Stag and does?

[alirea]

We are in debates about doing a stag and doe. I say go for it but john isn't sure if that is the proper thing to do. Any thoughts? We are paying for everything our selves and I feel just the little extra cash would out a lot.

I'd be on the fence. It's 2013 so go for it but make sure you limit what people will have to pay for for the wedding (i.e. hotel rooms) and don't expect wedding gifts.

Paying for people's hotels would put us under. We don't live in our home town anymore but rather 6 hours away. We do know people will make the drive. But even our wedding party are from back home so that would be 8 rooms at 150 each. We would go - $ if we did that. I never heard that you pay for others rooms. ... Blah I don't know.

I am doing a cruise wedding and some of our close family wouldn't be able to attend without our help, (elders on a tight budget, unemployed, etc.) I just heard about this type of fundraiser and I would much rather do something like this to help offset some of the cost instead of asking for cash gifts.

I think it's totally acceptable, and if you have guests who can't make it to the DW, at least they could attend this party
