Moving far from home with the address on your Save the Date cards? The number of couples choosing a destination wedding has increased by 200% in the last 10 years. We’ve already shared 5 simple truths about destination weddings…but if you’re still on the fence, here are 5 more truths that may convince you to travel for your I do’s.
- Destination weddings offer a neutral setting: Particularly helpful if the bride and/or groom has a demanding family – an original and neutral wedding spot should alleviate any conflict about who’s church, which wedding reception site, who will perform the ceremony, etc.
- Easier and cheaper honeymooning: while some couples choose to honeymoon in a completely different spot from their ceremony, many decide to stay local and relax. What better way to truly explore a special area while saving on travel expenses?
- Planning help is available: sites like www.destinationweddingmag.com offer many resources to help couples plan their wedding event. Hire an expert to help navigate paperwork legalities, reception site logistics, and any special customs for the region.
- You don’t have to pay for your guests’ travel expenses: For couples who are concerned that they should pay, not to worry, etiquette states that guests are responsible for their own travel costs.
- Negotiate and take advantage of package deals: Many wedding locations offer fantastic perks for destination couples, a free upgrade to the honeymoon suite, a group airline discount, a bonus photography package. It can be a competitive business so use that bargaining power to your advantage.
