Not exactly. While in a local wedding you have to pay for the location rental fee, the food, the drinks, the decor and everything else. In an ideal destination wedding, the hotel will give you perks and benefits according to the number of guests your wedding group ends up booking. For example, the location rental fee, the food and the drinks could be a tiny amount if not free. On the other hand, the number of hours of the waiterns, bartenders and such will be for free depending on the number of rooms your group reaches. This is one of many great benefits of having a perfect destination wedding. As you can invite as many people as you want, they will come only the ones that are willing to pay for their room. And because they are staying at the hotel you and your fiance will have benefits and much better events costs thanks to that.

While traditionally the events have to be paid by the father of the bride, the modern dulhans are changing that. Indeed, yes both parents side contribute paying many things and in many cases the couple actively pays for otherthings. Such as the bridal party hair and make rather than giving them a welcome bag or such. In a perfect destination Indian wedding in an all inclusive resort who pays for what becomes more interesting. On one hand the events costs that usually are paid by the father of the bride is paid by either both parents or even the couples. And each guest pays for their own room. Because of that the cost of a destination wedding in a all inclusive resort is much more affordable. There are substantial savings on location rental fees, food, drinks, etc.

Sending invitations and setting the RSPV due dates is not the same for a local wedding VS a destination wedding. Why? because for a perfect destination wedding the couple is commiting with the resort with a group room block in order to offer a fixed price for their guest accomodation along, room credits, private check int and many other perks and benefits. The group room block basically is a room inventory that the hotel will put aside from public sales in order to secure the number of rooms the couple is comitting to. Therefore, the RSVPs for destination weddings should be put at least 6 months prior to the wedding date as the couple is counting on their guests to come. So, the safe thing to do is to brainstorm a middle point between the entire number of guests you invite and the mininum you will want in your actual wedding.
