Hello! My fiancé and I are having a disagreement regarding attendant accommodations. I think that we should pay for two nights of accommodations for out of town attendants; he thinks we should pay for one night. It is my opinion that we should pay for the night of the rehearsal dinner and the night of the wedding. He thinks that since the attendants would have come to the wedding regardless of whether or not they were in the wedding party (and therefore they would have needed to pay for one night of accommodations anyhow) we shouldn't have to pay for the night of the wedding. I think that this is irrelevant - they ARE in the wedding party, and therefore we should pay for both nights.
On a related matter, we are both unsure of whether or not we should provide accommodations for the flower girl's family. We think that we should, but we wanted to check with the experts first.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Re: [SarahBee81] Accomodations for Wedding Party
[In reply to]
Dear SarahBee,
Anyone you have asked to participate, and isn't paid to do so, in your wedding shouldn't have to pay for lodging. So, they are expected to participate in the rehearsal and wedding. This means that you two would be responsible for at least two days of lodging.
This is a perfect time for your fiance to learn what most husbands already know how to do. This is to say, "Yes, dear. You are right."
