Just try to find something cheaper nearby where you can stay, if possible.

Whatever you do, once the decision is made, NO recriminations from either of you and enjoy yourselves.

bride_on_a_budget

when i got married in may many of our guests stayed in the hotel the night before and night after at around £300 for both nights,
the hotel was about 1 hour away from where we lived.

I knew my maid of honor could not afford to pay for the 2 nights so i asked her to arrive the morning of the wedding, she was there at 8am. i had alot of other family members around to help me the night before.

i think you should mention that you cannot afford to pay for the hotel but you will be there early on the day to help out with anything she needs
