So my fiancé are trying to plan a wedding. We have less than 7K to spend on everything, including the honeymoon and it is quickly becoming clear to us that there is just no way we're going to be able to pull off the kind of wedding we'd like to have in Chicago. And most of our guests would have to travel anyway, so destination wedding it is.<br> <br> I found <a href="http://butterflyhollow.com/">this place</a> and it looks ideal but unfortunately, you can only have 14 guests and we need to be able to invite a few more than that. Not a whole bunch more, just a few.<br> <br> Does anyone know of any other all-inclusive wedding spots that are more charming than cheesy? We're not really into Vegas or Sandals or anything like that. It can be anywhere as long as its affordable.<br> <br> Also is there any comprehensive online source for places like this? I've searched and searched and have come up with many bed and breakfasts that do weddings but you still have to do most of the planning yourself, which I would rather avoid. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.92005 Wed, 21 May 2008 01:13:11 -0800 budget destinationweddings weddings Jess the Mess http://ask.metafilter.com/66706/Help%2Dmake%2Dmy%2Dwedding%2Dgreen How do I make my destination wedding enviro-friendly? We really want to have a <a href="http://ask.metafilter.com/63791/destination-wedding-etiquette">destination wedding</a> this March. It was recently brought to my attention that destination weddings leave turbo jet-sized carbon footprints.<br> <br> Never thought of that. Now it's really bothering me. Besides having our guests donate to carbon offset projects in lieu of gifts, what are some other creative ways we can help lessen the impact of maybe twenty people flying from LAX to Central America? Please don't say "just have a wedding at home." I generally try to maintain an eco-friendly existence, but this is the event of my life.<br> <br> <small>Also, please no more commentary about the friendship ethics of a destination wedding -- we're having a reception back home for everyone that can't make it, and we love them just the same. No pressure, no guilt. Sheesh.</small> tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.66706 Tue, 10 Jul 2007 19:31:31 -0800 carbonfootprints destinationweddings globalwarming weddings changeling
