My daughter is getting married next fall and wants an outdoor wedding on our property

    Hello everyone. My daughter is getting married next fall and wants an outdoor wedding on our property. She has ideas involving what she calls glamping tents for the wedding party to stay in. I am the one paying and also the one who will be setting these up, so I would like to understand what I am actually agreeing to before I say yes. Is this realistic or a Pinterest fantasy?

    It is realistic but the honest answer depends on how many units and who is putting them up. One or two, very doable. Eight, you are running a hotel. For the aesthetic she wants, glamping tents like Coody's canvas and inflatable models do read the right way in photos, prices land in the $1,259-$2,599 range depending on size. The part nobody thinks about: these need to go up a day early and someone needs to take them down after the wedding, when everyone including you is exhausted and hungover. Negotiate that in advance, in writing, while she still wants something from you. Also check your ground properly - a slope that seems mild when you walk it is a nightmare to sleep on, and you will hear about it.
