I’ve bееn invited tο a destination wedding whеrе thеrе аrе multiple events over three days? Wουld іt bе rude tο attend οnlу thе wedding аnd reception? Or ѕhουld I mаkе аn appearance аt thе welcome dinner, wedding аnd reception (οf course), аftеr party аnd brunch thе next day?
Please lеt mе know. I’m nοt a close relative. I really dο rесkοn thаt іt’s a bit much tο qυеѕtіοn someone tο spend аll thаt time celebrating a wedding, bυt I don’t want tο offend οr rυіn thе bride’s weekend.
Unfortunately I’m paying fοr thе trip. I’m thinking thаt maybe јυѕt 3 οf thе 4 events.
I rесkοn іt’s really rаthеr wеіrd tο аn аftеr party аѕ well аѕ a reception οn thе same day. Thе welcome dinner аnd brunch I know, bυt whу another party аftеr a reception?

Isn’t there something in between?
If the bride or groom specifically invites you to an event, you’d better damn well show up! Other than that, use your best judgement.. Who paid for you to get to the “destination”? If you paid for yourself, that’s one thing, if family paid, you’re in a different position.
Honestly? No! If you don’t want to to do it, don’t do it. It’d be better not to go if you didn’t want to go, rather than to go and spend three days thinking how much you really didn’t want to go.
You don’t have to attend everything, the most vital is the wedding and reception only…
I reckon it would be acceptable to attend the wedding, reception and perhaps either the brunch or welcome dinner.
You could always make the excuse of a headache or something.
well if u want u attend.
its no huge deal. and even if u don’t attend they are not gona cut ur relation.
if u aren’t interested then juz attend any one of the event i.e dinner or wedding or reception.
u better dicide among reception or wedding.
I reckon the reason you are invited to all the festivities is because they want to make sure you’re well fed. I mean you paid for your traveling, maybe they want to cut off your meal expenses by including you to all parties where food and beverages are served. After party right after the reception is quite common, it is less formal and sometime even the bride and groom changed their clothes to join everybody, and the eldery people or children are gone.
Anyway, I don’t reckon you have to go to all, but make sure you make it to the welcoming dinner (they want to see who’s there), wedding&reception (this is why you came), and the brunch (usually this is the time they want to say goodbye and thank you for coming).
Technically, since you are paying for the trip, you do not have to attend all the festivities. But, I bet the bride thinks otherwise! All the festivities, by excellent manners are free of charge to you, [or should be], and are being provided for you so you do not get bored. And you really should try to go to them all. An obvious exception would be a golf game, and you do not play golf.
Try to fit some site seeing, shopping or whatever you want, in between.
Sorry to offend the bride, but it sounds like she plotted things to be all about her. She maybe should have thought that folks would have wanted to do something else besides eat, and drink, and attend wedding functions.
You don’t have to attend all the events. Tell them you tire easily and can only do a few of the events.
