> but people getting married should be upfront with their wedding party how much it's going to cost them to be in the wedding.

Are you not from the states?

It's common knowledge / assumed that you pay for everything beside dinner and drinks.

I’m from the states but I was 23 and it was the first wedding I’d ever been to. And I guess wedding costs for guests wasn’t a topic anyone around me ever brought up.
I was surprised by this too. I was raised in the states but my family is extremely chill when it comes to weddings, never more than a small ceremony at court + dinner.
I've been to several weddings and honestly never heard of anything like this.
