Sun, sand and sea make for a breathtaking background for wedding photos. It’s no wonder a destination wedding is so popular among couples. Read through the following tips to get you ready to plan your own:
Check your budget
If you have your heart set on that French vineyard wedding, you’ll need to be prepared for the costs. This can get pricey fast especially if you’re flying into another country or doing it in a remote area.
Be prepared for the luggage
If you have to travel to another city or country for your wedding, know that you will be doing it with a ton of baggage. Be sure to put in a couple of extra suitcases in there. That way, you’ll have plenty of bags for your souvenirs and gifts for when you get back home.
Trim down your guest list
One way to control those costs is to trim down your guest list to as little a crowd as possible. That way, you can easily control expenses for the food, get a small wedding venue and save on wedding souvenirs. You could even afford to buy specialized and customized gifts for your guests because they there won’t be too many of them. It’s a great way to spend time with people you’re close to instead of a big wedding where you don’t even know half of the guests.
Tell your guests
Give advanced notice to your guests, says Brides. Some of them might need to renew their passports so they’ll need a month or two to deal with things. The last thing you want to happen is to switch to a different maid of honor or best man at the last-minute because the first ones couldn’t make it due to passport snafus.
