Destination Wedding TIPS, TRICKS & TO-DOs

💡 Tip:

Visit the location (if possible) before booking.
If your budget allows, do a pre-wedding planning trip to your destination. You’ll get a feel for the venue, meet vendors in person, and spot any potential issues you wouldn’t catch online.

⸻

🪄 Trick:

Use local vendors recommended by your venue or planner.
They know the area, culture, and common hiccups better than anyone. Bonus: you’ll save on travel and accommodation fees for vendors flying in from home.

⸻

✅ Do:

Do give guests plenty of notice—at least 8–12 months.
Destination weddings require more time off, budgeting, and planning for guests. Send save-the-dates early and include travel info, room block details, and a list of nearby activities.

Minimonies & Microweddings!!

Consider planning a smaller wedding if you are on a tight budget. Sometimes bigger is not better! Intimate weddings have taken over the wedding world and saves couples so much money and also allows you to spend your special day with the people in your life who really matter (close family and friends). You know the ones you would take out to dinner on your own dime.

Try planning for a 25-50 guests wedding and watch how stress-free wedding planning can really be! All those who truly want to congratulate you on your nuptials can always send a gift.

PS* 8/10 times, guests never bring a gift anyway.
