If you’re considering a destination wedding, be sure to use these tips as a guide while you plan!
Have Guests Stay in the Same Resort
Not only is it easier to have all your wedding guests at the same resort, but you will receive a group rate and additional perks when booking a certain number of rooms. Give your family and friends the chance to bond and celebrate your love all in one convenient place!
Take Advantage of Where You Are
One of the great things about a destination wedding is how unique each location is. Take advantage of the scenery and culture by incorporating those details into your events and activities. Getting married in Mexico? Consider hiring a mariachi band or hosting a tequila tasting. The possibilities are endless!
Give Guests Down Time
While your friends and family are traveling to celebrate your union, you shouldn’t feel obligated to fill in every single time gap with something to do. Your guests will love the downtime! Provide a list of suggested local experiences to check out, so they can pick and choose what they want to do. This gives them time to relax and feel like they’re really on vacation!
Create an Itinerary
Your guests will appreciate a general itinerary of planned activities just as much as their free time! Try outlining some events that include the entire group so they can plan around the wedding festivities. Add this information to your wedding website or invitations along with a resort map so they can get the lay of the land before arrival.
No Need to Pay for Everything
The couple should never feel obligated to pay for excursions on top of everything else. Organize group activities and note the option to join with an additional fee. Most guests plan on partaking in a variety of activities anyway, so you’re likely to have a good turnout!
Work with an Expert
Planning a destination wedding can be a lot – so don’t take it all on yourself. A destination wedding specialist will handle all of the details, keep you and your wedding guests organized and connect you with all the appropriate personnel to keep things flowing smoothly to ensure you have the best wedding day possible!
