Planning a destination wedding but haven't decided on a location yet.. our families are scattered all over the U.S. Should I try to find a venue somewhere in the middle to accommodate guests or just go with my heart's desire?

if many are traveling regardless i don’t think location matters in terms of “convenience “

Just try to limit plane changes, if possible. More people will come
1. If it really is a cool destination
2. If they don't have to change planes or spend an extra night just to attend.

Thoughts on kindly asking your bridesmaids to please not give a gift? I am over the moon excited that my bridesmaids will be celebrating me and traveling for the wedding and bachelorette.

Even if they were millionaires I would not want a gift, but I don’t want it taken the wrong way.

My partner and I are planning to elope. We want the wedding and the trip that will go with it to be for us. That being said, we want to throw a party of some kind to celebrate with our friends.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)
