Plan the Perfect Destination Wedding
Are you tired of attending the same old ceremonies of marriages held in holy places with a huge gathering of family and friends? Exhausted to the core with all the planning that needs to be done for a traditional wedding? Do you feel like having a truly romantic wedding that would be a very special moment for you and your beloved?
If your answer is yes to all these questions, then there is no doubt that you need to try out a totally different type of wedding at a totally different location. In addition to your tying the nuptial knot, you get to enjoy a blissful honeymoon vacation with your partner as well as fun with some very close friends and family.
Destination weddings are very popular with young couples these days and the prospect of trying out something that is entirely different for a change is an adventure in itself.
So if you plan a destination wedding, here are a few useful tips that would help you get prepared for the event well in advance, leaving you with little or no options of last minute hassles.
Make the Budget:- This plays a very important part of your wedding right from choosing the location to the travel options and stay arrangements, along with an estimate of the number of guests to be invited and the additional costs incurred at the location. It’s only after setting a budget that you can decide on all these options and make room for some extra expenditures.
Choose the Perfect Destination:- The destination you choose for the wedding has to coincide with the type of person you are and your fancies. If you are a beach lover, a beach resort would be the best option. If adventures thrill you, then you can go for a wedding in some of the most remote forests or atop a mountain range. Or if you are a history buff, then choose from among numerous castles inland and in foreign to host your wedding ceremony.
An important thing that you need to know about the particular destination would be the local wedding laws and the requirements you have to meet in order to be eligible for marriage. It is better to choose a destination whose marriage laws and services coincide with or resemble those in your home town.
Always check the weather. Rain and wind can play havoc on an otherwise perfectly planned outdoor wedding while rough seas can spoil your perfect wedding at sea.
Inspect the Site:- A very good advice for those who plan on a destination wedding would be to take some time off and inspect the place in person before deciding on it. More than once, what you see in the pictures is not exactly what you get to see in person.
Take pictures of the specific location of the planned ceremony, have a taste of the local cuisines and visit the restaurants in town to plan out food arrangements. If possible, have a chat with an on site wedding coordinator to get a first hand view of what you can expect from there.
If you are not able to go in person, have a chat with a reputed travel agency which has reviewed the site and clarify important details like climate, available attractions, expenditure, local hospitality, and food arrangements etc.
Notify everyone:- OK. Have you decided on a place? Then it’s time for you to inform family and friends about your decision and the necessary details about the location and the travel options. It is best to send out invitations as soon as possible (maybe up to 6 months in advance) so that everyone can squeeze your plans into their calendar.
Do not expect everyone to say ‘yes’ all at once. Be prepared for rejections and compromises. Last minute cancellations are also common due to various constraints. A sound advice would be to call them personally and ask them about their presence so that you would have an approximate number of attendees. This enables you to decide on the necessary arrangements of seating, lodging and food etc., in addition to the prospective of inviting other guests. Korean Beauty
Start Planning :- Once you have narrowed in on a place and done with site visits, start planning out each part of the ceremony in detail. You can also avail the help of wedding coordinators to help plan out specific and minute details you may tend to miss out.
Everything from the decorations, seating, caterers to the paperwork and other formalities need to be planned perfectly in order to avoid last minute pressures. It is recommended that you call the Tourist Office in the specific destination and clarify the legal documents required for the marriage.
In case of travel costs, you can work out with different travel agents and negotiate the best possible cost of flights, rooms and inland transport for the entire group of visitors. Generally, group bookings are cheaper than individual ones, so you are bound to get a bulk discount on the total price rather than when you book them separately.
Finalize the plans and inform everyone:- As and when you make changes to your original plan, keep all the guests informed as they can make the necessary arrangements to adapt to the change. Make sure your legal documents are filed and ready. Once everything has been planned out, send a detailed report to each of your guests or better yet, call them and let them know about the final plan. This would help you and them be prepared in advance.
Get there earlier:- A better option than arriving at the destination on the eve of the wedding would be to give a whole week after your arrival for the last minute arrangements and formalities. In addition to overcoming stress, you get to spend some time with friends and family before the great day.
Keep the guests entertained:- Remember it’s not only your vacation but a vacation for your guests too. You need to keep them entertained so that they don’t lose interest after a few days. Have a chat with a local tour guide to see what interesting attractions are available for tours around the area.
Alternatively, you can also join hands with a resort and provide your guests a gala time enjoying the facilities provided by the resort. These may include: use of bars, health clubs, and spas, free cocktails and snacks at certain times of the day and night, entertainment options organized by the resort, or maybe a cruise around the island if it is a beach destination.
Whatever it may be, make it a point to have a suitable itinerary for your guests as too many activities would tend to tire them down and too few activities would leave them bored to death.
Enjoy your Wedding:- So there you are. All that you need to know about planning a destination wedding is provided here. Go ahead and plan the perfect wedding that would remain in your memory as well your guest’s as a truly remarkable affair.
