No. You are not expected to pay for their expenses, that's why is crucial for you to tell them in advance and ask them at lear one year out and see if they are finnacially able to go to your wedding.
Asd a courtesy to them, you may pay for their hotel expenses.
Good luck

No you are not expected to pay for your witnesses trip but you are required to send out the invitations very far in advance so that people can begin to make travel arrangements and to save up. If there is someone who you know just can't afford it but is very important to you then you could consider paying for them but are in no way obligated.

No. If you want, pay for their room for the night before and day of the wedding. If they want to stay longer, they would pay for it.
As a courtesy, let all your guests know the details (date place etc...) as soon as you make them so they can make reservations and arrangements. You don't have to send out formal invitations until later, but you should find a way to get the info to them well in advance.

No you aren't required to pay for them. But i would scout out who you would want as your witness' and see if they would go.Destination weddings are about whos coming. Find out who is coming and then choose your witness' if you really want someone to stand out for you and can afford to pay for them its nice but not required

Not to my knowledge...if the witnesses agree to go on the trip, then they should be paying for it also.

You aren't "expected" too, but since you are asking them to deal with a major financial obligation, it would be very nice of you to make it easier for them.

No, you're not required to. It's part of them accepting the responsiblity. However, it'd be really great if you would, or at least cover part of the expenses.

Well, you won't have any other expences like the church, reception hall, food, so yes, why would you expect them to fit the bill for you??? You want them there, you get them there!!
