost to me and make it clear that it is optional. For example by saying “The reception will be at the X hotel. Most of us will stay there. The rooms for x night will cost Y. Of course we understand if you shop around, but do let us know if you want us to book a room at X for you.”
Same with clothes. To be honest unless explicitly agreed i would assume everyone brings their clothes from home. If you insist on people wearing matching outfits and you don’t want to pay for it… it is hard to make that happen in an ethical way.
Basically just some elementary level of awerness that while the day is Very Important for you it is just a party for others, and also that people have different financial situations.
