I have about 130 or so people coming for my wedding in July to a National Park, what I want to know is do I pay the park fees or should the guests pay? It is about $6.00/person or I could probably get a group rate?

I would try to get group rate. Or ask the park if there is a way waive the fee.

You would absorb the fees. These are not "people coming to my wedding" -- these are your guests.
If it is too pricy, think of an alternative site. I'm a wedding consultant and deal with situations like this all the time -- such as valet parking.
If your wedding is that large (130 guests) it warrants certain etiquette as opposed to a very small casual affair.

Your guests should be able to go through the "prepaid" or "resident" line and say "we're here for the *insert last name here* wedding".
Either that or...you can arrange to have a van pick your guests up outside the gate and shuttle them in.
Regardless, I would contact someone in the park headquarters building to find out what you should do to avoid your guests having to pay.

I'd be really nice if you would pay the park fees. Guests shouldn't be expected to pay to attend the wedding.

All nat'l parks accept group bookings. It's your place to pay, since it's a venue that requires admission (traditionally, the church, club or ballroom is paid by the bride's parents). But fear not, the admission of a large group is SIGNIFICANTLY less than the standard per person charge. Go to this site to look it up.
Good luck and congratulations!

I agree you invited them they should not have to pay for anything.. I bet if you spoke to the park it would be included in the price for the rental of the park space or you could get a group discount..

Why would the guest be paying anything to attend your wedding.

You should pay. Guests shouldnt feel like they have to pay to see the wedding.

Actually you should pay cause you invited them. You need to take care of all the preparation for them. All they do is bring themselves and a gift for your wedding.
