Why You May Want To Rethink Your Destination Wedding

Why You May Want To Rethink Your Destination Wedding

destination weddings

Are you planning a destination wedding? Weddings are great, no doubt. Firstly, they are the start of something new; a journey of love and family, and having it at a destination that you’ve always dreamed of would be just as incredible.

These are factors you’ll have to consider before traveling to a new land to get married. Some of these factors are listed here. 

●      There May Be Complications

International travel can come with unforeseen complications. For starters, you’ll probably be dealing with people who speak a different language. And you’ll see other countries’ laws or regulations. Then there are the thousands of miles you’ll have to sit through.

There’s a need to hire a professional local wedding planner to help you with all this.

●      Some Of Your Exclusive Guests May Not Attend

 There may be guests who are unwilling or aren’t buoyant enough to handle their flight fare to your wedding destination. Also, their jobs might be a barrier to their ability to travel.

You may consider sending out save the dates up to 12 months before your wedding to give your guests ample time to plan for the occasion.

●      Planning On Imaginations

It’s a risky bet to plan something as unique as your wedding without knowing what to expect. Unlike planning your wedding in a familiar destination, you won’t get to have a prior view of your venue before the wedding day.

You’re going with whatever they offer you at whatever venue you’ve chosen; another big reason to hire a professional local wedding planner.

●      Your Vacation Becomes A Family Gathering

Your list of guests may contain mutual friends or colleagues or acquaintances. Therefore, your honeymoon won’t be as private because of family and friends.

 If you must, be sure to state in clear terms how you’ll prefer your honeymoon to avoid awkward meetings with your guests and family at such times.

Some vendors are willing to travel with you for your destination wedding, especially if you fancy your local delicacies and services too well. However, they’ll be unable to pay for the airfares.
