s/o destination weddings
DH's good friend is getting married in June. The wedding is in Florida on a Monday. We are still up in the air as to whether or not to go. With it being on a Monday it means DH will have to take at least two vacation days and so will my mom if she watches Eva. It is not near a major airport so we will have to fly, rent a car and pay for a hotel room (the wedding is at a condo complex where you can rent one but you have to do it for the week). I know part of having a destination wedding is knowing that not everyone will be able to make it but I feel bad if we don't go. At the same time it is a lot of money and it means sacrificing other vacation opportunities. On top of that, the bachelor party is in Vegas. I know DH would love to go but then there would be no way we could go to the wedding. Things are too tight right now and the possibility of DH losing his job is still lingering. What would you do?
Re: s/o destination weddings
Would you guys consider just your DH going to the wedding? Save a little on fights, and maybe he would be able to split a hotel room with one of his other friends that might be going(not sure if that is a possibility). Might be a thought. He would still have to take off of work, which I know is not ideal in the current situation, but if it's a close friend it might be something to consider.
I know that if it is a good friend he may feel bad not going, so maybe this might be a compromise. And with the Bach party being in Vegas, I think it is totally ok for him to say, sorry I just can't make it there, but I will be at the wedding.

I would either:
1) Go, and make this your big family vacation for the week. Take Eva and maybe your friends can recommend a babysitter for the day of the wedding. Then do the FL thing for a few more days.
2) Go with just your DH and make it a romantic weekend for the 2 of you. If you do another vacation this year, make it a long weekend, someplace local and less expensive like Niagara Falls or Sesame Place in PA.
3) Not go at all, but send an extra big present.
For what it's worth - the year we got married one of my good friends got married about 6 months earlier in FL. We finally decided we couldn't afford it and didn't go. She had asked me to be a bridesmaid and I had to bow out. To this day, I do wish I had gone and been in the wedding for her.
