Did the bride or groom pay their own travel expenses? Flight, hotel type stuff.
DH is the best man and he isn't sure of the proper etiquette!

I was the bride and we went to LA! I paid for my own ticket. I think the hotel was booked using 1 girls points. My friends treated me for a fancy lunch when we were there.
DH also had one and he paid for his own plane ticket and the guys split accommodations and wouldn't let him pay.

No, but my husband has gone on several, including his own. I believe the best man bought his tickets, but I'm not sure. I can ask him!

Mine was 3 1/2 hours away. My hotel was covered.
I'm not sure on plane tickets. I think it depends on who chose the location. If the groom to be insisted on Vegas or whatever I think paying his own way to get there would be expected. If it is someone else's idea and they are insisting, they should foot the bill.

I agree with @youboots:
If a group is going somewhere that the bride/groom has insisted on, then the bride/groom should be willing to pay to get there (at least).

@autumnlove: my husband said he did not pay for much on his bachelor party. The guys all split the hotel and plane ticket (they went to New Orleans).

I think in my husband's (they went to Puerto Rico) case, he bought his flight but the guys split all the hotels costs between them. I think each guy paid for 1 activity for DH, too. But then DH planned an activity and paid for everyone to sort of thank them.

yes I've gone on them and my own was destination as well. Usually the bride pays for her own airfare but the rest of the ladies split the hotel.

I have. I wasn't in the wedding party, but I know that the wedding party did split the expenses for the bride.
My husband had a destination bachelor party and the guys paid for everything for him for the weekend.

The ones I'm familiar with the bride/groom paid airfare and the bridal party split the hotels / drinks / food.

In my and my husbands circle, bride/groom pays for their own plane ticket. Hotel and all food, booze and activities were split among those attending.

Mine was and I have gone to a few more. Bride always bought her own plane ticket. At mine, one BM picked up the one night at the hotel, and at others I think whoever was sharing a room with the Bride may have covered the hotel? It definitely wasn't brought up and divided between all.

Mine was in Vegas (we live in so Cal) and the girls pitched in to cover gas (we drove), my hotel, my meals, most of my drinks.
Hubs went on a Carnival booze cruise for his bachelor party and his brother/best man paid for his stateroom and booze all weekend. He didn't pay for anything.

DH and I both had destination parties and we both went to multiple destination parties before our own.
Bride and groom always paid for their own flights. Lodging was always split between everyone (although we usually didn't let the bride or groom pay). And people would usually chip in throughout the weekend and pay for drinks, activities, etc.
