I have a question. Did you ask people to be in your bridal party before they booked their trip? I don't want anyone to feel obligated to make the trip if I ask them. The people we want to ask say they are coming but I just feel like they may not have fully realized how much it will cost, etc and then will realize and reconsider. But by not asking it is making people wonder and not to mention it is making planning really difficult!

We did ask people to be in our bridal party before they booked the trip.  We went out our STDs about a year in advance and also included little cards asking if they would be in our wedding party.  We also spoke to each one of them and explained that we would love for them to join us but we understood if it wasn't possible.  We had two people we asked that were unable to come, due to financial situation and pregnancy, which is understandable.  I think if you just explain to them that you would love for them to join you but if not its understood they will not feel so obligated to come.  We also chose to help out our wedding party by paying for their attire and other costs associated with the wedding day (attire, jewelry, shoes, makeup, hair, ect.)

We asked before they booked but were very clear that we did not expect them to attend and understood if they couldn't. All said yes!
